Referencing on the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia

Thanks for this tool and we the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikimedians Community appreciate the efforts made.

I tried translating on my mobile device and found it simple and interesting. I also shared it on our WhatsApp platform and editors of Ghanaian Pidgin are very excited about this tool.

One thing I realized was, initially, when translating using the Content translation tool, references appear in 'errors (web, journals etc.)' if it is copied directly from English Wikipedia so I omitted the references thinking it will appear same on the Section translation tool. But I skipped a reference and saw that it appeared as it appears on the English Wikipedia after I published. I tried going back to insert the references I omitted but couldn't. Is there a way we can go back to already published sections to make that correction? Thanks

Hello, as far as I have experienced, you will go back to Content translation tool, and you need to overwrite the published page with the revised output when you inish mending the reference there in.

  • Be minded the system sometimes warns you that original English page having been updated, and you still can work on the version you applied, as long as you do not choose to work from the scratch.

1) Do you find the page that you have worked on, when you return to Content translation tool? Find three boxes at top-left, which are: Suggestions / In progress / Published.

2) When pressing the Published button, do you find the page you have "finished" and published?

3) Can you re-open "finished" one you wish to mend the reference from the list?

Hello, and good luck to you. Also, kindly be reminded that those three boxes are at the top-right: Suggestions / In progress / Published. Sorry for the mix-up.
