Re-translation needed

Hello linguistic friends! The Wikispecies:Administrators page has been slightly altered (i.e. added to), and needs some translation-admin attention. Thank you! –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 16:09, 3 June 2025 (UTC).[reply]

Orphaned tunit

(Nominated on behalf of @ShakespeareFan00)
Translations:Help:Name section/52/af is an Orphaned tunit and was marked with a speedy on 6 May 2025 by ShakespeareFan00. However, it wasn't appearing on the Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, and per that page I see translation pages are not eligible for that method of deletion. Posting here per the instructions stated there. Zinnober9 (talk) 23:46, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Adjusting translation boundries

copied here from User_talk:Tommy_Kronkvist#Adjusting_translation_boundries for more eyes

I have a question about the majority of remaining syntax errors here on Wikispecies in regard to how a type of page is accessed and/or how translation tag placements are adjusted. I know how to fix the errors, but not how to access them.

There's roughly 8 sets (129 cases) of (lack of a better term) "boundary issues" from the translate tags being incorrectly placed, and the span/div tags created by this being in incorrect placements/behavior. While I'm able to access the written content within each boundary through the translation editor tool, I'm not able to edit these placements on the full translation page.

Essentially there are some span tags placed in div situations and getting stripped, and some div tags placed in span situations objecting to being on a bulleted line.

When I attempted to correct a translate tag placement on the original page, it was disallowed. (I wasn't surprised given Changing the source text stated more or less that changes may not be done, but I thought it might be more a social restriction than a hard restriction (akin to the idea of "Don't edit other's userpages, but correcting broken syntax on other's userpages is conditionally permitted").

There were a few cases where I thought moving the bullets on the original would update the bullet's placements on the translation pages, but it's been a few days and no updates have occurred. I was doubtful it would, but figured it was worth checking.

Here's an example set for a better perspective of what I'm seeing and describing. Top set is the issue on the translation pages and the placement changes suggested, lower set is the correlating change to the translate tag placement on the original page.

an example set

Issue:	Bulleted div tags causing missing/stripped div errors
Translated Pages affected:	Ar, Cy, Fa, Gu, He, Id, Pl, Vi
Original placement (currently div):	* <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> '''Do not delete material from talk pages''' ** Keeping edits on talk pages is important for future reference. If a talk page grows in length and therefore becomes less legible, please [[:w:Help:Archiving a talk page\|archive]] the old material instead of deleting it. </div>
Corrected placement (change to span):	<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Do not delete material from talk pages'''</span> *<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Keeping edits on talk pages is important for future reference. If a talk page grows in length and therefore becomes less legible, please [[:w:Help:Archiving a talk page\|archive]] the old material instead of deleting it.</span>
Corresponding change on Original:	Wikispecies:Policy
Original text (T:value comments omitted):	<translate> '''Do not delete material from talk pages''' * Keeping edits on talk pages is important for future reference. If a talk page grows in length and therefore becomes less legible, please [[:w:Help:Archiving a talk page\|archive]] the old material instead of deleting it.</translate>
Corrected text (T:value comments omitted):	<translate> '''Do not delete material from talk pages'''</translate> *<translate> Keeping edits on talk pages is important for future reference. If a talk page grows in length and therefore becomes less legible, please [[:w:Help:Archiving a talk page\|archive]] the old material instead of deleting it.</translate>

I understand why these shouldn't be easy to adjust, but surely there's a way to correct them when there are issues. I haven't figured out how so far and figure someone here will likely know.
