Let's test first, but yes, I think so. Normally, every translator on the wiki has also editor rights. So if I'm not mistaken they have the right to create pages too. It's easy, just write the URL of a page that doesn't exist, and you'll be offered to create it, ex: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/index.php?t ... benches/de

*EDIT* It seems to work OK, when switching to french, the item "Workbenches" in the sidebar is now correctly translated to "Ateliers"

Hi.

I'm glad the topic was taken up.

I think something else needs to change. When trying to create a page I get a message;
Ta strona nie posiada jeszcze zawartości. Możesz wyszukać ten tytuł w treści innych stron lub przeszukać powiązane rejestry, ale nie masz uprawnień do utworzenia tej strony

Aah i see, only admins are able to create pages in the MediaWiki: namespace.
I don't think this restriction is very important to us.. i'll look at how to change that

Ok enabling all users to modify the MediaWiki namespace seemed dangerous (you could break the whole wiki), so I did the following: From now on, members of the "admin" group will be able to modify/create pages in the MediaWiki namespace. (admins are not not wiki administrators, the "admin" group was created by the Translation plugin and gives additional powers related to translation, for ex. delete or move translations, etc)

So basically, who wants to edit MediaWiki: pages, please ask me (here or via PM, tell me which wiki username) and I'll upgrade your wiki account.

:D

I'm eager, Yorik.
It will be useful to handle the Polish version of the sidebar on my own. :roll:

Done! Can you check if it works, if you are able to create a page in the MediaWiki: namespace?
