AttributeTranslation (source) – A script that automatically adds attribution (with a dummy edit and the appropriate talk page template) to articles with non-attributed translations of other Wikipedias and notifies the translator(s). Useful when reviewing articles at New Pages Patrol.

Steps performed by the script:

  1. Adds a dummy edit to the article with an edit summary attribution
  2. Adds {{Translated page}} to the article's talk page (if needed)
  3. Notifies the translator(s) with {{uw-translation}}

Usage

[edit]
  1. On articles, there will be an additional "Translation attribution" menu option next to the regular "Move" option. In Vector skin, this is within the "More" dropdown menu.
  2. Input the two-letter language code of the original page — found in the url before wikipedia.org (e.g. zh, es, fr)
  3. Add the original page title
  4. Select if the {{Translated page}} notice should be added to the talk page. In general, it should be added if the content translated makes up a significant portion of the new article.
  5. Choose the user(s) you wish to warn with {{uw-translation}} about translating without attribution
