I was translating Help:Images page to bangla language.suddenly it says that it wouldn't save my edit as i could be a possible vandal.how to fix that.
The error message was because you translated a heading (== Requisites ==) as a non-heading (প্রয়োজনীয়তা). The equals signs should be preserved in the translation.
But this edit filter really needs a better error message.
oops, i got it.and fixed it.thank you.
I've updated the abuse filter so the next time this happens it displays a clearer error message rather than calling you a vandal.
hi everyone
My problem: I wanted to upload a picture (png.) from my computer into my wikipage.
Everything looks good until i get this:
We could not determine whether this file is suitable for Wikimedia Commons. Please only upload photos that you took yourself with your camera, or see what else is acceptable. See the guide to make sure the file is acceptable and learn how to upload it on Wikimedia Commons.
I've got the permission to use this picture, it shows nothing sexualthere is nothing violent or anything at all in it. What should i do?
thanks.
Looking at task T146938, it looks like a filter used to prevent newbie users from uploading files to commons directly from other wikis (from the visual editor of a wiki different from commons). You should be able to upload it from commons: and then link to it from your page.
I don't understand :(
Me too :(
@Ciencia Al Poder Hi, even in commons link which you have provided above, I tried to upload my pics and I've authorised lisence to use these photos as the photos I'm trying to upload belongs to me but still I'm getting an automated error
"We could not determine whether this file is suitable for Wikimedia Commons. Please only upload photos that you took yourself with your camera, or see what else is acceptable. See the guide to make sure the file is acceptable and learn how to upload it on Wikimedia Commons.

Please guide me how can I upload these pictures.

No solution if you're asking here. See previous comment.

Hello all,
A special election has been called to fill additional vacancies on the U4C. The call for candidates phase is open from now through July 19, 2024.
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications in the special election for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.
In this special election, according to chapter 2 of the U4C charter, there are 9 seats available on the U4C: four community-at-large seats and five regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement. No more than two members of the U4C can be elected from the same home wiki. Therefore, candidates must not have English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, or Italian Wikipedia as their home wiki.
Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki.
In cooperation with the U4C,

Dear community members,
The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees invites you to give feedback on a draft Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle. This draft Procedure outlines proposed steps and requirements for opening and closing Wikimedia Sibling Projects, and aims to ensure any newly approved projects are set up for success. This is separate from the procedures for opening or closing language versions of projects, which is handled by the Language Committee or closing projects policy.
You can find the details on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.
You can also share information about this with the interested project communities you work with or support, and you can also help us translate the procedure into more languages, so people can join the discussions in their own language.
On behalf of the CAC,

Good day all.. I am trying to authenticate my email address within the MediaWiki, but when trying to generate the ConfirmationCode it returns with ERR: Feedback from the mail server: Unknown error in the PHP function mail().
As per MediaWiki there is a instruction on what to do, but unfortunately this does not apply to my .php script.
As per instruction there must be within the "sendmail.php" script an section called "$wgSMTP", but this does not exist in my .php script.
Info: I did setup MediaWiki on the Synology-Server and downloaded from PackageManager within Synology.
Question:
- Can I just add the "$wgSMTP" to the existing .php script?
- Do you have any other solutions?
Any assistance is highly appreciated.
Best, Tim

So I was translating the title of Manual:$wgRC2UDPPrefix to Spanish but it marked my translation unconstructive because it was the same thing, tho is like that because $wgRC2UDPPrefix is obviously not being translated and Manual is the same in Spanish
Thanks for the feedback, but the filter is necessary to prevent vandals from adding fake translations that only admins can delete. You changed nothing on the translation, so effectively there's nothing lost by rejecting your edit. When you get sufficient edit history on this wiki, some of those filters will no longer apply to your edits.
I want to create a project page for a tool I'm building on toolforge. Wikimedia_Product_Guidance/Starting_a_project_page implies that project pages should live in the main namespace. But when I tried to create one, it told me I can't. Am I misunderstanding something? ~~~~
That guidance is for Wikimedia Foundation staff, to ensure that there is community-facing documentation of work underway. That said, documentation pages of projects that are in the scope of this wiki are welcome here.
When you say "it told me I can't", what is "it" (presumably an error in the editor when trying to publish?), and what specifically were you told?. If you were linking to an external site, such as a repo on GitHub, that will stop you as you're a new user, which could be the problem?
They triggered Special:AbuseFilter/83, which prevents people with <10 edits, other than autopatrollers and WMF staff, from creating pages in mainspace.
Try now - I've adjusted the filter.
Aha, thanks both. @Marnanel, does it work for you now?
Working fine. Thank you for your help!
