Temporary Translation adminship for Yug

[edit]

Hello,
According to community approved (LinguaLibre.org and Commons) and Wikimedia France funded mission, I'm mid-way migrating 8,000 pages to Wikimedia Commons. I'm now migrating pages marked for translations and I face userrights restrictions. Using Special:Import fails on translations subpages :

Importing pages...

I tried "a hack" to upload the root page, then request existing translation administrators to mark pages for translations. K i9t proven non practical : I typically wait 2 to 4 hours, then go back and forth if needed, so I may run my command. If there is an error, I need to restart the request and wait another 2~3 hours to fix the situation and import again. I believe one week access to Translation administrator user-right would simplify the mission at hand. I will be able to debug and solve without delays. Yug (talk) 16:37, 7 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
