Add my russian wiki: ru.scratch.wikia.com

I think an official wiki should use MediaWiki - it looks way better and it's not … “suspicious”… But as far as I know, the other wikis have also kind of started with Wikia, so maybe you can later transfer it to your own server and set up MediaWiki, when there are a few active members and stuff…

we started a discussion on the wiki at http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Scratch_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#We_have_a_new_neighbor.21

in a nutshell, LiFaytheGoblin has summed it up really well - wiki members don't like Wikia!!! The format is very sketchy and it is super hard to use (especially for people used to MediaWiki!)

Is it possible to port it into MediaWiki?

@LiFaytheGoblin how does it look “suspicious”? do you mean the ads?

I think, I must to buy hosting (I don't have a good English). If you know about some free hosting with MediaWiki — I try to move it

You actually complete their group! This is going to be great news for the Indonesian wiki.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm going to go check with everyone else in the Indonesian Wiki list. If they're all still on Scratch, I (or someone on the Indonesian list) will write an email to the DACH wiki about this.

I can't wait to see what an Indonesian Wiki would be like!

Excited,

ErnieParke

No, things aren't closed yet. I just replied to @Petablu and @Hans5958, but if one of them isn't on Scratch or can't contribute to the Indonesian Wiki, you'll need to invite one (or two) more persons.

On the other hand, it'd be nice to see how many people can help with an Indonesian Wiki. Maybe you could post in the Indonesian forum to see if anyone else could help?

Wait a minute. There is possibilities that I will also translate the Scratch Wiki to Indonesia. But just to make sure, I ask my mom if I can. Because I'm restricted to only visiting the scratch website, or else I need my mom's permission.

Go ahead and ask your mom! There's no rush to get things done. Just remember to tell us what your mom thinks so that we can start right away.

@MorningDew:
Nice! I added you to the list.

@Indonesian Wiki:
Since @Petablu is the fourth (active) editor for the Indonesian Wiki, I'm going to wait for @Petablu's mom's response before going sending the email and starting the wiki.

ErnieParke, my Filipino translation of your text. Tama ba ito mga kababayan ko (Is this correct my countrymen)?

Sa wiki (sa partikular DACH-Scratch Wiki) tayo ay interesado sa pagtatag ng mga wiki sa iba't ibang wika. Kapag ikaw ay interesado sa pagtulong sa mga pagsasalin at pagtatag ng wiki, paki-post sa ibaba sa anong mga wika ikaw ay nagsasalita at bakit gusto kang magtulong.. Ang DACH-Scratch Wiki Team ay masayang tulungin kang magsimula sa tamang paa.

Mga Kailangan:
*Dapat magsalita ng Ingles at isa pang wika (ang wika ay dapat totoo)
*Dapat kayang isalin nang mabuti sa kanyang ibang (mga) wika
Ginugustuhan:
*May karanasan sa MediaWiki (para alam mong mag-edit, pwede tayong magturo kapag kailangan)
*May maraming kaalaman tungkol sa Scratch (kaya imbis na plagiarismo (tama?) mayroon tayong orihinalidad)

@Julianthewiki:
Nice translation! I bet it's going to help Filipinos a lot with starting Filipino Wiki.

By the way, are you interested in helping translate a Filipino Wiki, and how do you say Filipino in Filipino?

@Indonesian Wiki:
I just sent the email to Martin Wollenweber. I'll post here when I get the response! I'm extremely excited for you guys.

Excited,

@Indonesian Wiki:
I got a reply back from Martin Wollenweber, and Martin had an important link that would be nice to share. It links to a discussion between @JayceeMinecraft and Martin about starting an Igbo (Nigerian) Wiki, and highlights the first steps in starting a wiki:

http://scratch-dach.info/wiki/Scratch-Wiki:Gemeinschafts-Portal#Conversation_with_JayceeMinecraft_Minecraft_about_helping_building_a_Scratch-Wiki_in_his_native_language_.22Igbo.22

So it looks like right now you'll need to start a conversation in the discussion forums (Other languages forum?) that used both Enlish and Indonesian. That would help show that you can use both languages effectively.

If you want to, maybe you could also start making mockups of wiki pages in Igbo (in your discussion?) ? There's already an English Wiki to look for examples in. I'd be willing to show you how the Wiki works as well. Now that I think of it, I know that @Rumanti has Wiki experience, but do the rest of you have any Wiki experience?

Replying,

ErnieParke

Great, I just read the discussion and I am going to evaluate them. I'd ask the others to see it, too. I need to discuss this with my team.

English and Igbo? You mean English and Indonesian? (Sorry, I'm a little confused there) Yes, I'm going to prepare the thread.

If you want to, maybe you could also start making mockups of wiki pages in Igbo (in your discussion?) ? There's already an English Wiki to look for examples in. I'd be willing to show you how the Wiki works as well.
That'd be a good practice for us. And for me too. Really, thanks so much for your help! I can't wait to know how it will go.
