== 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.

== Category page deletion (2) ==
  
== Proposing a template for translated pages ==
+
Can you delete this page, please? I'm reorganizing the categories within "Music".
  
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:
+
Can you delete this category, please? I am having a hard time rearranging the categories...
  
* A note telling readers that the page was directly translated;

== About boilerplates ==
  
* Invitation to edit page

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)

::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.

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).

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.

if cond == '' or parent:preprocess(cond) ~= '' then
[[: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]].

+
table.insert(output, parent:preprocess(text))
 
+
end
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.

:::According to regulations on [[:zh:MGP:投票方针|votes]] and [[:zh:MGP:提案|proposal]], there seems to be no limits of the least votes, only of the least administrators (including the higher-level bureaucrats) attended of 2, as well as a simple rule of votes pros-over-cons of both mass and admins to pass a proposal. However operators (so-called '''staff''' in zhmoe) of the site have been moving into a much more centralized policy since late September, thus {{spoiler|admins are now designated by operators instead of voted by mass, and }} votes of administratiors and patrollers have been doubled to 4 and 2 votes, separately. That means every single administrator holds more votes than us three.

== Article deletion ==
 
 
 
Hello. I think that [[Africans|this article]] should be deleted since it's about a (mostly) controversial topic and people might sense "disturbing racist undertones" there. I believe Moegirlpedia should avoid getting into this type of trouble. Also, I believe that the term "{{lang|zh|非洲人}}" originated from the Chinese community and it is mostly used there, and their culture isn't the same as others, so I don't think would fit into the scope of English Moegirlpedia. Chinese Moegirlpedia covers many terms and slang that only Chinese people can understand... [[User:LiaMinina|LiaMinina]] ([[User talk:LiaMinina|talk]]) 16:24, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Article deletion (2) ==
 
 
 
Hello again... I want [[Archon|this article]] to be deleted, since too much of the text is copied from [https://tvtropes.org TV Tropes] (specifically [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurArchonsAreDifferent these] [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/Gnosticism pages]). I believe the Chinese version of the article (from which I made the translation) had the same problem and it was deleted as well, since I couldn't find it. When I checked the article here, I saw that my translated text was too similar to the original articles on TV Tropes.
