UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/English Administration

Discussy belowy. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 21:12, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I can certainly get behind something like this. With very few exceptions, everything else in UD is in English, so it should only follow that anything related to Administrative purposes on the wiki be conducted in English. While I certainly have nothing against people using other languages on the wiki, using them on Admin pages (like the example) just obfuscates the point and leads to confusion and inside jokes where they are not needed. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 21:20, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Completely agree. It's fine elsewhere on the wiki, but on the Admin pages, it's either there to be funny or annoying. In either case, it creates unnecessary work for other people since they have to go look up translations and deal with the inaccuracies therein. Plus, some of the non-English stuff posted was done by people using online translators, so even if the users of the Admin pages did speak that language, it might be nonsense anyway.

The only way I could see this harming anyone is if we ended up with someone completely incapable of speaking in English on the wiki who needed to talk on the Admin pages, which would be kinda odd, given that the game and the wiki are both entirely/primarily conducted in English. —Aichon— 21:42, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I concur.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 22:01, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

You could use an online translator, you silly folks. D: --Janus ^talk 22:30, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
