Plus, just so that you don't get lost in the jungle that is our forum... we moved your request to Forum:Memory Alpha - Italian?. :) -- Cid Highwind 21:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I hope I won't do damages, be patient ;D Thank you. --MicioGatta 21:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Italian translation project Edit

I set up a menu of pages to start translating into Italian at User:MicioGatta/Italian translation. If you have any questions or need any help, just ask. The easiest way to begin translating one of these pages is to copy the page source from the the English version and paste it into the page you're translating, then work your way down the page, translating as you go. Have fun! :) -- Renegade54 23:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Babel etc. Edit

One thing that I'd suggest you have your team do is place Babel templates on your user pages. That gives contributors an easy way to identify each other by language skills (Italian or otherwise). Also, I'm assuming that you're the leader of the project and should be granted Bureaucrat privileges on the new version. Is that correct? You would be able to then grant admin privileges as you see fit. -- Renegade54 13:19, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, we translate the Babel template. Well, I didn't want to be the leader, but.... I was elected.... --MicioGatta 19:03, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Template translation Edit

Ok, first edit the template at User:MicioGatta/Sidebar character and translate the text I've marked. Let me know when you're done, and we'll move on to the next step. -- Renegade54 21:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Done, but the sidebar example about Worf is disappeared.... Is it ok? --MicioGatta 19:00, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, how should the template name "Sidebar character" be translated to Italian? -- Renegade54 21:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Informazioni sul personaggio. Thank you! --MicioGatta 19:00, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Admin privs Edit

There's a wiki that was set up in April, apparently at your request, at http://memory-alfa.wikia.com/wiki/Pagina_principale. I'll need you to grant me either bureaucrat or admin status there so I can import the pages you've created here into that wiki. The Wikia staff has put in the request to have the URL changed to http://memory-alpha.org/it/wiki/Pagina_principale, which will take a few days. Once I move the pages over there, we can continue to work there until Wikia gets the new URL set up. Those pages will then become the Italian MA. -- Renegade54 20:42, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I requested that wiki before I realized I can be linked to your project. Please, tell me how I can grant you bureaucrat or admin status there (and which one is better). Thank you --MicioGatta 20:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Go to http://memory-alfa.wikia.com/wiki/Special:UserRights. You'll see a box to enter a username. Enter Renegade54 and click on the button "Edit user groups". You'll get a screen with some check boxes. The main difference between bureaucrat and sysop is that bureaucrats can assign rights to other users and sysops cannot. -- Renegade54 20:59, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Ok, I think now you have the rights. --MicioGatta 21:03, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Translation Transfer Edit

Howdy MicioGatta, If you guys hold off editing while Renegade moves over all your files to the new location that would be great! Then you'll have your Italian Translated ready to go for more editing. — Morder 18:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'll tell the guys to stop teh translation for a while. --MicioGatta 18:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)Thank you!

Thanks... I'll post a message here when I'm done. :) -- Renegade54 18:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks to you for all you work!--MicioGatta 18:36, 30 September 2008 (UTC) and her "staff" ;D

Ok, you can continue editing at w:c:memory-alfa until Wikia gets the urls moved over. If you have any questions or problems, just ask. :) -- Renegade54 21:18, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
