Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki:International

The Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki has support for editors from different communities. An international wiki will not be in direct management of the English wiki, but we offer the best quality help for all language communities.

Our Discord server has dedicated channels to ask questions about international wikis. There we also offer different tips and tricks for wiki translators. Alternatively, you may go to the Message Wall of our representative for questions.

Support
The English wiki provides various support for international wikis.

For long-term technical support, editors and staff from international wikis may reach out for help from the English wiki by:
 * Using the international channels on Discord
 * Contacting the Representative

More recently, the language extensibility for international wikis are placed considerably in the design of features for the wiki. More integrations will be in place for international wikis in order to benefit their development. Members of international wikis may engage with editors on the English wiki and provide feedback and suggestions concerning editing needs on international wikis, mainly on Discord.

Representative

 * The current representative for international wikis is: User:MonkeysHK
 * Contact the representative: Discord, Message Wall

The International Representative is a staff member of the English wiki that is capable of resolving technical problems and handling requests for your international wikis. This person will manage most things about the international wikis.


 * What the representative does:
 * If the representative has the Administrator user right on a wiki, they will update the scripts and styling on that wiki when they are updated on the English wiki, in the condition that members of the community allow it. Current participating wikis are: ko, zh
 * The representative has to respond to inquiries and requests from translators and staff
 * If the representative has the Bureaucrat user right on a wiki, in the case that a wiki gone inactive, the representative is required to maintain the wiki for its continuity, including promoting new staff to manage the wiki
 * The representative otherwise has no rights in dealing with the matters on international wikis (these are left for the respective community and staff team)

Editing an Existing Language Wiki
You can check whether a wiki is active by going to Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&limit=5000&days=30&enhanced=1&urlversion=2 for on that wiki. You can see if administrators are active on a wiki by going to Special:ListUsers/sysop.

Active Wikis
For wikis with Active Management, you can directly go in and edit and work with the respective community to deliver the best content to your respective audience. When you start, it is suggested that you translate all the main pages (pages that are linked on the top navigation) as a priority.

If you wish to be involved further, given they have an active staff team, you may go and request to join their staff team once you have a good amount of edits and shown your dedication and skill in wiki editing.

Inactive Wikis
Unfortunately, some wikis have gone inactive. If the wiki exists, you can still edit the wiki, but it will be impossible to ask for change in site styling, themes and scripts. In the case that no administrators have been active for over 60 days, we highly recommend you to Adopt the Wiki to access full features to improve the wiki (See Help:Adoption). Note that different language can have different requirement for adoption. Please contact us to help you with the adoption process.

Userboxes
These userboxes are for translators. Note that you have to be active in the respective community and positions to use the infoboxes, or we can remove it.  lang role

Opening a Language Community
If you did not find your community in, you can request us to create a new language wiki for you.

In the old procedure (Choice 2), a translator need to go ahead and create their own wikis, even if they may not be interested in dealing with all the technicalities. Some wikis may be inactive and must go through adoption to sustain its maintenance. The new procedure (Choice 1) is intended to provide minimal barrier for entry and to ensure a wiki to be sustainable.
