== Concerning files ==
+
== New draft proposal concerning Translation Moderator  ==
  
I'm not sure about the current situation of files. It seems to me that they are directly uploaded to the english moepedia page, instead of shared with others language pages in moe commons. Would it be possible if we relink all files into moe commons? Many pictures on pages are unable to be shown. Eg, [[Girls' Frontline: Springfield]].
+
All editors, please be notified a new proposal has been submitted at [[Talk:Discussion_board/Translation_moderator]], according to regulations discussions about to take place.

Hello... I would like to request these pages to be deleted, please, since they're empty. These were created as I couldn't figure out a name for [[:Category:Game developers|these]] [[:Category:Japanese game developers|cate]][[:Category:American game developers|gories]].
  
::I would contend otherwise... Take File:Springfield_Private_dress.jpg as an example. It cannot be found in commons (yet, since I just uploaded it). P.S., [[Girls' Frontline: Springfield]] links to this photo (as can be seen in "File Usage") but the picture cannot be seen on the wiki page. Could you be so kind as to see if it is possible to fix it? --[[User:Asakura Nemu|Asakura Nemu]] ([[User talk:Asakura Nemu|talk]]) 03:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

About translated pages

[[:Category:Songs]] [[User:LiaMinina|LiaMinina]] ([[User talk:LiaMinina|talk]]) 16:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
  
I've just committed a page [[Mesugaki]] <del>so that I can use it in my user page</del>. The problem now is, I suck at {{ruby|translating|English}}, and the article is barely readable, let alone coherent. So I stuck a [[Template:Langproblem]] in there.
+
:Why? Songs are diffrent from Music.——[[User:KingChan|KingChan]] / Fan of [[XY Production]] 06:38, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
  
The thing here is, I don't think the template was especially designed for this. That was probably for simple language problems. So I was thinking if anyone could write a template that can be hung to demonstrate that the page was <i>directly</i> adopted from another language version.
+
== Category page deletion (3) ==
  
I think it could contain the following message and parameters:

* A note telling readers that the page was directly translated;
+

:The template lost a <code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code> at the end and its new alignment is from [[T:Characterinfo]]. You may need a refreshing edit for its new look. --[[User:6116G|6116G]] ([[User talk:6116G|talk]]) 07:38, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

::: After I fixed the template it didn't show its new alignment on pages using it unless an edit is made. But if you don't meet the problem you can just ignore that term. --[[User:6116G|6116G]] ([[User talk:6116G|talk]]) 09:49, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
  
* Parameter: translation method (choices from 1/2/3/4), where numbers expand as follows: <br>  1->Manual <br>  2->Manual with Machine Assistance <br>  3->Machine with Manual Proofreading <br>  4->Machine <br> I think this could default to 3 or 4, but since Machine translation is not allowed defaulting to 4 might cause confusion.

Hello. Is it possible to enable boilerplates in EnMGP? That way, it would be easier to create articles. [[User:LiaMinina|LiaMinina]] ([[User talk:LiaMinina|talk]]) 20:36, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
 
 
I'm not familiar with templates so I was hoping someone else would be capable of doing this.

:Web pages whose entire content is automatically generated by a program are not allowed in [[萌娘百科:收录范围#不予收录| zhmoe]], maybe you should consider the same standards.--[[User:KingChan|KingChan]] / Fan of [[XY Production]] 02:58, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
::It appears I have not made myself clear. I ''manually'' translated this page in concern. What I'm saying is, I am not learnt in translation, and cannot ensure my translations are coherent. The meaning of this template is: the page was translated from another language, instead of being originally writen in the language of this pedia (English). Thus I am discussing the probability of creating a specific template to warn the users: this page was translated, and may have misleading language.
 
::I totally agree disallowing machine translated pages on this pedia. This is not a big problem, since we can adjust the parameters to disinclude 4. However, doing so would in fact ''encourage'' people to use 3 in the place of 4, and you can't even say they did not do anything. --[[User:Asakura Nemu|Asakura Nemu]] ([[User talk:Asakura Nemu|talk]]) 05:16, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

== On Categorization Policies ==
 
 
 
On the [[https://en.moegirl.org.cn/Template:Moegirlpedia_help|Moepedia help template]], there is "Categorizing articles" in "Intermediate Editing" (which redirects to [[User:Nostalgia/Category_tree|a page]] under [[U:Nostalgia]] who is apparently blocked). So I'm dropping a note here to memo that someone has to write a policy document on categorizing.
 
 
 
A few weeks ago I rebased Category:Userbox to Category:Userboxes. So I was thinking Categories that have a noun phrase as the central part of the phrase should be in plural.
 
 
 
I don't think zh has a Categorization policy either. Let's see if we can implement this on en first.
 
 
 
--[[User:Asakura Nemu|Nochelux Iquinawir Illumina]] ([[User talk:Asakura Nemu|talk]]) 12:23, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
The capitalization policy of categories has no coherence whatsoever. I'll give an example that I noticed.
 
 
 
[[:Category:Pages_with_Materials_Awaiting_Translation|Category:Pages_with_Materials_Awaiting_Translation]] follows [[Help:Title_Naming_Standard/Rules_for_Capitalization|article naming standards]]. Then, it claims to have two subcats that just capitalize the first letter <i>without</i> capitalizing the proper nouns: [[:Category:Pages_with_chinese_materials_awaiting_translation|Category:Pages_with_chinese_materials_awaiting_translation]] and [[:Category:Pages_with_japanese_materials_awaiting_translation|Category:Pages_with_japanese_materials_awaiting_translation]]. But then we <i>do</i> have another category [[:Category:Pages_with_Chinese_materials_awaiting_translation|Category:Pages_with_Chinese_materials_awaiting_translation]] that <i>does</i> capitalize proper nouns.
 
 
 
So we're essentially following 3 sets of capitalization methods in this simple example. It is <b><i>urgent</b></i> that we agree on <i>one</i> capitalization method. This issue was never brought up on zh or jp because they don't capitalize anyways.
 
 
 
--[[User:Asakura Nemu|Nochelux Iquinawir Illumina]] ([[User talk:Asakura Nemu|talk]]) 08:30, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Hi. Actually, a "category policy" or "category guidelines" page wouldn't be a bad idea. Also, I checked, and yes, unfortunately, ZhMGP doesn't have that kind of page either. So, how would that kind of policy or guideline document work? [[User:LiaMinina|LiaMinina]] ([[User talk:LiaMinina|talk]]) 20:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
:In fact there is [[:zh:MGP:分类指引|a loose regulation on categories]] on Chinese Moegirlpedia, though a clear consensus have yet to be reached after a proposal with really mass discussions on it there.--[[User:6116G|6116G]] ([[User talk:6116G|talk]]) 09:28, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
::Not very detailed & quite idealized; I doubt there would be tens of thousands of CATs on moe zh if this regulation were really carried out. Plus, it doesn't address issues specific to EN, like pluralization and capitalization. <br>Nonetheless it would be a great place to start from; if we are to write a new guideline we'll try our best to keep it inline with this guideline. Just to ask, do you know how many votes we would need to get for such a guideline in order to send it into effect? There aren't many active editors on EN Moe; most Moe regulators don't visit this remote place that often either.--[[User:Asakura Nemu|Nochelux Iquinawir Illumina]] ([[User talk:Asakura Nemu|talk]]) 11:02, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
