Translating talk:Wikia

These two messages:

• Recipes-template-user-species-label (“Species”), and
• Recipes-template-user-species-hint (“Species”),

are ambiguous and probably misleading (the English plural term "species" generally designates a set of natural species, like in Wikispecies, but I wonder if this is not instead an informal (and incorrect) abbrevation for "specialities", i.e. the topics on which a user is interested or specialized.

Really the tooltip hint (in the second message) should be more explicit with a more complete sentence.

These two are no longer used. Removed from code. The whole extension will be removed once all languages are ported to UPP V3. No date on that yet, though.

Should be Content pages or just pages to avoid Wikipedia-centrism.

Same for Awc-metrics-article-avg-size (“Avg. art.<br />size”).

In the works.

Actually, I don't think this one is a good idea. I do agree that this is Wikipedia-centrism, or rather -- Wikia-centrism, as we use the same terminology for stats.

And since this is probably only ever going to be used at Wikia, where the term is fixed and used all-over, changing this for added neutrality would be a bit of an overkill, IMHO.

Sounds sane. Feel free to use different - preferably consistent - terminology in your translations, though.

Welcome-message-user (“Hi, welcome to {{SITENAME}}! Thanks for your edit to the [[:$1]] page.
Please leave a message on [[$2|my talk page]] if I can help with anything! $3”)

Now this massage create red links, see example: http://uk.udp.wikia.com/index.php?title=Обговорення_користувача:AS&oldid=1509

User:127.0.0.1 ???

That sounds like a bug in the user that welcomes. Please use Wikia channels. There is nothing wrong with the L10n.

Do we have an explanation of the meaning of the term "answer site" in message Autocreatewiki-page-title-answers (“Create a new Answers site”) and few related ones?

These are special wikis of the type answers.wikia.com, where you ask and answer questions.

Thank you. Added it to message documentation.

Are the categries referred to in Autocreatewiki-category-label (“Category:”) and about 3 related messages, the usual categries of the wiki, having category pages, etc.? I suspect, this might be not so.

This may refer to the hub theme of a wiki (Gaming, Entertainment, Science, whatnot), but I cannot tell for sure.

In this case, "category" means a "hub", like CH suggested above, otherwise called a "vertical" – a grouping of wikis around a similar topic, e.g. Gaming, Entertainment, etc.

If $1 is a number, this message needs plural support.

Editpagelayout-notificationsLink (“<span>$1</span> {{PLURAL:$1|Notification|Notifications}}”)

Checked code. It is. Bug ticket filed.

Answers-category-count-unanswered (“This category contains $1 unanswered {{PLURAL:$1|question|questions}}.”)

Filed a bug ticket. Should be corrected soon.

What is "share" in the message group MediaWiki:wikia-adss? Almost all translators of the languages I can read understand it as the kind of shares that you purchase, when you buy youself into a public company, which are traded at stock echanges, etc.. Adss-form-banner-plan-price (“$1 for one share of the banners”) imho suggests a share of banner views in a specific position. Maybe, it is even either, depending on the individual message. We need message documentation!

This extension is no longer supported.

This message could really do with an example.

I made one up.
