MediaWiki talk:Abusefilter-warning-gallery

Rewrite to reduce erroneous reports

{{Edit request}} One of the most common reasons users trigger this filter is that they think they're on Wikipedia. This is evidenced by the details in the logs and mistaken error reports at Commons talk:Abuse filter. To clear up such misunderstandings, I think we should directly spell out the fact that this is not Wikipedia. The message could also be a bit friendlier. Suggested wording:

Oops! This doesn't look like a gallery. Your attempt to create a page in the main namespace of Wikimedia Commons was automatically prevented. This usually happens for one of the following reasons: You tried to create a Wikipedia article – but this is not Wikipedia. The website you are on right now, Wikimedia Commons, is a media repository used by Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, and others. Unlike on Wikipedia, pages in the main namespace here are not articles. Instead, they are galleries that showcase media files. To get to Wikipedia, visit wikipedia.org. The English Wikipedia project has information about how to create your first article. You tried to create a gallery but used the wrong format. If you are trying to create a page showcasing media files, you should include gallery tags, media files and categories, as explained in the gallery guidelines. You just wanted to experiment a little. That's okay. You can do that in the sandbox. If you have any questions, please visit the help desk. In case you were actually making an acceptable contribution, please report this error here. Thank you.

Does it make sence if I suggest to add a translation in Russian for this window? Is there a place where the translation could be placed? — Pacha Tchernof (talk) 12:51, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

@Pacha Tchernof You can suggest a translation; it would be placed to MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-gallery/ru (currently this message only has a German translation). 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 23:28, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
