Hi Kambai. I've added translation markup, and made some fixes. (With this, my volunteer account. :)

Per my edit summary, I made a few changes including:

  • Improve accessibility with proper numbered lists;
  • Fix links to be mobile-agnostic;
  • Rewrite "click here" to avoid w:mystery meat navigation

I've also tried to wrap various "chunks" of content in their own separate <translate> tags, so that it is easier for you/anyone to update any of them, without invalidating entire paragraphs/lists. -- I.e. I didn't wrap all of the bulletpoints within the "Property dashboard" section in just a single <translate> group, in case you decide to either change the wording in one of the sentences, or re-arrange them, or similar. If they were all grouped as just one "chunk", that would mean any translations for the entire chunk would need to be updated, each time.

It should be good to go. :)


NOTE: There is currently an occasional technical bug with the Translation system (phab:T320220). The bug is when we click on "Translate this page", it sometimes either:

  • sends us to the wrong page (It sends us to the translations for "Message group · All · Recent additions", instead of the page we wanted.)
  • or it shows the message "Invalid value for parameter mcgroup"

This can usually be fixed by either just waiting a while, or by "purging the cache", i.e. add ?action=purge to the URL of the page you are viewing. E.g. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tenth_Birthday/Tyap_Wikimedians_User_Group_Celebrates_Wikidata's_10th_Birthday?action=purge (then click "Ok"), and then click "Translate this page" again.

Hope that helps.

How do I thank you enough? Surely, this would help unimaginably. I indeed appreciate this a million times over. Warmest regard.
