Every now and then I get requests to mark a page for translation, as my other me – User:Johan (WMF) – has translation admin rights. It would feel mean and silly to say no, and create extra work for the person who's asking, so of course I do it, but as being a general translation admin on Meta is not a WMF role, it would be much better if I did it with my normal account in my own spare time. I have read Meta:Translation administrator and Meta:Translate extension. Tech/News/2017/45 and 2017 Community Wishlist Survey are examples of pages I've marked for translation. /Julle (talk) 13:29, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- Makes sense. I've checked, and he's already marked plenty of pages for translation, so I'm sure he knows what he's doing. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:37, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Question: Could you also (re-)read mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example and mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration, please? The thing is that Tech News traditionally diverges from the documentation, and I see that markup in 2017 Community Wishlist Survey is not per the docs too (unneeded tags between paragraphs, the way lists are tagged and so forth). While it is too late to change it for Tech News, it has a sub-community of translators who are used to the way it is, I would strongly prefer that the rest of the pages follow the main guidelines. --Base (talk) 17:45, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
- Noted. Will do. /Julle (talk) 13:23, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Julle: any progress? Matiia (talk) 02:16, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I've read the pages again. (: /Julle (talk) 17:13, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Julle: could you please prepare a page for translation? Matiia (talk) 00:36, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

@Julle: it would be nice if you can prepare a page for translation having into account Base's comment. This request can't be open forever. Matiia (talk) 20:36, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- Of course. My apologies. See User:Julle/Example, which should follow the recommendations (and what I've perceived as the norm on Meta when the two pages disagree with each other, for example the markup in mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example compared to what mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration explicitly says about images). I took Lorem ipsum text and added a couple of headers and a couple of images. (: /Julle (talk) 21:49, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
