@Anomie I think you would have to track the origin language for each, because my suspicion is this is happening because maintenance categories are applied differently on some other version of wikipedia. When I translate from fr-wiki I'm always having to take off categories like "wikiproject europe articles", and when I translate from de-wiki I need to remove a bunch of "norm data" that is basically our Template:Authority control with extra steps. -- asilvering (talk) 01:10, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This page says The English Wikipedia community has restricted article creation by the WMF's semi-automatic content translation tool to extended confirmed users., but that seems to be untrue? There are non-ec users in this list, for example: [1]. -- asilvering (talk) 01:16, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It appears (based on my examination of the recent changes and also Special:AbuseFilter/782) that only directly creating pages in mainspace with the CXT are disallowed (which is technically correct according to the wording: ...restricted article creation...); non-EC users can still translate the page into, well, practically any other namespace (the code in the edit filter only disallows for "page_namespace == 0"). Which doesn't make much sense to me, since autoconfirmed but non-ec editors can circumvent this limitation by simply translating the page into draftspace or their userspace and then moving it into mainspace (although it does leave behind a redirect).

In my notifications, I have several notices from three hours ago telling me that I have some CXT translations about to expire and reminding me to publish them. Then, I have notices from 40 minutes ago, saying they've been deleted. Surely we should be giving people more than three hours between notification and removal? Is there something we can do to change this timeframe? -- asilvering (talk) 16:40, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
