Work queues

We have a couple of rudimentary ones:

• Category:Priority translation with accompanying {{Priority translation}}, aliases pt and PT
• Category:Stub {{Stub}} (I recently went through this, that's why it's empty)
• Category:Under construction {{Under construction}}, alias WIP
• Category:Outdated {{Outdated}}

However, I'd love to see/make/maintain another one for specifically updating translation tags, since translation is both one of the easiest ways to get started, but the easiest to "mess up" and overwrite (plus there are many pages in English that are updated for the latest version of VS, but have not been re-marked for translation, meaning their translated pages may be months or years out of date).

Anyone got more? -- Veerserif (talk here or on Discord) 16:12, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Extension wishlist

If we are going to keep using the Translate extension, maybe getting Extension:TranslationNotifications will help us retain volunteer translators? -- Veerserif (talk here or on Discord) 16:59, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

I can see it being eventually useful, and probably good to have for the time being - but seeing as most translations are barely even started, it might not get much use for now? Sana (talk) 02:10, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

New permissions hierarchy

Right now, anyone with edit permissions has a lot of edit permissions, including default access to the Template namespace, translation administration etc. I would like to ask for:

• A second "tier" of user, maybe trusteduser or something like that, granted on request via Discord or similar
• Page protection on the whole Template namespace (and maybe even translation administration, though that would significantly slow the work of translation markup), requiring a "trusted user" userright to edit

Although we haven't really had issues with vandalism, I have definitely seen issues arising from enthusiastic application of translation tags breaking templates - see the version history of {{Breaking}} for one example. -- Veerserif (talk here or on Discord) 16:59, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

To add to this, I've looked through our current user groups, and I'm noticing a few of issues.

• For one, Confirmedusers and editor seem to both have the exact same rights, so getting rid of one would clean things up a bit.
• Second, it looks like all users can translate pages as well as review them, which might not be preferable.
