Welcome?

I registered at this wikipedia because I want to have an account in wikipedias that I like. I love the Polynesia, and that is the reason for my signup here. For your information, I don't know nothing in māori and I don't have the intention to write articles/stubs. My hard work is in ca: and commons, with some activity in :ty. Thank you for your friendly welcome.

Congratulation for your great work on the maori wikipedia. If only tahitians and CI Maori could take example on it. May be one day.

Na Laurent Nevers

Kia ora koe. Heoi anō, nā Curnow tēnei: Eight manuscripts deal with myths and tribal history. Three of these were the source of most of the prose material in Grey's Ko nga moteatea, me nga hakirara o nga Maori (1853), and also provided Grey with at least a quarter of the material for his Ko nga mahinga a nga tupuna Maori (1854), and hence for its translation, Polynesian mythology (1855). Grey did not acknowledge his debt, and introduced alterations, combinations and omissions, particularly in the latter two works. Kahuroa 21:14, 6 Kohi-tātea 2007 (UTC)

I just see what you mean about the tahitian or I should say the catalo-tahitian wikipedia. Funny :) I think someone should told this so called Tahititoa to stop here. But after all, this is the business of the Tahitians and they have no excuse not to manage it. Contrarily to lots of south pacific islands, they have cheap and high speed connection and believe me they spend time on the internet, genraly for endless chatterings about politics. Ok for the translation, i'll do it this week fr:Utilisateur:Nevers

Auckland Meetup 2 Scheduled - Feb 10 2007. See: en:Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland 2

Hi, We have scheduled a meetup in Auckland next month. It would be great if you or other people from the Māori Wikipedia could attend. Could you please let others here know about it. Here is the invite I am planning to use. - en:User:SimonLyall

You are all invited to Auckland Meetup 2 on the afternoon of Saturday February 10th 2007 at Galbraith's Ale House in Mt Eden. Please see en:Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland 2 for details. You can also bookmark en:Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland to be informed of future NZ meetups.

Translation

Here's the translation you asked me.

Les site est-il fait pour aider les contributeurs ayant un niveau de langue limité ?

Ce site est dédié à la langue maori et ses locuteurs. Notre objectif n'est pas de fournir une aide aux locuteurs d'autres langues. Par le passé une telle politique a été appliquée avant d'être depuis abandonnée en raison de ses effets contre-productifs, le nombre de pages en ébauche et les listes inutiles s'étant multipliés. De plus un grand nombre de sujets abordés n'avait aucun intérêt pour les locuteurs qui n'avaient aucune envie de les améliorer.

Puis-je améliorer mon maori en ajoutant des ébauches

De même que pour les autres petites wikipedia, la version Maori a une politique demandant de ne pas créer d'ébauches. Il vaut encore mieux aucun article qu'une ébauche d'article. La raison en est que les ébauches consistant en une seule phrase sont plus une nuisance qu'une véritable contribution. Cette wikipedia ayant bien moins d'utilisateurs que la version anglophone, ses utilisateurs ont une plus grande responsabilité envers leur contribution. Si vous n'êtes pas capable d'écrire un article correctement, au moins ajoutez le bandeau {{Maramara}}.

D'autres contributeurs corrigeront-ils mes fautes?

De même que pour la question précédente, le réponse dépend de votre degré d'implication. La langue māori est considérée comme 'te reo rangatira' – une noble langue qui mérite d'être traitée avec respect. Ne créez pas d'articles à moins d'avoir une bonne maîtrise de la langue, sans quoi cela sera considéré comme un manque de respect. Sachez également que corriger les fautes des autres n'est ni simple ni une partie de plaisir. La langue étant toujours considérée comme étant en danger de disparition, les personnes ayant un bon niveau sont peu nombreux et peut être peu intéressées par l'article que vous avez tenté d'écrire. Pensez vous qu'il soit juste d'avoir ainsi exposé aux yeux du monde une langue mal écrite. Soyez sur qu'une grammaire déficiente sera l'une des raisons pour une suppression rapide de l'article

Merci beaucoup pour ca.Kahuroa 04:45, 8 Kohi-tātea 2007 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism

Hi Kahuroa, the best thing to do is just protect the pages that the spam bots create, if you don't it will just keep recreating them over and over. And most wikis usually just block the offending IP for at least 2-3 months.  : ) --Az1568 02:17, 27 Kohi-tātea 2007 (UTC)

CommonsTicker: CommonsTicker, The Next Generation

I am currently testing a new version of CommonsTicker (dubbed CommonsTicker NG) on the german Wikipedia - problems with ticker pages growing too large made a partial rewrite necessary. Most changes are "under the hood", the larges change for users is in the way the ticker page is structured and updated:

CommonsTicker will now create a subpage for each day, and include this as a template on the ticker page. New entries for a given day are added to the respective subpage without modifying existing entries on that subpage. Old subpages (sections) are removed automatically from the main ticker page - per default, 7 sections are kept (days for which there are no entries are not counted). Please check that your ticker page has both start- and end-markers for the region where CommonsTicker should post (see m:User:Duesentrieb/CommonsTicker#Ticker_Page); everything between the markers will be replaced. If the markers are missing, the entire page is replaced.

When I have finished testing CommonsTicker NG, I will activate the new version on the wikis where CommonsTicker is currently disabled due to problems with page size (the large projects I mentioned in the last announcement). When all goes well, I will start to switch other wikis to NG one by one, as seems convenient. If you want the new version soon, or you don't want it yet for some reason, please tell me about it on m:User:Duesentrieb/CommonsTicker#Change_Requests.

This message was posted automatically by the CommonsTicker bot. For feedback and discussion, please go to meta:User talk:Duesentrieb/CommonsTicker -- CommonsTicker 14:48, 6 Hui-tanguru 2007 (UTC)

Problems for the ʻOkina Template in German Wikipedia

Hi Kahuroa, as you might know I introduced the Template for the ʻOkina in the German Wikipedia. Recently a user started to delete the template links in the article de:Hawaii which I refused to accept. That user cannot see certain representations of the ʻOkina due to well known problems of the MS Internet Explorer. Currently there's a Mediation Committee discussing the subject. I proposed a workaround for the MSIE (MSIE und UTF-8, in German), but the counterparty don't want to accept. He argues, that this workaround is not reasonable for users with the MSIE. If you're interested to discuss this, you may check this page (in German):

• Aushilfslösung zumutbar? Ja oder nein? (Is the woraraund reasonable? Yes or no?)

Hi Kahuroa, you deleted the interwiki-links connecting the template with Wikipedia in other languages. Did I violate a rule or convention by implementing the links? Greetings, ThT 18:28, 21 Hui-tanguru 2007 (UTC)

no, you didn't break any rules. I reverted it because it was displaying incorrectly - i noticed that it was making an extra line on some pages. But, I should have worked out why and restored the interwikis - I will do that now. Cheers 23:16, 21 Hui-tanguru 2007 (UTC)

I breathed a sigh of relief ... Well, I think it was that linebreak before the <noinclude> tag. I should have doublechecked with the English or German template before. Sorry about the extra efforts for you. Greetings, ThT 06:58, 22 Hui-tanguru 2007 (UTC)

I could see that you have done further editing of some articles in the German wikipedia I have worked over, which means you are doing a great improvement of their quality. I appreciate that! As you know I am translating a couple of articles by getting them imported from the English wikipedia and then in a second step translation and after that moving them to their final lemma/position. You could have a look at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Wolfgang_K/Importe, so you could watch parts of my Māori-related activities in a more convenient way.

Māori flag in a German article

Tena koe Kahuroa

would you please support me in reviewing the description of the Māori flag and have a look at [2]. I was wondering about the meaning of the colors of the Māori flag, if the descriptions were right: red might represent Te Whei Ao, but also Papatuanuku, but when Papa is represented in this flag, where is Rangi to be found? Seems not logical to me. The explanations in this article re the Māori flag seem to be direct translations of [3] Kia ora Wolfgang K 21:47, 27 Haratua 2007 (UTC)

The colours are actually traditional ones used by Māori see Image:Kowhaiwhai.jpg which shows how these colours are a feature of house decorations as an example. They are also featured in a famous whakataukī (proverb) by the first Māori King which mentions red, black, and white threads. Whei Ao is usually spelled whaiao and means 'daylight' . There are also proverbs or phrases used in traditional speechmaking oratory that talk about coming out of darkness into the whaiao - daylight, ie, talking about birth etc; and light also means understanding whereas darkness = lack of understanding. Re the caption in the deWiki article, the flag is not the 'Maori flag' exactly, it is the flag of the Māori Sovereignty movement - a protest movement asking for Māori rights and constitutional change, and protesting at government actions regarding Māori land. Will get back to you about the meaning of the colours and the proverb - in a hurry at the moment. Kahuroa 00:25, 28 Haratua 2007 (UTC)

The flag is generally called the tino rangatiratanga flag. See en:Tino rangatira. The phrase 'ki te whaiao, ki te ao marama' is used a lot in oratory and poetry - it's kind of a stock phrase. ki te= to the. Whaiao = daylight, open day, and ao marama = world of light and life. To me that's the meaning of the flag colours, where black = darkness, nothingness, potential, out of which you come to the full light of day.

Black red and white are traditional Māori colours as I said above. Red is associated with chiefs = rangatira. As well the three colours are mentioned in this whakataukī, which is not directly related to the flag, but is an example of how the colours are significant to Māori:

'Kotahi te kotahi o te ngira e kuhuna ai te miro mā, te miro pango, te miro whero. I muri, kia mau ki te aroha, ki te ture, me te whakapono.'

'There is but a single eye of the needle through which white, black and red threads must pass. After I am gone hold fast to the love, to the law, and to the faith.' These words were spoken by Pōtatau Te Wherowhero at his coronation as the first Māori king. The faith he referred to was Christianity' (p246, H.M. Mead, N. Grove, Ngā Pēpeha a ngā Tīpuna, The Sayings of the Ancestors (Victoria University Press: Wellington) , 2001.).

Tena koe Kahuroa,

This time I am speaking to you under my proper user account, therefore you have no excuse to block me this time.

Since when have I ever vandalized any articles before on Maori Wikipedia? For your information, I had also contributed some articles under the Username Pakeha. You did not object to any of those contributions.

Please be considerate and show some mercy and kindness by not blocking me again or deleting that article which I had just created a few minutes ago. From now on, I will stop bothering other Maori Wikipedia users.

Let us be friends and resolve this issue peacefully.

Yours Sincerely, --Jose77 00:00, 12 Pipiri 2007 (UTC)

This is not spam. The correct terminology is to be used is Canvassing. The reason why I removed my messages was not to "hide" the message. It is rather because those users rejected or ignored my request; hence the proper action to take next would be to remove the content from their talk page (In other words, to Clean up the mess be removing the cross-postsing after it is over). --Jose77 00:24, 12 Pipiri 2007 (UTC)

Dear Kahuroa,

I promise not to expand that article any further on Maori Wikipedia. The introduction section and external link will be sufficient enough. --Jose77 00:30, 12 Pipiri 2007 (UTC)

For your information, I had a fair idea that User:Pakeha was yet another incarnation of you. You obviously did not understand what I said on the talk page of that user, or what silence means in our culture. If you mean what you say that you will not bother any other Māori Wikipedia users, I will consider your request. I hope that will apply to all of your multiple names. Kahuroa 00:33, 12 Pipiri 2007 (UTC)

I will not use those multiple accounts for vote-stacking or bothering Maori Wikipedia users etc. I had originally intended to use the account User:BrianT77 because of the following security reasons:

1. Someone who is known to the public or within a particular circle may be identifiable based on his/her interests and contributions; dividing these up between different accounts might help preserve the person's anonymity. Users with a recognized expertise in one field, for example, might not wish to associate their contributions to that field with contributions to articles about less weighty subjects.
2. A person editing an article which is highly controversial within his/her family, social or professional circle may wish to use a sock puppet so that readers unfamiliar with NPOV policy will not assume his/her information edits are statements of personal belief.

Those two paragraphs were extracts from the Legitimate uses of multiple accounts. --Jose77 00:37, 12 Pipiri 2007 (UTC)

You are not even blocked because if you were you wouldn't be even writing here - one of your many accounts has been blocked - but you yourself are quite obviously not blocked. You have been called to order in the past for posting source text, and for producing unreadable texts by 'translating' from a dictionary and the like, so what that had to do with you being well-known to the public, I cannot understand. You are obviously very conversant with the rules, so I think you knew those were inappropriate actions when you did them. I know that you feel it is your mission to get your article published in as many places as you can, but that does not excuse such behaviour. Your edits as Pakeha and others, and your anon edits made me wonder what you were up to. Why you used so many accounts, and why you also extensively edited when not even logged in, remains difficult to understand - and I am not the only one to have mentioned this to you. However, as the block is obviously having no effect, and as you say, you have not voted on those accounts, I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and unblock Dave.

Hi

I am mostly from nl:wikt:Gebruiker:Jcwf and I was trying to blow some new life into the maori wiktionary. I am trying to find some names of languages in your tongue. Is french really reo Wīwī? Fitting name, but it gave me chuckle. Anyway what is Dutch and Danish? Iarlagab 00:57, 1 Hōngongoi 2007 (UTC)

FYI: It is quite usual to have template that links wikipedia to its sister project Wiktionary. Pretty much all other languages have it in one form or the other

FYI Without the clear all statement there is an ugly horizontal line straight through that Bittern picture

No I do not speak Maori any more than you speak Dutch. And no we do not consider it disrpectful of you to put your comments on our wiktionary in the wrong language. There is quite a bit of Maori language material on the english speaking wiktionary. Should I distrust it all?

The Autonomus Communities of Spain are translated into Maori?--Tikanga 12:48, 4 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

Hello Tikanga. Please don't add your own tables at this stage, as we have the matter in hand. We are liasing with one of the users of the English Wikipedia and with the New Zealand members there to make a template for these and will base our decisions on what they come up with. By the way have you ever edited here under another name - and would you be able to help us by translating this Wikipedia:Pātaitai noa into Spanish? Kahuroa 00:27, 5 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

I'm very sorry for add another table. I'll begin translating the table now on my user's page.

We can put the articles' names in Spanish and redirect into Maori. Have you deleted the tables in CAtalonia and Aragon? --Tikanga 09:54, 9 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

Reply

You should use Template:Autonomous community. I will leave this in English for ease of use by you. See Catalonia and Galicia for examples you can follow, and it might help if you compare these to the versions on the English Wikipedia (en:Catalonia and en:Galicia). In almost all cases, there are no Māori names for these Communidades; so we use the English names. See also Template:Wāhanga o Pāniora and Template:Porowini o Pāniora.

By the way, have you ever edited here under another name? Kahuroa 11:14, 9 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

About provinves, there's a problem. CCCAA with one province, like Asturias, we say: CCAA: Asturias; Province : OVIEDO, Capital of province and CC:Oviedo. The name of the province is the same that the name of the capital in this case (CCAA with one province). --Tikanga 20:52, 18 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

CCAA = Comunidades Autónomas. CCCAA doesn't exist in Spanish. About other sites, I only work in this site and not very much. --Tikanga 12:39, 20 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

Haven't you got a template like this? You've got a lot of templetes here and I think is better group the, no? --Tikanga 21:06, 25 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

Yes, we have templates like that. But the individual templates need to appear on many other pages, so I don't want to have to edit multiple templates if the lists change, and they will change. There aren't many pages like Kurahaupō, but I'm prepared to put up with them at this stage when I need to create the articles. Kahuroa 00:08, 26 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

Have you got templates with to put on the cities? --Tikanga 20:02, 28 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

I'll try to meliorate this article but it's difficult. Can we have a template with all the things we have to put on each article of Spain's provinces? I think's a good idea. You'll don't have to correct all the articles I've done. What do you thing? --Tikanga 11:39, 30 Mahuru 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at Catalonia - use the same template - Autonomous Communities. You can even just cut and paste from the English version of the article if it uses the same template, but it will still need some correction. You need to speak Māori if you expect to be able to create articles that will need no correction. There is no way to do a template to cover all the bases, because you don't speak Māori, and besides, that is against our policy. Feel free to ask me questions in Spanish - I can read it pretty well. There is no template just yet for towns and cities - I have been waiting for the NZ section of Wikipedia English to decide on a template, then I will use a similar one, but give me a couple of days or so and I will see if I can create a template for cities. You need to understand that creating articles/templates on Spain cities is not a very high priority for me when the towns of New Zealand remain to be created; and you have still not given any indication of what your username is on other Wikipedias.

Hi…there :)

Dearest Kahuroa, how are you? Could you help me with a big favor that would really mean a lot to me? I am wondering if somebody would be so kind to help me translate a short-stub version of two or three sentences of this article for the Māori wikipedia? Thank you very much for any advice or help you could offer :) Susa 19:19, 20 Kohi-tātea 2008 (UTC)

Communities

I've been writing a series of articles in en: on those localities and settlements which have a primary school. For many of these, there is a corresponding article (bot generated) in this Wikipedia. Some of the text I add is very formulaic; so if you could provide me with translations for the variants, I could add them to this encyclopedia.

For example, for localities with census data, I add the following sentence:

The population was 837 in the 2006 Census, (a decrease/an increase [of 78]/unchanged) from 2001.

E ai ki te kautenui o te tau 2006, e 837 te taupori o te wāhi nei, ā, (ka heke haere [ki te 78] i/ka nui haere [ki te 78] i/he rite tonu ki) tō te tau 2001.

Here is the word for word fyi:

According to the census of the year 2006, 837 is the population of this place, and (it decreased [by 78] from/it increased [by 78] from/it is the same as) that of the year 2001.

For schools, I add:

Pukenui School is a (coeducational/boys'/girls') ((primary/intermediate/secondary/composite)) (years 1-8) school (founded in 18xx) with a decile rating of 2 and a roll of 75.

Ko te kura o Pukenui he kura ((tuatahi/takawaenga/tuarua/hiato)) mō ngā (taitama me ngā kōhine/taitama/kōhine) o ngā taumata 1 tae noa ki te 8). Nō te tau 18xx i whakatū ai. Ko 2 te whakatauranga ōtekau; ā, e 75 te tokomaha o te rārangi ingoa.

word for word:

The school of Pukenui is a school((primary/intermediate/secondary/composite)) for the (boys and girls/boys/girls) of the years 1 to 8. In the year 18xx it was established. 2 is the decile rating; and 75 is the size of the list of names.

A composite school is one which covers primary through secondary.

Can you provide me with translations for these cases into which I can substitute numbers and refs?-Gadfium 05:23, 16 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Sure bro. See above - lets have a trial or two to see that this will work ok. The bot was me actually... I took the info off the NZ Geographic board site. Kahuroa 10:15, 16 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

How do Broadwood and Herekino look?-Gadfium 22:09, 16 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

I've imported template:Location map from en: and used it to add maps to the articles.

We could add more text giving directions and distances to other centres, ie

Kaitaia is 26 km to the north/north-east/east/south-east/south/south-west/west/north-west.

Broadwood looks good, but in Herekino I can see I need to tweak the wording for the increase/decrease thing, turned out a bit unclear. Will get back to you. And we can do the directions thing too Kahuroa 02:09, 17 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Reply to gadfium/templates

Here is the text for a decrease:

E ai ki te kautenui o te tau 2006, e 1950 te taupori o X. Mai i te kautenui o te 2001, e 105 te hekenga iho o te tokomaha tāngata.

An an increase:

E ai ki te kautenui o te tau 2006, e 1950 te taupori o X. Mai i te kautenui o te 2001, e 105 te pikinga ake o te tokomaha tāngata.

Kaitaia is 26 km to the [north/north-east/east/south-east/south/south-west/west/north-west].

Ko ngā wāhi e pātata ana, (ko Kaitaia e 26 kiromita ki te [raki/raki mā rāwhiti/rāwhiti/tonga mā rāwhiti/tonga/tonga mā uru/hauāuru/raki mā uru]). - if there is more than one place, repeat the section in (brackets) like this: Ko ngā wāhi e pātata ana, (ko X ...), (ko Y...), (ko Z...).

Ko ngā wāhi e pātata ana, ko Kaitaia e 26 kiromita ki te direction, ko Placename e 24 kiromita ki te direction, ko Placename e 17 kiromita ki te direction.

Re the articles you've edited, it'd be good to use the section title 'Kupu tautoko' for notes. And while I am pleased as with the configurable location map, I am thinking before we get into doing too much work here, we should really first think about using a template which would be more attractive than just an image by itself. And that gets me back to the template for NZ locations on enWiki. Has there been any progress among the NZ wikipedians during my wikibreak? I was working on this en:User:Kahuroa/Template sandbox, - I hadn't given much thought as to what should be included, I was still working on the aesthetics. It makes sense to have a template that is compatible between the two wikis, because that way we would just have to copy the info from the en articles, and the template could include stuff like distances to and from places, coordinates etc. What say we push it a bit if nothing's happening?

Thanks for the translations.

I've worked a bit on location maps recently, but not on location infoboxes. en:Template:Infobox New Zealand suburbs is fairly new, and I've been using en:Template:Infobox Settlement for other localities, eg on en:Matakohe. I suggest you bring up new templates at en:WP:NZWNB.-Gadfium 08:08, 17 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

I have added directions to Broadwood and Herekino; please check. I translated a couple of words of the references using an online dictionary.

I had planned to spend this week in Northland seeing some of these localities I'd been writing about, but the weather made me postpone it until sometime towards the end of the year. I was supposed to spend last night in Kohukohu after passing through Herekino and Broadwood, and travel on to spend the night with family in Whangarei tonight.-Gadfium 08:28, 17 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Fixed the translations - online dictionaries not the best - we use Te Matatiki, the (real) dictionary of the Maori Language Commission, or Williams dictionary. Ngata dictionary a bit dodgy, Reed ok but Te Matatiki and Williams are the real deal. Have a look at the changes I made to see what I did - added a comma etc. With the school you need to remember to start the sentence with Ko... I like the template you used on en:Matakohe, and I will have a look at the templates you mention above too - reckon its about time we standardised the enNZ towns and cities. Shame about the weather eh. Kahuroa 10:06, 17 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

The dictionary I have at home is by P.M.Ryan, but it's quite old (1983) and not very comprehensive. Still, I expect to use your canned phrases and not try to write anything myself.

I was in Matakohe on Saturday taking photos of the local school, and a couple asked me what I was doing so I explained I was taking photos to illustrate the Wikipedia article. "Matakohe thanks you", they said, which was nice. (I didn't use those photos since I got a better one of the post & telegraph office).-Gadfium 19:53, 17 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Appreciate your work here Gadfium. I was away most of the weekend, hence the delay. I am thinking of translating the settlement template - so you can copy it straight from en and it will work as is, if poss. Thanks for marking the pages in need of deletion too - hmm, maybe you might like some more powers here? Kahuroa 04:03, 20 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

I have wondered about that. Not knowing the language is rather a large handicap, but most of the inappropriate edits appear to be in English, and so far, every article I've added to Category:Mukua has been deleted. If I was made an admin here, I would be very conservative in my use of the extra buttons.

As I'm sure you've noticed, I've copied templates from en: as I needed them. I didn't copy the settlement template because it requires translations for "country", "region", "district", "population" etc. If you're happy to provide these, I'll certainly use it.-gadfium 05:52, 20 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Have started with the settlement template - its a bit rough at the mo, as you can see on Matakohe. There is some problem with the coordinates display - this is complex and I will leave it for tonight and get back to it. I might have to get help from someone on en. It might just be that I need to copy more templates from en that are called in the display of the coordinates. There are lots already... and I have noted what you say about powers. Yeah, seems to me you need to be able to use the extra buttons, will think on best way to proceed. Kahuroa 09:42, 20 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.-gadfium 20:47, 20 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Re the Matakohe page - I will copy across more templates as I can. Another reason for the strange display of the coordinates might be the fact that on mi there often seems to be a lag of a day or two between when a template is created and when it displays properly. Its like the server hasn't indexed it yet or something, I guess because we're normally low activity and it wouldn't matter. Kahuroa 23:38, 20 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

I have improved the settlement template, but it still isn't quite right. The problem was, I think, in Template:Coor URL. When you imported it, you moved the <noinclude> to a new line, so the line of code had an end-of-line character in it. I haven't been able to work out why the template isn't displaying the little blue globe with a link to the interactive map (or more precisely, I haven't been able to work out how the en Wikipedia does it, as there doesn't seem to be anything in the generated html), or why mi shows the position in decimal degrees as well as dms.-gadfium 05:23, 21 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

nice work, I thought it might have been something like that, which is why I did some of them again, I wasn't up to detail work last night tho, after a weekend in Rotovegas. The display is at least acceptable now! Kahuroa 05:40, 21 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Kaeo

Please check my latest expansion, at Kaeo. This is the first time I've added population figures for a town which has no census change from 2001-2006. It's also the first time I've added two schools to a single centre. To avoid calling them both "te kura o Kaeo" I translated Whangaroa College as "te kura o Whangaroa", which I presume is acceptable for any school whose name is a local placename. Would "te kārete o Whangaroa" be more suitable for a high school? My dictionary says that could be either a college or a carrot.-gadfium 05:25, 22 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

I've moved this page to Kāeo. Suggestions re names of schools. If the English name is X Primary School, then the Māori name is Te Kura Tuatahi o X . In this case there is no need to repeat the adjective tuatahi (primary) after kura in the description. If the English name is X College, then the Māori name is Te Kāreti o X (not Kārete), and you can leave tuarua after kura in the description. If the English name is X Secondary School, then the Māori name is Te Kura Tuarua o X, and you don't need to repeat tuarua (secondary) after kura in the description. Also suggest using subhead "Ko ngā kura" or if only one school you could use "Ko te kura" which is singular. The above also assumes that the school doesn't have a unique Māori name which is not just a translation of the English Kahuroa 06:44, 22 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

I've edited the no-change-in-population text to make it a clearer, I'll mark the added words here with italics: E ai ki te kautenui o te tau 2006, e 495 te taupori o te wāhi nei, ā, he rite tonu te tokomaha tāngata ki tō te tau 2001.

BTW you could make yourself a template to do this semi-automatically, and then subst it onto the pages... Kahuroa 06:57, 22 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Good point. I have a python script that I use to generate the text for the schools from "List of schools in Northland, New Zealand" and I was planning to modify it to also generate Māori when I move on from Northland to the next region. A template to generate the population paragraph would need to compare two figures and add three possible texts based on which if either was larger. I'm not all that comfortable with Wikipedia template/parser syntax (I prefer full programming languages that you can lay out on multiple lines), but this should be simple enough. I'll keep it in my user space.-gadfium 08:54, 22 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Helper templates

Script written and at User:Gadfium/census template. I couldn't get the refs to parse correctly within the template (see en:Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Templates:_concatenation_of_strings if you're interested) but can paste that in along with the template.

I might do a pair of templates for the directions too; one that is called directly with a multiple of three parameters {{User:Gadfium/directions|location|distance|direction|...}} which would output "Ko ngā wāhi e pātata ana, " and then call {{User:Gadfium/directions_helper|location|distance|direction}} as often as it has parameter groups, with a comma between each call and a full stop at the end. Directions_helper would output "ko location e distance kiromita ki te direction" with "direction" translated. There, I've just written a spec for it; that's half the work done.-gadfium 23:43, 22 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Good one. Looking good. Kahuroa 05:47, 23 Paenga-whāwhā 2008 (UTC)

Your admin status

Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.   You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on miwiki, where you are a bureaucrat and administrator. Since that wiki does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.   If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.   We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review.

Dear Kahuroa, My aplogies for writing in English. Please translate or have this translated for you if it will help. I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 Ākuhata 2014 (UTC)
