DEBIAN_WIKI
Hello:
My account at wiki.debian.org is OmarCampagne.
I'm trying to bring the Spanish translations in the wiki to a decent
state, as well as introducing minor updates into some base pages.
My problem is that the wiki interface in Spanish is only
half-translated, at the best, if not entirely misleading, as some links
take you to empty pages (in example, when you click on help for
searching in the Spanish UI). The previous translator translated the
LinkNames (instead of es/LinkName, or leaving them as it is since there
are no translations), but not the content of it, rendering some items
totally useless (empty, asking you to create a page for it, I'll rather
have it pointing to the en version rather than to an empty one).
As my account is new, I do not have administrative rights over any part
of the wiki. Would it be possible to get them in order to translate the
Spanish UI, and redirect those empty links to proper pages with content?
As far as I see, I have no power to change the Spanish UI with this account.
I would also like to be able to merge or split pages, yet the UI doesn't
show those options to a regular user.
I would like to be able to merge base pages as the translations should
be updated after the base pages. i.e., I can't translate the page for
synaptic, as it has to be (ToDo) merged with another one describing more
functions.
It is pointless to translate a page till the base pages are merged. I
would like to avoid double-working, and if I can do it by myself, the
better.
It is not my intention to use those rights to turn the page upside-down
with a major master plan of how the wiki should look, just to fix those
inconveniences, particularly the ones regarding the Spanish UI,as they
are misleading (in case they offer any information) to a spanish
speaking user.
Thanks, Omar
