Welcome to the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia!

Hi DaSupremo, and also ping @Yaw tuba, @Gyanford, @Feliciopedro2, @Sunkanmi12, @NanaKojo16, @NanaYawBotar, @Afimaame, @Elkay20 and @Ibn Dagara.

Welcome to the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia! You and all your co-contributors have done a great job so far in getting here, and I would like to congratulate you on finally having the newest official Wikipedia edition! Well done to all of you!

For previous wikis, there have usually been some technical issues that take some time to fix, but for the first time in many years, I think all of the normal technical issues have actually already bene solved now, less than one day after the Wikipedia was created. Visual editor works like it should, the same with the DiscussionTools, Wikidata support has been enabled, and the statistics in Special:Statistics look correct.

But still, if you notice any issues, or if there are things you want to do but aren't able to for some reason, please feel free to reach out to me, and I can help figure out how to solve them.

Best of luck to all of you with your new Wikipedia, and happy editing! 🎉 Jon Harald Søby (talk) 01:07, 6 July 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Modifications to the home page

Hello dear DaSupremo I've made a slight modification to the homepage, by adding the number of existing articles. And I designed and programmed a new template for the introduction of the home page. I hope you see it:User:Osps7/Test

With regards--Osps7 (talk) 18:26, 19 August 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Wow...thanks for that. Osps7 (talk) It will help us track and remove vandalism on articles. Really grateful DaSupremo (talk) 21:38, 19 August 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Important inquiry

Dear DaSupremo, I am trying to work on developing the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia by adding new tools and improving the work of the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia by adding software tools that contribute to increasing effectiveness and contribute to protecting the encyclopedia from vandalism. I'm trying to work on an add-on (MediaWiki:Gadget-autocomplete.js) But I need permissions, how can I request permissions?

With regards--Osps7 (talk) 11:42, 20 August 2023 (GMT)[reply]

I think you can propose it on Phabricator and start working on it. DaSupremo (talk) 12:36, 20 August 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Suggestions

First off, congratulations on leading the creation of and becoming admin of this Wikipedia, which is still the newest AFAIK. Hope that this project continues to grow and thrive. Onto the suggestions: with regards to the references, I think if you used your admin permissions to import the CS1 citation templates from enwiki it would also take care of the dependent modules. Or maybe someone from the community should file a request on MetaWiki. Documentation templates would also be handy I also think it might be a good idea to add a system or template for handling linguistic issues: for instance, I've already seen a page copied from enwiki with no effort made to translate it (although I can't find the specific page right now). Thanks! MSG17 (talk) 15:43, 24 August 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Thanks for the good wishes. I would really need help cos I am not conversant with the templates. I will ask a couple of guys around. Thanks again DaSupremo (talk) 16:34, 24 August 2023 (GMT)[reply]

suggestion

Dear DaSupremo, What do you think of the idea of adding a new section to the home page called “In the News” and updating it continuously?--Osps7 (talk) 12:00, 10 September 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Sounds good. A very good idea DaSupremo (talk) 12:07, 10 September 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Note

Dear @DaSupremo, I hope you are well. Over the past few days, I have developed a bot that I will activate here soon. It will create categories and templates that will help us. Osps7 (talk) 22:03, 3 November 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Hello Osps7 (talk), I am good and you? Noted and thanks for the continuous support. We really appreciate it. DaSupremo (talk) 22:21, 3 November 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Translation

Hi, could you please translate this to Ghanaian Pidgin?

Guosa is a constructed interlanguage originally created by Alex Igbineweka in 1965. It was designed to be a combination of the indigenous languages of Nigeria and to serve as a lingua franca to West Africa.

It has the following characteristics:

It is an isolating language with subject–verb–object word order.
There are no articles.
There is no grammatical gender or noun class system.
Most grammatical meaning is expressed through particles that precede the words they modify.
Adjectives follow the noun.
Guosa is generally prepositional.

Thank you. --Caro de Segeda (talk) 07:12, 16 November 2023 (GMT)[reply]

Importing citation templates

Was looking at importing cite journal, cite book, and cite web. Best way to do this would be to use this tool and select "Include all templates and transcluded pages" https://gpe.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Import

Would be happy to but only certain user groups have permission to use the tool. Best Doc James (talk) 12:30, 26 October 2024 (GMT)[reply]

By the way hope to see you do more healthcare translations. Once we get the templates imported things will come through better. Best Doc James (talk) 12:44, 26 October 2024 (GMT)[reply]

Thanks Doc James (talk) for this information. It is valuable for us. I have checked it out and I realized it is a good tool. DaSupremo (talk) 14:05, 26 October 2024 (GMT)[reply]

Are you able to make me a member of one of these groups "Administrators or Importers" so that I can help. Looking at "Template:Cite book" and not sure it worked properly. Doc James (talk) 23:17, 26 October 2024 (GMT)[reply]

No please. But I think you can request for a temporal admin here to enable you carry that task. DaSupremo (talk) 11:05, 27 October 2024 (GMT)[reply]

delete

Can you please delete Talk:Audrey Sitsofe Gadzekpo and Talk:Joseph Kwame Kumah? they are orphaned. Best regards, TenWhile6 (talk) 17:01, 14 November 2024 (GMT)[reply]

Request for help

Hello @DaSupremo,

My name is Uzoma, I am the Movement Communications Specialist supporting the Wikimedia Language and Product Localization team. I am reaching out because you indicated interest in participating in the Translation suggestions: Topic-based & Community-defined lists project.

We now have the Community-defined list feature in the Content translation tool. We want to approach organisers of Wiki campaigns that involve translation happening now or soon to add the collection tags to their article list. So that people who use the Content translation tool can discover these campaigns and participate directly from the moment they access the tool using their mobile device. The campaign suggestions will be in the "All Collection" category of the Translation suggestion feature in the tool, as illustrated in the GIF below.

Our request

Please help us by providing a list of the campaigns happening in your community and the organisers we can approach to add the tag. This is important to us because we need to learn from its usage for campaigns.

I would appreciate your help connecting me to the campaigns you are preparing for in your community.

I look forward to your response, and please let me know if you need any clarification. Thank you so much!
