AttributeTranslation (source) – A script that automatically adds attribution (with a dummy edit and the appropriate talk page template) to articles with unattributed translations of other Wikipedias and notifies the translator(s). Useful when reviewing articles at New Pages Patrol.

Steps performed by the script:

  1. Adds a dummy edit to the article with an edit summary attribution
  2. Adds {{translated page}} to the article's talk page (if needed)
  3. Notifies the translator(s) with {{uw-translation}}

Installation

Automatic

  • Step 1: Check the checkbox at Preferences → Gadgets → Advanced → Tick Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation) and click Save.
  • Step 2: Click the big blue "Install" button in the infobox on the right of this page.

Manual

{{subst:iusc|User:CFA/scripts/attributetranslation.js}}

Usage

  1. On articles, there will be an additional "Translation attribution" menu option next to the regular "Move" option. In Vector skin, this is within the "More" dropdown menu.
  2. Input the two-letter language code of the original page — found in the url before wikipedia.org (e.g. zh, es, fr)
  3. Add the original page title
  4. Select if the {{Translated page}} notice should be added to the talk page. In general, it should be added if the content translated makes up a significant portion of the new article.
  5. Choose the user(s) you wish to warn with {{uw-translation}} about translating without attribution

Please let me know if you find any issues on the script's talk page.
