Transition issues (EN)
I don’t speak Turkish so I will use English (and myself I am Russian). Don’t be offended.
The transition of Turkish translation project to a separate wiki was managed badly. First of all, the articles didn’t get their correct names. For example, the article about Stone (Taş in Turkish) is still named Stone/tr, but should be Taş. Part of the problem originated in the English wiki when a normal translation linking system like on the FTB Wiki hasn’t been created. This also applies to templates. Second, that specific article about Stone still contains some English text (together with translated content), and I suspect many other articles have the same problem. Third, the links to project’s central pages like rules and guidelines, administrator’s noticeboard, projects and important articles weren’t translated, and some of the pages themselves (and the Community portal too) hasn’t been even created in the first place. How are you going to coordinate the project’s work without them?
That being said, I support appointing LambayaFunfDe, who was active in the Turkish translation project earlier, as an administrator. LambayaFunfDe, I hope you can do everything to make the Turkish wiki actually a wiki that satisfies the requirements of being a source of information about Minecraft in its language.

- If you want to discuss stuff with me in real time I am available on IRC: #NickTheRed37 (personal channel) and #ruminecraftwiki (channel of Russian Minecraft Wiki). As an experienced member of Minecraft Wiki, I may give hints and guidelines regarding wiki management. You can also contact me by email. I would be glad to help this project. — NickTheRed37 (mesaj | RU) 08:14, 18 Temmuz 2017 (UTC)
- LambayaFunfDe is already appointed as an administrator and will get according rights here as soon as they log in for the first time. | violine1101 (mesaj) 20:28, 18 Temmuz 2017 (UTC)
- I am working on a draft for the wiki rules. Kullanıcı:NickTheRed37/Turkish Wiki Rules. Unlike other sections, this draft is going to be based on the larger and broader Russian wiki rules, not English ones. Because I don’t speak Turkish language, any help with translation is welcome. — NickTheRed37 (mesaj | RU) 09:04, 19 Temmuz 2017 (UTC)
- I probably wouldn't worry too much about establishing wiki rules at the moment, there's not really anyone to enforce rules on, and most rules are obvious and universal anyway. I'd proposal that the potential Turks should establish their own rules as they see fit. -Xbony2 (mesaj) 12:31, 19 Temmuz 2017 (UTC)
- I agree. You should not set rules for a community you're not part of. You can help with setting the wiki up, if you want to, of course. | violine1101 (mesaj) 18:03, 19 Temmuz 2017 (UTC)
