Bod yn weinyddwr

Rwyf newydd osod neges ar y Dafarn ynglŷn â diweddaru negeseuon y rhyngwyneb. Gan mai chi yw'r unig gyfrannwr rheolaidd sydd wedi cyfrannu yma yn ystod y mis diwethaf, rwyf am fod mor hy â gofyn i chi ystyried fod yn weinyddwr yma er mwyn gallu gwneud y gwaith hwn. Rwyn gwybod fy mod yn holi peth mawr, a bod yn rhaid gwybod lle i stopio gyda'r busnes wici 'ma! Newydd weld label y botwm isod - 'Cadw tudalen' - a'r neges am y rhagolwg - 'Cofiwch rhagolwg ydi hwn, a dydi e ddim wedi cael eu chadw!'. :-( Lloffiwr 16:13, 25 Chwefror 2010 (UTC)

Shwmae Llofiwr! Diolch am y neges. Dw i hefyd wedi sylwi ar negeseuon y rhyngwyneb a dw i'n cytuno. Dw i'n cael yr argraff nad yw'r dudalen wedi cael ei diweddaru ers i'r feddalwedd gael ei throsi i'r Gymraeg ac mae 'na ddiffyg cysondeb o ran termau o'r naill dudalen i'r nesaf. Dw i hefyd yn teimlo fod llawer gormod o destun ar y Hafan a byddai ei symleiddio rhyw faint yn gwneud lles y byd.
Buaswn i'n barod i fod yn weinyddwr er mwyn gallu gwneud rhai newidiadau ond mae'n rhaid i mi gyfaddef fod y Wiciadur yn brosiect newydd i mi a dwi'n sicr ddim yn arbenigwr ar sut i ddefnyddio / fformatio'r cofnodion yn y prosiect. Dw i hefyd wedi dod yn weinyddwr ar Wiciquote yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf felly dw i ddim 100% faint o amser alla i ymroi i Wiciadur hefyd. Wedi dweud hynny, dw i'n fodlon bod yn weinyddwr er mwyn gallu gwneud rhai o'r newidiadau angenrheidiol ac unrhyw beth arall allaf i wneud pan fydd amser 'da fi. Gobeithio fod hyn o ddefnydd. Rhodri77 20:26, 25 Chwefror 2010 (UTC)

Gret! Af ati i gynnig ar y Dafarn eich bod yn cael bod yn weinyddwr yma cyn i chi gael cyfle i newid eich meddwl!!! Os ydych chi'n gweld pethau'n mynd yn drech na chi yna, yn ogystal â cymryd hoi wrth gwrs, gallech adael neges iddo fi ar Wicipedia, ac fe fentraf gymryd hoi oddi ar translatewiki.net i helpu fel defnyddiwr cyffredin.

A bwrw y byddwch yn cael rhywfaint o flas ar weithio gyda'r negeseuon, mentraf sôn am un peth. Os ydych yn gweld camgymeriad mewn neges rhagosodedig, neu bod modd gwell o fynegi'r neges,, neu eich bod angen cyfieithu rhyw neges, yna yn hytrach na newid y neges ar Wiciadur yn unig, mae croeso i chi ei newid ar translatewiki.net, fel bod y neges yn cael ei ddefnyddio ar bob wici. Ond os ydych am osgoi dysgu sut mae trin wici arall eto, yna gallech adael neges iddo fi ar translatewiki.net yn cynnig gwelliant i neges sustem ac fe af i ati.

Help

You are welcome: the Dutch wikti was like that as well for quite a while and I know it can be pretty lonely to keep at it on your own (because I was that one user). Besides, I like to pick up the odd Welsh word and bring it home too Jcwf 14:31, 5 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

Interwicket

Would you be able to give that bot a bot bit, so that it does not clutter the recent changes so much? (Of if not you who could?) Jcwf 21:54, 7 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

You're right - it's very annoying!! I'm not sure how to do it myself (as I'm not particularly technical) but I'll leave a message in the main cy Wicipedia to see if anybody else could sort it out. Pwyll 17:07, 8 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

Ystadegaeth

I had no idea if that was the appropriate term or where to put it on the porth y gymuned, please delete or change anything inappropriate!. Jcwf 18:45, 10 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

I saw it earlier - brilliant! It's good to have somebody with good technical abilities onboard. I don't suppose you'd know how to create a drop-down translation menu that could be used for words with multiple meanings? I tried earlier and failed miserably! Pwyll 19:37, 10 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

trans-top

Trans-top does not work here because it contains a number of statements (things like class="NavHead") that are not supported here. And no I do not know how to fix that but I put a request in the nl. village pump. I think Romaine of Annabel can probably fix that. I'm pretty decent in templates but there are limits... Jcwf 22:01, 10 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

Another person that could help is Alison at ga.wikt /ga.wiki. An dtuigan tu Gaeilge? ;-)

Jcwf 22:03, 10 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

Both Romaine and Annabel have reacted and Annabel offered to install the missing code in MediaWiki:Common.js en MediaWiki:Common.css. However, only sysops have access to those pages so Annabel would need temporary sysop rights or else you would have to do it. Would you contact nl:Gebruiker:Annabel?

Jcwf 23:34, 11 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

I can't grant temporary sysop rights myself but I'll leave a message in the Pub and hopefully Adam will be able to enable them to create those templates. Thanks for your help. Pwyll 08:29, 12 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

would you please:

1. Check if names like this are OK: Categori:Iaith Affricaneg
2. Check if template:=lez= is OK? (Name?)
3. Whether you like template:rhif0; we can always change the lay out. When filled out it becomes e.g. template:nlrhif
4. Fill in the missing numerals in template:cyrhif; I'd like to add them at nl as well.

Jcwf 02:37, 12 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

Hi!

1. Most of the names were fine, although I changed the Welsh name to [[Categori:Iaith Gymraeg]] as there's a mutation after a singular feminine noun (i.e. iaith). Just one question - as we have a [[Categori:Cymraeg]], [[Categori:Saesneg]], [[Categori:Iseldireg]] etc, what are the any advantages of having [[Categori:Iaith Gymraeg]], [[Categori:Iaith Saesneg]] as well?

   Ouch. To answer your question: the idea is to have a cat for all language names in a particular language. So the name should reflect the concept: "language name in Welsh" I was generating that from the {{cy}} iso-template but mutation is throwing in a monkey wrench (or is that a spanner?). I suppose we could give the iso-template a parameter "mut" or so?

2. Having checked in the most comprehensive Welsh dictionary, there isn't a translation for Lezgi. As we don't have the letter "z" yn the Welsh alphabet, when English words containing z are translated into Welsh, the letter "s" is used instead (so maybe it should be Lesgi. However, I didn't want to change it myself in case there is another name for it that I'm not aware of.

   This is an important problem at all wikti's: we are trying to describe all words of all languages in all languages, i.e. her in Welsh. However, we do not even have all names of all languages in all languages.... I think there is a real opportunity for linguistic expansion here as much for Dutch as for Welsh: we need to generate appropriate names. Of course that will not happen overnight and it also should involve the wikipedia community: if they write a lemma about e.g. Lezgi they have the same decisions to take. (Actually this is why I threw in this spanner-whatever: maybe you could get the Welsh wiki people to think about this?

3. The template:rhif0 seems fine to me and I've filled in the numerals in template:cyrhif. If there is anything else, just let me know! Diolch, Pwyll 08:24, 12 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

   I am sceptical about some of the large numbers to be quite honest, they do no make much sense, but op to a billion I imported them to my home wikti.

Mutations

I added a parameter "mut" to the {cy} nodyn.

1. The default gives Cymraeg
2. {cy|mut=soft} gives Gymraeg
3. {cy|mut=nasal} gives Nghymraeg
4. {cy|mut=aspirate} gives Chymraeg

And I freely admit that this is pure guesswork... Jcwf 18:33, 12 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

Of course if you prefer different (non-sassenach) terms, tell me which ones you'd like.

I think I did find a way to do the mutation automatically:

1. define the mutated forms for each {iso}
2. add a context label (like iaith for language name, but it could be "medical" or "archaic" or so) to the definition, using |lang=cy for Welsh |lang=nl for Dutch etc.
3. in the definition of the context label itself, add a parameter mut=soft e.g. for {iaith} being feminine.

See Ffrangeg for the result.

I must admit that my knowledge of templates, parameters and other technical terms is limited (although I am trying to learn slowly). From what I can see, everything that you've done seems correct. If I do spot a problem in future (that I haven't noticed yet) when using some of the templates, I'll let you know.

Thanks for doing the audio template too. I've uploaded some audio clips onto Commons for Welsh numbers and will try to increase these as time goes on. Pwyll 08:23, 13 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

audio files

Thank you for taking the trouble for that. I know well what a hassle that is. Actually I think your uploads are going to be deleted by the #$@#$ commons mafia. Pardon my French.

Please make sure that:

1. you fill out their bloody form inclduing the license box (It says now that there is not enough info
2. that you use Cy-un.ogg not Cy-Un.ogg
3. that you put it in the category:Welsh pronunciation

Sorry to lecture. It's a professional deformation I suppose. Jcwf 15:25, 13 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

transtop

Can you provide these translations? Defnyddiwr:Annabel/transtop

Jcwf 04:43, 16 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

I've provided the translations but I haven't transferred anything into Commons as I wasn't sure what to do. Diolch / thankyou! Pwyll 07:53, 16 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

I put in the changes

I think all you need to do now is take the contents of Defnyddiwr:Annabel/transtop/js and paste it into MediaWici:Common.js

And take the contents of Defnyddiwr:Annabel/transtop/css and paste it into MediaWici:Common.css.

After that you need to empty your browser to see the results (or restart it). Jcwf 22:57, 17 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry to be such a pain in the arse but I've copied and pasted the links and I can't seem to get the Hide and Show buttons to appear. I've refreshed it and everything. What am I doing wrong?!! (I did try warning you that I have severe special needs when it comes to technology!) Cheers. Pwyll 17:54, 18 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

I refreshed the trans-mid. The boxes are there now. But no there is no drop down.... I wonder, instead of 'adding' the css to the existing code, you replaced it by annabel's code. That was probably not the idea, but I am not so good at this either... Could you undo the changes to the css page and add the code? If that doesnt work we'll have to call in Annabel I think. Jcwf 23:13, 18 Mehefin 2010 (UTC)

question

Shwmae Pwyll :) I see g is masculine, b is feminine and d is neuter, but where is d the abbreviation for? (like g means gwrywaidd) --Ooswesthoesbes 04:18, 6 Gorffennaf 2010 (UTC)

Shwmae Ooswesthoesbes! Sorry for the delay getting back to you - been far too busy in real life! As I understand it, d stands for deuol, which means "dual" or "duality" i.e. both gwrywaidd and benywaidd. Pwyll 14:12, 8 Gorffennaf 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem, there are hardly any people so addicted to wikiing as I am I think :)

Oh, normally c (=common gender) is used for both g and b. Because in Swedish for example there is c and d. d is usually used for when it's nor g nor b. --Ooswesthoesbes 15:49, 8 Gorffennaf 2010 (UTC)

What does "Enwau priod" mean? There are lots of categories with this text. My guess is that it has something to do with countries... Malafaya 13:43, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

Problem with messages

Hi again.

I just noticed that messages MediaWici:Nextrevision and MediaWici:Previousrevision have problems. While they look good, they don't have the expected effect. Take a look at the small links on the top at http://cy.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWici:Previousrevision&oldid=2369 . Wikicode and HTML are not allowed here. < nowiki>, &rarr ; and &larr ; can't be used. You must use the symbols directly. Malafaya 14:14, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I see what you mean... but I'm not sure if I know what to do to change them. I'm absolutely useless at technical tasks but if you could tell me what needs doing (as simply as possible!!) I'm more than willing to try and change it. Pwyll 14:18, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

Just a note: if you just delete the messages, the default text from TranslateWiki.net will be used (see http://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Nextrevision/cy and http://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Previousrevision/cy ). Maybe that's the desired result... Malafaya 14:19, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm, I meant actually deleting them (not emptying), with the "delete" tab at the top, but that seems to have worked too. Malafaya 14:22, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

Ahhh right. Oops. Shall I revert the changes and then delete them? Pwyll 14:23, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

You can just simply delete. No need to revert. Malafaya 14:27, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

Categori:Rhifau prifol

These are "main numbers". But what are MAIN number? :) Cardinal numbers? Malafaya 14:32, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I understand. "Rhifau prifol" is used for "Cardinal numbers" (according to my dictionary). "Prif" means "main" or "cardinal" in Welsh. The definition of "cardinal numbers" is here [1] but maybe I've misunderstood your point completely! Pwyll 14:40, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

No, you did not. That was exactly what I meant. Thanks! :) Malafaya 14:42, 26 Awst 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Pwyll,

I just found loads of audio files with Welsh pronunciation of words in commons:Category:Welsh_pronunciation. Maybe you could make use of these (and ammend the English help page to include audio samples as well). Best, Malafaya 10:51, 27 Awst 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou for that and sorry that it's taken me so long to respond. I was aware of the cat on Commons - and even added to the category myself. I'll do more when I get the time but it's quite a time-consuming process. Cheers, Pwyll 14:12, 5 Medi 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps a template:nodef (no definition) could be useful for these pages? --Ooswesthoesbes 16:25, 4 Medi 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I've created Nodyn:dim diffiniad which can be used for the time being but if anybody else has a more creative side, feel free to change it into something prettier! Pwyll 14:10, 5 Medi 2010 (UTC)

br:beuzel

I'm intrigued by this Breton word. Apparently it means cow pat, although the French translation bouse can also mean drivel, trifle, nothing important. Funny enough nl:beuzel also used to have the meaning of something unimportant and the verb nl:beuzelen means wasting time on unimportant details. I wonder where the word came from. Does it exist in Welsh? Or is it something Romance that both br and nl have picked up or so? Jcwf 23:18, 4 Hydref 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... I'm not sure to be honest. However the Welsh word for "cowshed" is "beudy". The second syllable "dy" comes from the Welsh word for "house" tŷ, so I'm wondering now whether "beu" is an older word for "cow". I'll do some research and get back to you on this one!

Diolch!

Diolch for your welcome, unfortunately my Welsh hasn't improved yet... my deepest apologies. I wanted to let you all know that the Foundation has planned to give some grants that may prove helpful for your projects about Welsh here (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index) and is also looking for people in their Committee (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grant_Advisory_Committee). On the other hand, in the Occitan Wikipedia, we are currently trying to form a small organization in order to vertebrate the projects better even if it will be quite far from being akin to the Catalan Amical. I hope you will all form some similar structure so we can try to help small, minorized and stateless languages together! Take care! I wish you, your country and your language all the best (I also hope you will have some pronunciations and etymologies soon so I can transfer some Welsh words on the Occitan wikiccionari!).

Can I use bachigyn to indicate the diminutive form? Jcwf 23:11, 20 Medi 2011 (UTC)

Hi there,

Having checked in Geiriadur yr Academy (probably the most comprehensive English-Welsh dictionary), the Welsh noun for diminutive is "bachigyn", whereas when it's used as an adjective, it's "bachigol". Hope this helps. Pwyll 09:59, 21 Medi 2011 (UTC)

Chemical elements

Hi, Pwyll.

Do you think these edits were correct: https://cy.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Nodyn%3Aelfennau&diff=49680&oldid=49623 ? All chemical elements in Welsh are being categorized as English chemical elements. That is, the default is English instead of Welsh. Cheers, Malafaya (sgwrs) 20:37, 6 Hydref 2012 (UTC)

Good morning! I'm pretty useless with creating templates :( I tried to create one for the chemical elements but for some reason it didn't work. So I asked in the Welsh Wikipedia if anybody could fix it for me, and xxGlennxx (who's a regular contributor) did it. I'm not sure how to change the category and keep the template working... I might ask Glenn on the Welsh wiki and see what he says. Thanks for drawing my attention to it ;) Pwyll (sgwrs) 08:34, 7 Hydref 2012 (UTC)

Hi! As far as I know, it only has the one meaning i.e. "full of juice". I had a quick search online in the main English - Welsh dictionary (Geiriadur yr Academi), and it suggests that "the juicy bits of the story" be translated as "rhannau amheus y stori" (i.e. the suggestive or dodgy parts of the story).

Hope this helps. Pwyll (sgwrs) 10:31, 13 Chwefror 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Pwyll. It looks quite impressive in Welsh ;-) I'll code it up later. Jcwf (sgwrs) 16:46, 13 Chwefror 2013 (UTC)

OK, I put it in the Nodyn nl-verb and generated a few of the cats including some of the interwikis. Question though, before I generate them all: is "berfau" correct, or should it be "berfenw"? I saw you changed that for the Welsh entries and would rather do it right than having to do them all again.

Jcwf (sgwrs) 23:37, 13 Chwefror 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I know... I can't believe that I mixed up berf / berfenw for so long. I think I just started copying the "berfau" that were already here when I started editing, without actually stopping to think whether they were "Berfau" or, in fact, "Berfenwau".

Anyway, with regard to your question, "Berfau" should be correct. As I understand, "Berfenwau" (i.e. Verbnouns) are mainly a verb form in Celtic languages. In English for example, "to run" would be a verb, whereas the Welsh equivalent, "rhedeg" would be a verbnoun (berfenw). On the other hand, if you say "I ran" in English, the Welsh equivalent "Rhedais i" would be a verb (berf). I hope this makes sense and answers your question. If not, just give me a shout! ;) Pwyll (sgwrs) 10:42, 14 Chwefror 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm. Yes, it makes sense but it opens a can of worms. In Dutch verbs are listed in the dictionary by their 'indefinite mood' (infinitive), e.g. lopen. It can be used with an aux e.g. ik zal lopen to form the future tense, but it can also be used as a noun of neuter gender: het lopen. This noun used to be inflected for genitive and dative cases and though the dative died with Middle Dutch the genitive still has a modicum of productivity in expressions like tot ... toe. E.g. bloeden= to bleed Tot bloedens toe = until he bled. So in other words in a sense our infinitive is also a 'verbnoun'. We just never call is that way... This aspect of our verbs is kind of lost in the shuffle. Berfenw, huh? Im jealous.

Spambot

It seems that the spambot is hitting this site too now. It creates new 'users' typically with a name in two parts like EugeneTgms or so and then puts a nonsense story plus link on the user page. I typically first block the user permanently then delete the user page making sure I fist delete the content in the content description window. I wish someone would find a better solution for this kind of annoying attacks. Jcwf (sgwrs) 01:08, 27 Chwefror 2013 (UTC)

Articles

Hi, Pwyll. What's the category for articles (such as the, in English). Thanks, Malafaya (sgwrs) 16:40, 27 Mawrth 2013 (UTC)

euro

Hi Pwyll,

I hope 2014 finds you well. I was just looking at this entry at en.wikti, mostly to amuse myself with the variety of declensions that the (artificial) name of the currency has assumed in various languages. Language development at work! I wondered what it would be in Welsh, but my surprise it had an entry -a somewhat hilarious one I must admit- saying that euro is a Welsh verb meaning to bestow gold, whatever that means.. Could you clarify? Jcwf (sgwrs) 19:09, 19 Ionawr 2014 (UTC)

ffatri

Hi there,

is the genus of ffatri really gwrywaidd (maskulinum)? Someone from the German Wiktionary found the feminine genus (benywaidd) on a Welsh dictionary. Best regards --Yoursmile (sgwrs) 15:07, 9 Hydref 2014 (UTC)

Global account

Hi Pwyll! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, DerHexer (sgwrs) 00:57, 14 Ionawr 2015 (UTC)

Translating the interface in your language, we need your help

Hello Pwyll, thanks for working on this wiki in your language. We updated the list of priority translations and I write you to let you know. The language used by this wiki (or by you in your preferences) needs about 100 translations or less in the priority list. You're almost done!

I ychwanegu neu newid y cyfieithiad ar gyfer pob wici, defnyddiwch translatewiki.net, sef prosiect lleol MediaWiki.

Please register on translatewiki.net if you didn't yet and then help complete priority translations (make sure to select your language in the language selector). With a couple hours' work or less, you can make sure that nearly all visitors see the wiki interface fully translated. Nemo 14:06, 26 Ebrill 2015 (UTC)

Names of Wikimedia languages

Dear Pwyll,

we are initiating a long needed action - we would like to translate names of all Wikimedia languages to all Wikimedia languages in the next two months. We have noticed that you are very active on Wiktionary and that is the reason why we are taking liberty to contact you.

We hope that you would be interesting to help us in our endeavor - To make this action easier we have already prepared the list of all Wikimedia languages, and for each language we have already prepared the page with existing and missing translations. So when you go to the page for your language you would have two tasks - to check whether existing translations are OK and to fill in the missing one. The more detailed instruction are on the language page.

What are the benefits of this work?

• We believe it is about time to have all Wikimedia languages translated to all Wikimedia languages :)
• Translated languages will be parsed into Wiktionary and the resulting number of Wiktionary entries will be significant for each language. That could significantly increase the number of entries for less developed Wiktionaries, and improve the quality of entries in general.
• Wikidata - this would be great contribution to Wikidata.
• All other projects could benefit from this list (Wiki Travel :)), as we believe that certain amount of terms has to be properly translated to all languages.

We are gathered around the project Wiktionary Meets Matica Srpska and we hope that you would be interesting in working with us! If you have any questions you can ask them on the Names of Wikimedia languages discussion page or via personal emails.

Important notice: The data are licensed under CC0, as they should be incorporated into Wikidata at the end of the process.

If you don’t want to receive future announcement about the project, please leave a note on discussion page.

Thank you and looking forward to hear from you!

Your advanced permissions on cy.wiktionary

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on this wiki. Since this wiki, to the best of our knowledge, does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your advanced permissions, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. A community notice about this process has been also posted on the local Village Pump of this wiki. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at the m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights.

If you wish to resign your rights, please request removal of your rights on Meta.

If there is no response at all after one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

Yours faithfully.--علاء (sgwrs) 20:15, 7 Ionawr 2020 (UTC)
