Infobox image syntax

Is there an Japanese Wikipedia equivalent to English Wikipedia's en:WP:THUMBSIZE or en:WP:IBI page? On English Wikipedia it's pretty much common practice not to use the thumbnail syntax for infobox images because the most infobox templates and the Wikipedia software will automatically format the size of the infobox image based upon the device the reader is using. In addition, it also makes it easier for screen reader to "read" to infobox image's caption when the caption parameter is used because a thumbnail image typically requires an "alt_text" parameter be provided for thumbnail images whereas the infobox caption parameter doesn't and can be read by screen readers. Maybe the software and templates used for Japanese Wikipedia work differently, however, based upon this post here. Anyway, just curious for my own benefit. -- Marchjuly（会話） 2019年11月19日 (火) 14:27 (UTC)

The relevant policy for the Japanese version of Wikipedia is as shown on this page. Thank you for your comment. --217.12.209.197 2021年4月8日 (木) 15:22 (UTC)

Reopening - this does not answer Marchjuly's question. ネイ（会話） 2021年4月9日 (金) 11:21 (UTC)

The example inside help also suggests the use of “thumbnail”.--石添 小草（会話） 2022年5月18日 (水) 23:45 (UTC)

I would recommend setting the image size like "image=[[Image:Something.svg|200px]]" and "caption = whatever". In Japanese Wikipedia, setting the image size yourself is pretty common.--YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年4月6日 (水) 13:53 (UTC)

Korean version of airline accident report from Japanese government agency?

I notice page 44 (PDF p. 25) of this page on the MLIT website states "Distribution of Korean version of HL7762 HIJ accident investigation report to flight crew"

Where is this Korean version of the report located, and how do I obtain it? I only see English and Japanese listed on the English MLIT accident report list page.

It would be good for the Korean Wikipedia article ko:아시아나항공 162편 착륙 사고 WhisperToMe（会話） 2020年6月9日 (火) 20:16 (UTC)

Regarding your question, I also searched for it, but unfortunately I could not find the Korean version. Korean version may not be published on the internet. Thank you for your comment. --217.12.209.197 2021年4月8日 (木) 15:22 (UTC)

The question is not resolved; although @WhisperToMe: you might be better off asking this on Korean Wikipedia. This probably requires a search using Korean keywords, not in Japanese. ネイ（会話） 2021年4月9日 (金) 11:21 (UTC)

Cross wiki spam abuses by sockpuppets

Hello. I'd like to let you know that several pages on ja.wikipedia are the target of sockpuppets bannished on fr.wikipedia for spam and insertion of false materials (texts and legend of images). The sockpuppets are listed on meta.

• For instance, I noticed that user:Do ob removed doubtful informations from 宮本武蔵, [1] but one of the sockpuppets put it back again [2].
• I removed other false material about グルエーズ (ローヌ県) that I know to be wrong, (for instance on 大原町 (岡山県) but may be you should have a look on others contributions
• Initially, the spam was to advertize a stone near by their french Dojo, 兵法二天一流メモリアル. This page was deleted on french and english wikipedia.
• On french wikipedia, we also blocked User:バラ属 : he is not on the list, as we could not make a check user (too old).

Kind regards. --Pa2chant.bis（会話） 2021年4月20日 (火) 05:55 (UTC)

Discussion tools update

Hello, all. I have good news about the mw:Talk pages project.  あなたの言語への翻訳をお助けください.

• We have finally scheduled the deployment of mw:Talk pages project/Replying, which puts the [返信] button on talk pages.  Thank you again for being part of the test that showed the tool was successful.  When this change happens, everyone will have the Reply tool turned on.  You will be able to turn it off in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.  You can read more about it at mw:Help:DiscussionTools.

• If you have enabled "議論ツール" in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures, you will get a new feature.  The new feature adds a [更新を通知] button to each ==Level 2 section== on a talk page.  If you subscribe to the section, then you will get Special:Notifications if someone adds a new comment to that section (but not if they fix typos or edit other parts of the page).  This can be very helpful on busy pages, especially if you only want to follow one conversations.  Please try it out and share your thoughts at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

These changes are currently scheduled for Wednesday, 25 August, probably around 23:00 UTC.  Please let me know if you have any questions.--Whatamidoing (WMF)（会話） 2021年8月20日 (金) 17:17 (UTC)

The mw:Talk pages project/Replying deployment has been delayed. It should happen next week instead. I apologize for the delay. The subscriptions part is already available in Beta Features.--Whatamidoing (WMF)（会話） 2021年8月27日 (金) 17:10 (UTC)

Prince Fumihito

Hello. I hope everyone's doing well. I would have posted this message on the article's talk page, but I needed a response in English so I ended up here. I just needed the help of some native Japanese speakers who could help with the concerns that some users and I have had on the English Wikipedia regarding Prince Fumihito's title. We know that he was elevated to the rank of "Crown Prince" (皇嗣, Kōshi) in the past months, and he has been referred to as Crown Prince Akishino (秋篠宮皇嗣殿下) on the Imperial Household Agency website. But what caught my eye was that the Japanese article is still at 秋篠宮文仁親王 (Akishinonomiya Fumihito shinnō; 'Fumihito, Prince Akishino'). I wonder if there is a specific reason that Japanese users here have refrained from adding 皇嗣 to his page's title. Is there a rationale behind it that we might not be aware of? I'd be glad if someone could enlighten me a little bit. Thank you.--Keivan.f（会話） 2021年11月2日 (火) 06:22 (UTC)

I forwarded your question in Japanese at the note page of 秋篠宮文仁親王. People in the note page said they decided not to change the title, but no one mentioned the reason. While I familiar with the word 親王 and 殿下, I have never heard 皇嗣 before. I think other people does the same.--Uiweo（会話） 2022年1月3日 (月) 05:05 (UTC)

It's been a couple of weeks and no response in the note page. I don't think we can expect to get an answer from someone. As an ordinal Japanese guy, who is not a professional on emperor family, I would say that 皇嗣 is not a title. 皇太子 or 親王 is definitely a title. Historically oldest son of current emperor is the next emperor. The son is called 皇太子 (Koh Tai Shi). 皇嗣 means a successor of Japanese emperor but not necessarily be a son of current emperor. While some past emperors, who had no son, assigned 皇嗣 from relatives, there was no clear rule on 皇嗣 until 1889 (Meiji 22, 明治22年), when we learned succession order system in British royal family. This makes us some confusion if 皇嗣 can be a title or not, and some may oppose to use it as a title. Even I hesitate it.--Uiweo（会話） 2022年1月16日 (日) 06:15 (UTC)

Reflist

Hello everyone, I am a Vietnamese Wikipedia user, I am planning to translate VTuber's articles from Japanese Wikipedia to Vietnamese Wikipedia. I see some articles in here have refs for too long, I changed to {{reflist|30em}} but I don't see any difference, can you explain it to me? Thank you. CrossEF（会話） 2021年12月2日 (木) 00:09 (UTC)

Hmm...I don't know why you continue to use {{reflist|2}} instead of {{reflist|30em}}. CrossEF（会話） 2021年12月2日 (木) 02:20 (UTC)

It depends on your environment, but in general, {{reflist|2}} will automatically display one or two column(s) depending on your browser's display width.--Lmkjgmo（会話） 2021年12月3日 (金) 00:07 (UTC)

請求翻譯英文條目

@Unite together Translation of this request.
If possible, could anyone help us to translate en:Domain fronting from English Wikipedia? There were more than 215000 results from google search of this topic, while this content also existed on several versions of Wikipedia, so it may be worth translating to Japanese.

Japanese Wikipedia's policy on vandals and LTA's

Hello! I've come here to ask if Japanese Wikipedia has an equivalent to enWiki's en:WP:DENY policy. I would like to request assistance in improving the page of a Japanese LTA's page on enWiki, however I would like to not violate any policies on either Wiki. The current status of the page on enWiki appears to be a rough and incomplete translation of Japanese Wikipedia's LTA page on them. Thanks! Blaze Wolf（会話） 2022年3月9日 (水) 22:26 (UTC)

Hi Blaze Wolf. I'm not sure what exactly you are asking for. The enWiki's en:WP:DENY is an essay, and its Japanese corresponding page, Wikipedia:認識を拒絶する, can be found easily by following its interwiki link.

We have a policy on vandals, Wikipedia:荒らし, but that can be also easily reached from the enWiki's en:Wikipedia:Vandalism page. That's why I'm confused.

Could you also please clarify what you mean by "the page of a Japanese LTA's page on enWiki"?--RottenApple777（会話） 2022年3月10日 (木) 21:09 (UTC)

@RottenApple777: Hello RottenApple! Apologies for the confusion, I often forget it's not policy and merely an essay, as it's often treated as policy. TO clarify a bit further (without going into too much detail because they're an LTA), there's an LTA here on Japanese Wiki that I recently came across through a post to enWiki's Teahouse (wasn't actually by the LTA but just someone who noticed an edit the LTA made). I noticed that they also have an LTA page on enWiki as well as here on jaWiki, however the enWiki page isn't nearly as good as the Japanese one. Blaze Wolf（会話） 2022年3月10日 (木) 21:15 (UTC)

Blaze Wolf, thank you for the explanation. I got it. Ok, what we have are:

• Wikipedia:荒らし - en:Wikipedia:Vandalism (policy)
• Wikipedia:認識を拒絶する - en:WP:DENY (essay)
• Wikipedia:荒らしの通報 - en:Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism (ongoing vandalism report)
• Wikipedia:進行中の荒らし行為/長期 - en:Wikipedia:Long-term abuse (a list of alleged LTAs)

Are they any help? A lot of our policies are originated from enWiki policies, and they are very similar, if not the same. Let me know what else you may need.--RottenApple777（会話） 2022年3月10日 (木) 22:09 (UTC)

@RottenApple777: Thank you that helps! I'm mainly asking so I can appropriately request help from people here on Japanese wikipedia in improving the page since the LTA has shown up on enWiki. Blaze Wolf（会話） 2022年3月10日 (木) 22:12 (UTC)

@Blaze Wolf: then you want someone who is willing to communicate with you via something like Wikimail so that you don't have to reveal which LTA page you are referring to publicly, and thus you can avoid glorifying this LTA, right?--RottenApple777（会話） 2022年3月11日 (金) 16:46 (UTC)

@RottenApple777: As much as I'd rather not (since my email address contains some personal info), yes I do. Especially since from what I was able to gather through Google's translation of the LTA page here, it's a rather nasty LTA. Blaze Wolf（会話） 2022年3月11日 (金) 19:23 (UTC)

That might be difficult as our folks will probably be reluctant to reveal their personal info too...unless someone can figure out how to communicate with you without sacrificing his/her privacy.

JAWIKI editors, are there any volunteers? --RottenApple777（会話） 2022年3月11日 (金) 23:50 (UTC)

@RottenApple777: I know some people on enWiki have created a Wikipedia specific email. I've considered doing it as well however I haven't really had the time and have been rather lazy in doing so lately. Blaze Wolf（会話） 2022年3月11日 (金) 23:55 (UTC)

Translation request

Hello,

Could someone translate these pages from Polish to Japanese? I don't speak Japanese.

FSO Warszawa

FSO Syrena

Polski Fiat 125p

FSO Ogar

FSO Polonez

FSO Wars

I also think these articles should contain info about imports of these cars to Japan, works featuring them, such as mangas/animes, Japanese TV commercials, if any (similar to the トラバント article), and, if a vehicle is an exhibit in the Motorcar Museum of Japan, a link to that museum. I'm pretty sure a lot of vehicles were brought to Japan, and the Polonez was featured in the anime series Master Keaton, similar to the aforementioned Trabant...

Greetings, Kotori Habane（会話） 2022年5月12日 (木) 16:37 (UTC)]

Hi, @Kotori Habane:. I'm sorry but I did not get the ping notice.I wish I could help you, but I'm not familiar with automobile terminologies. Even if the articles were written in Japanese, I probably do not understand them. Those cars look very cool, though. --RottenApple777（会話） 2022年5月18日 (水) 21:26 (UTC)

FYI: I submitted translation requests at Portal:自動車/翻訳依頼. They will show up on Portal:自動車 where editors who are more familiar with the automobile industry would gather. Hopefully someone is willing to take up those tasks.--RottenApple777（会話） 2022年5月19日 (木) 17:33 (UTC)

Translation Request from english into Japanese en:John Serry Sr.

Greetings: If an editor is available, kindly assist in translating this biography about the noted musician named John Serry (ジョン・セリー)(en:John Serry Sr.) on the English Wikipedia into Japanese--alas I do not speak Japanese). John Serry (John Serry was a noted accordionist, organist, composer and educator who entertained audiences internationally for over seven decades during the en:Golden Age of Radio and foren:CBS Television in the 1930's - 2000's decades. His collaborations with leading international conductors (such as en:Alfredo Antonini, en:Shep Fields and soloists (such as en:Juan Arvizu and en:Nestor Mesta Chayres and the comedian en:Bob Hope) of his era as well as his performances for en:Voice of America helped to introduce the en:Bolero and the en: Tango to American audiences while also promoting en:Cultural diplomacy and international peace for the United States' Department of State -en:Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs during World War II. The article contains links to several of his historic audio recordings on the Accordion (which is considered to be a spiritual instrument in Japan) with jazz orchestras, classical concert ensembles and his own quartet which may be of interest to Japanese readers. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration and enjoy the music! Ciao! 160.72.81.86 2022年7月7日 (木) 15:03 (UTC)GCL

Renaming users

28% of the unanswered requests for a change of username are from Japanese speakers. We need more Japanese renamers to help serve the Japanese wiki. m:Global_renamers/ja -- Cabayi（会話） 2022年7月11日 (月) 06:30 (UTC)

@Cabayi: I checked the Meta page you have provided, and it seems that voters there are reluctant to support candidates who do not hold advance-rights at their home wiki. There are only about 40 advance-rights-holders at jawiki, and we need their undivided attention here. We cannot afford to spare/share their attention between jawiki and Meta. Are there other ways to assist you? Like providing language support?--AppleRingo777（会話） 2022年7月17日 (日) 14:15 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply AppleRingo777. The queue of renaming requests is confidential. We can't share the Japanese language requests for translation assistance as that would break the users' privacy rights. The renamer also needs to be aware of the Japanese wiki's username policies.

This is not a service for meta, it's a service for jawiki users who are having to wait longer than average for their requests to be answered. It's not an arduous task, nor are there so many Japanese users requesting changes that it would be a big drain on anybody's time. Regards, Cabayi（会話） 2022年7月18日 (月) 06:53 (UTC)

12 of the 19 unanswered requests for a change of username are from Japanese speakers. Cabayi（会話） 2022年7月31日 (日) 11:13 (UTC)

New version of LiveRC in progress

Hi, I'm JackJackpot from Wikipedia in French. Sorry to write in English; if someone can translate in the local language, it would be much appreciated. We plan to develop a new version of LiveRC, a patrolling tool commonly used on fr-wp to fight vandalism, but it is getting old, outdated, and needs several improvements. The project page is translated in English. The tool is needed for fr-wp, but we want to make it available (and configurable) for other wikis.

The fr-wp patrolling community has built a list of specifications for this new tool with our needs. We translated “Specifications” in English and it's available there.

Your feedback would be appreciated regarding “Specifications” we wrote, in order to take into account the needs of your community and build, as much as possible, a tool that suits other communities needs. You can post your feedbacks (preferably in English) on the fr-wp talkpage dedicated to it.

If you reply to this message here, please ping me so I don't miss it. Warm regards,

--JackJackpot（会話） 2022年9月26日 (月) 06:40 (UTC)

We are not familiar with the Japanese version or Wikipedia. That's why this page was the best page we could find to ask for your help.

But please feel free to move this post to a better page, where more people could read it and answer.

Best regards, --JackJackpot（会話） 2022年9月26日 (月) 06:45 (UTC)

Draft article for WiTricity

Hello! Over at ノート:WiTricity, I've shared a draft article for Japanese Wikipedia on behalf of WiTricity and as part of my work at Beutler Ink.

Display problem with Template:サッカークラブ(soccer football) and ( Template:サッカーナショナルチーム (Infobox national football team) )

Korean nationalist editor pretending to be Japanese and engaging in cross wiki vandalism

This user is pushing an Korean nationalist agenda, fabricating historical material and engaging in personal attacks across wikipedia on a proxy ip as well.

All his edits reflect a Korean nationalist agenda including claiming the Hata clan were Koreans.

On English wikipedia he used a proxy ip address and pretended to be Japanese to insult and personally attack a user his main account was disputing with, he wanted to claim Manchus carried Korean DNA.

He edited the chankoro article here on Japanese wikipedia and cited a source that doesn't say what he edited in the article.

He used this source which says chankoro comes from a Taiwanese word, and made up his own content claiming it came from Han people calling themselves slaves in front of Manchus (when all Qing historians note that Han officials never call themselves slaves in front of the Qing Emperor but only Manchu bannermen did). The made up content be added doesn't match the citation.

He then fabricated an entire quote from Hideki Tojo claiming that history of Han is of slavery to different ethnicities including Goguryeo (which never ruled China but is only something a Korean nationalist would write). The Xianbei Murong defeated Goguryeo and the Mongols ruled Korea and Manchus defeated Korea. A Korean nationalist edited this quote onto their wiki pages on chankoro and of course put Goguryeo in there which Tojo would never have bothered to mention.

In fact both of the things he copied into the article only appears on Korean wikis. The whole sentence about Han people calling themselves slaves of Manchus only appeared first on these Korean wiki articles.

The only Japanese websites this quote appears on are mirrors of Japanese wikipedia.

In reality all historians note Han officials never addressed themselves as slaves to the Qing emperor, only Manchu officials addressed themselves as slaves to the Emperor because being his slave was regarded as an honour in Manchu culture.。

"チャンコロとは中国人（主に漢民族）を意味するもので、差別意識を伴っての使用が多い言葉である。チャンコロは清国奴の台湾読みしたもので、日本が台湾を統治していた時に普及したとされる（他にも語言説があり）。"

Request to rename 日墨学院 to "日本メキシコ学院"

From https://www.liceomexicanojapones.edu.mx/ja the school uses "社団法人日本メキシコ学院" as its official full form name. I would assume the appropriate article title would be "日本メキシコ学院". Would it be OK if I request this rename too?

Addressing a crufty article

こんにちは！ I came across the article en:Sasuke (TV series) after finding it in the trivia section of a stage in Splatoon 3. Upon coming to the article, I noticed that it was 294,930 bytes in size. Me and some other editors have since cut it down to under 20k bytes in size. I took a look at this Wiki's equivalent (SASUKE) and noticed that it appears to be just as bad, being 276k bytes in size. I'm here asking for some assistance in cutting this article down as well seeing as it has some maintenance tags relating to cruft on it (and there's already a Fandom wiki for the TV series). I don't completely understand Japanese which is why I'm asking here instead of doing it myself. Blaze Wolf（会話） 2023年1月27日 (金) 01:46 (UTC)

University of Oxford

I updated the number of colleges at Oxford and noticed some further out of date information in オックスフォード大学:

• カトリック系（トリニティ・カレッジ、セント・ジョンズ・カレッジ）

The older colleges, including en:Trinity College, Oxford and en:St John's College, Oxford were Catholic under en:Mary I of England, but not since then.

• 2つのカトリックPPHsのほか、St Benet's HallとCampion Hallは男子学生のみを受け入れている。

en:Campion Hall, Oxford and en:St Benet's Hall, Oxford both admitted women, then St Benet's Hall closed in 2022. Could a Japanese speaker remove the outdated information? --TSventon（会話） 2023年3月30日 (木) 20:48 (UTC)

Academy Award for Best Foreign Film (2)

Hello. I wrote not long ago always on the same subject. I was talking about Toshiro Mifune and how the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film (Rashomon), was kept by him. Here in the photo still portrays Mifune with the statuette, but for winning another film "Miyamoto Musashi" by Hiroshi Inagaki. Is it possible that earlier the award could also have been kept at this point by the film's lead actor, not just the director? If two clues make a proof...Thank you. https://www.facebook.com/ToshiroMifuneOfficial/photos/mifune-holding-the-oscar-trophy-for-musashi-miyamotowhich-won-the-best-foreign-p/1077524388936006/?paipv=0&eav=AfYZxDo7Vk1yc-0NOkvGg3qTD9sLjiFYXdRlqwrE3tQ7AoBhdr_0NZ4rd6Mro-HS8X8&_rdr
