Karibuni

Thought this would be an amusing name for a discussion page. I am presently the only sysop/admin on the sw.wikt. I live in Nairobi. I'm more comfortable still writing in English when it is very important to get things just right. Robert Ullmann 13:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Kompyuta

This is a 'bot that is writing pages in other languages while we can concentrate on the Kiswahili entries themselves. Please contribute here, as well as both to the entries and translations sections on the en.wikt. Robert Ullmann 13:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

These entries will show a number of missing templates while they are being added. Robert Ullmann 16:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the word is perhaps better "Tarakilishi", but the bot is named Kompyuta. Robert Ullmann 12:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello?

How do you say "hello" in Swahili? I understood that you can say "habari", or "jambo", but there are no articles for them on the Swahili wiktionary. --89.1.55.228 18:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

We are working on very basic things, and only 1 or 2 people so far ... "habari leo" is literally how are you today? "jambo" is literally "problem?" (so a response can be "sijambo", "no problem". If you want translations to/from English, the en.wikt is a better place at least for now. Robert Ullmann 12:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Habari za hapa nd. zangu

Naona majadiliano mda mrefu lakini mengi huzungumzwa Kiingereza, sasa hapo bado sijafahamu lengo kuu ni nini. Maana hii ni kamusi ya Kiswahili, inahitajika watu wote waongee Kiswahili na sio Kiingereza. Basi nami nimeingia hapa wikitionary, natumai tutakuwa ote. Basi tuendelee.--Muddyb Blast Producer 12:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Fundi Chuma

Ni jina la ndege. Kiumbe huyu ana mdomo mrefu na miguu mirefu membamba. Mwili wake ni wa khaki. Huwa na kawaida ya kutoboa miti na kutengeneza shimo na baadae kulitumia kwa ajili ya makazi yake kama kiota. Naombeni msaada nilijue jina lake kwa kiingereza. Shemeji 13:05 26 Machi, 2008.

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Sorry for delivering you a message in English. Please help translate the pages on the referendum on Meta and join the translators mailing list.

Terms of Use update

I apologize that you are receiving this message in English. Please help translate it.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is discussing changes to its Terms of Use. The discussion can be found at Talk:Terms of use. Everyone is invited to join in. Because the new version of Terms of use is not in final form, we are not able to present official translations of it. Volunteers are welcome to translate it, as German volunteers have done at m:Terms of use/de, but we ask that you note at the top that the translation is unofficial and may become outdated as the English version is changed. The translation request can be found at m:Translation requests/WMF/Terms of Use 2 -- Maggie Dennis, Community Liaison 01:19, 27 Oktoba 2011 (UTC)

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 16:35, 15 Januari 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month. You can help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid disruption and breakage. More information is available in the full announcement. Thank you for your understanding.
