Welcome! Before you get started I must instruct you in the way that this wiki works. First, please read either (or both) of the following: | |||
* [[:en:S:WELCOME|The English wiki Welcome tutorial]] - much more beginner-friendly, gets you started with wikitext syntax, has stuff specifically related to the Scratch Wikis. '''(Recommended if you can read this sentence without Google Translate)''' | |||
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents|MediaWiki help pages]] - translated into many languages, probably including yours, and describes how wikis work in general. '''(Recommended if you need something in your own language)''' | |||
Next, heed the following instructions: | |||
Your focus for now will be ''translating pages from English to Greek''. (I will create the Greek namespace in a few minutes.) You should not worry about creating any pages specific to the Greek wiki yet; instead, focus on translating. | |||
<br/>When creating a page to be translated, you must follow the steps below. Let's say you want to translate the page [[Eng:Blocks]]. According to Google Translate, "blocks" in Greek is "μπλοκ". | |||
# Create the page [[Ell:Μπλοκ]]. | |||
#* The contents of the page must be ''copied from the Eng: page''. | |||
#* Make sure that the page has <code><nowiki>{{:Eng:Blocks/translate}}</nowiki></code> at the top. | |||
# Edit the page [[Eng:Blocks/translate]] | |||
#* If there is already a line that looks like <code>|Ell=</code>, change it to <code>|Ell=Μπλοκ</code> | |||
#* If not, add the line <code>|Ell=Μπλοκ</code> just ''before'' the line that looks like <code>}}</code> | |||
# Start translating any English text into Greek. | |||
#* When linking to other pages, always link with <code>Ell:</code> before the page name | |||
#* When using translated templates, always transclude with <code>Ell/</code> before the template name | |||
#* When categorizing pages, always categorize with <code>Ell/</code> before the category name | |||
While you are doing all this, start looking on Scratch for more people to help you - editing a wiki is not a one-man job, let alone starting a new language wiki! | |||
Good luck editing!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 23:58, 23 December 2022 (UTC) |

Your focus for now will be translating pages from English to Greek. (I will create the Greek namespace in a few minutes.) You should not worry about creating any pages specific to the Greek wiki yet; instead, focus on translating.
When creating a page to be translated, you must follow the steps below. Let's say you want to translate the page Eng:Blocks. According to Google Translate, "blocks" in Greek is "μπλοκ".
- Create the page Ell:Μπλοκ.
- The contents of the page must be copied from the Eng: page.
- Make sure that the page has
{{:Eng:Blocks/translate}}
at the top.
- Edit the page Eng:Blocks/translate
- If there is already a line that looks like
|Ell=
, change it to|Ell=Μπλοκ
- If not, add the line
|Ell=Μπλοκ
just before the line that looks like}}
- If there is already a line that looks like
- Start translating any English text into Greek.
- When linking to other pages, always link with
