Lightning talks
Hi folks, the upcoming deadline for lighting talks is 31 May. We're after 5-minute pre-recorded videos with news from the project, or what you've been up to. We'll be showcasing the videos on the first day of the conference. You can record the video yourself and send it to the organisers, or I'd be happy to have a Zoom call and record it for you. Feel free to get in touch via [email protected]. Richard Nevell (keskows) 16:56, 27 Me 2022 (UTC)
Automatic generate population
The following code can be placed on any location article without change, and will generate the most recent census result with sources:
{{WD Population}}
Just copy and paste! See Kardydh for example. You can redirect the template to another, better, kw name, of course. PS It's outlawed from en-wiki, so it must be good! Mwynhewch! Llywelyn2000 (keskows) 10:55, 26 Me 2022 (UTC)
- Ardderchog, diolch! That looks incredibly useful. Meur ras! Gwikor Frank (keskows) 12:02, 26 Me 2022 (UTC)
- Meur ras. Fest dhe les. Very useful and I'm sure I'll be using it a lot. Brwynog (keskows) 12:24, 26 Me 2022 (UTC)
A small present for you!
Mat an traoù ganit?
Dw i wedi creu templad bach i chi adio i erthyglau ar lefydd ee trefi, gwledydd. Jyst rhowch o yn lle'r boblogaeth. Gweler: Kardydh.
I've created a small template you can add on places such as towns, cities or even countries. Just add it and it will generate the most recent population and a citation. You could rename into Brezoneg.
{{WD Population}}
Mwynhewch! Dim rhaid diweddaru! Enjoy! You will never need to update!
Cofion cynnes a devezh vat dit!

Polici dilea
In English for clarity at all levels: I'm finally getting to circling back to some of the policy stuff we very briefly discussed here. One of them was a deletion policy. So, let's discuss that?
My own opinions are, essentially, that correction/improvement is preferable in almost all cases to deletion. We're not a big enough Wiki to delete short, poor or niche articles and I think that doing so would run counter to what I am always telling new/prospective editors: your Cornish IS good enough and anything is something.
I think that deletion should be reserved for:
- Pages in the wrong language
- Exceptionally short articles (one sentence or less) on extremely niche topics
As an example of the latter, this. I didn't delete it in the end, I improved it slightly to this. I do still think this is an article that could be deleted.
Perhaps someone would want to improve things like this, though? I do think that there should be some kind of grace period for articles like this where we try to find someone who is up for the task of adding a couple of sentences to the article and it is perhaps only deleted if this can't be done.
Anyway, I know this was something we wanted to discuss, so please let me know your thoughts. --Gwikor Frank (keskows) 14:24, 28 Me 2022 (UTC)
- Bendigedig! That's more or less what we do on cy-Weiki too, Gwikor! A period of grace, a second chance for them or others to improve the article. We have a small banner which we put on the article using the word {{Gwella}} which suggests that that the article should be improved otherwise it could be taken down. We wait a few weeks (I think there's a back-log of a few months actually!) then we delete. We have a two paragraph minimum too. We also delete crap which is obviously done by Google Translate, or as vandalism, immediately. At the end of the day, you as a Wiki can create any rules you like, so don't listen to me! If you need help with banners etc let me know. Llywelyn2000 (keskows) 15:33, 30 Me 2022 (UTC)
- Eus lies erthygel niche a'n par na? Res yw bos an niver anedha mar vyghan may hyllyn aga gwellhe pan wrellons apperya yn le aga dilea! --Lader Gwiader (keskows) 00:00, 31 Me 2022 (UTC)

Zoom session for all Celtic language Wikipedia editors!
Hirneth heb dha weles!
Sorry this message is in English! User:Brwynog (Cornish Wikipedia) and myself are organising a Zoom meeting on Tuesday 7th June at 7.00, and all regular editors at all Celtic language Wikipedias (WPs) are invited. We will be discussing ideas on putting together an Editathon which will be held in September. If you want to join us you will need to email me to get the link.
- What's an editathon?
The Cornish and Welsh editors held an editathon together with the Palestinian editors a few months ago. This is what we did at that time.
- How to wiki-email?
My email is turned on. If yours is, then all you need to do is go to my user page. Then go to the menu bar on the left, just under the WP logo, down to Tools, then find Email this user. Just let me know you need that you want the Zoom link.
- No email?
To turn on your email, go to your preference (Top) to the right of your User name. In preferences, the fist tab is 'User profile': go down to email and add your email. Simply done!
- Last resort
Just email me at wicipediacymraeg @ gmail.com (remove the white space)
I look forward to seeing you at this really important meeting! Bring a smile! Yeghes da a lowena dhywgh!
Robin aka... Llywelyn2000 (keskows) 15:22, 30 Me 2022 (UTC)
- Dydh da!
- Just a reminder to those who have not registered, please do so! !5 editors have asked for a link, so if they all turn up, it could be the beginning of something really good. Just wiki-email me and I'll send you the link! Hwyl! Dha weles! Llywelyn2000 (keskows) 12:29, 6 Metheven 2022 (UTC)

Hafan / Main page
@Gwikor Frank: asks for help on my cywiki talk page regarding Erthyglow chonsus. Diolch i ti Gwikor ! The skantlyn in question is Skantlyn:Erthyglow chonsus, but the code is in Skantlyn:Erthyglow chonsus/Koden which calls up a number of individual tit-bits eg Skantlyn:Erthyglow chonsus/A/1. @Lader Gwiader: I'll take a look at this in a minute, but I've never tried to do this in the past. I have however added 'Ar y dydd hwn... / 'On this day...' which feeds the info alive + relevant to each day. We have Darvosow y'n mis ma so adding a monthly, automated short list could be done quickly. The next stage would be getting one or two bits of information for each day, for (let's say) the next two months. It would be a long term project so that at least 1 new 'On this day...' would appear every day of the year. On the cywiki we try and get half relevant to Cymru, and the rest are international. Let me know if you're interested and we'll make a draft / spoof front page to test. There is also an 'Image a day' on Commons, which can be translated there, and fed into kw-wiki automatically. They're really great images and bring loads of colour. Maybe we should get it on cywiki too, one day! Llywelyn2000 (keskows) 13:04, 16 Metheven 2022 (UTC)
- Dw i wedi chwilio am y sgript a fewnforiwyd heb lwc! Sorry, I can't find anything about getting an automated, random feed into a page; we can easily generate a button for the user to click, but that's no good here! Ymddiheuriadau! Bt I do think 'On this day...' would bring it alive, should you neeed it. Llywelyn2000 (keskows) 14:53, 16 Metheven 2022 (UTC)
- Just made a spoof for your Yey" or Ney"! The important bit is {{Darvosow y'n mis ma/{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}}} which has two elements: a Skantlyn and changing {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}, which together call up the relevant monthly info. If you do go ahead, then other months need to be created; we already have around six. @Lader Gwiader: seems to be doing great work with templates; it would be good to have his / her take on developing this home page further.
