Ads acceptable
Is the ads you put on your page acceptable. Tbiw (talk) 18:38, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Tbiw: What ads are you talking about? --Meno25 (talk) 18:40, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
The wikipedia ads on your page. Tbiw (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Tbiw: Yes, of course. They are from {{Wikipedia ads}}. (See the full list of ads.) I thought you meant ads to external sites (which is not allowed of course). The word ads in "Wikipedia ads" is not very accurate. It should have been named "Wikipedia tips" or something similar. Best wishes. --Meno25 (talk) 18:46, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Okay. I also like it. Thanks Tbiw (talk) 20:10, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Improved translation on MediaWiki at Manual:Installation_guide
Dear Meno25,
I have finished translating the page Manual:Installation_guide at MediaWiki wiki. Since there are several technical terms and software names, it would be helpful to look at it and update any thing required. --HaythamAbulela 13:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
