Missing the Scrapy entry in Wikipedia in many languages

[noviluni]

This is not an issue related with the code itself but with Scrapy.

I've seen that the only Wikipedias with the Scrapy entry are:

• English: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapy

• French: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapy

• Polish: https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapy

• Chinese: https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapy

I think it could be a good idea to create this issue and tag it as "easy" or "good first issue" and maybe even pin this issue some time to encourgare those who want to contribute to Scrapy to create an entry in Wikipedia in their native language.

It could be a good/nice goal to try to get 17 (just to put a number, it is the number of wikipedias with +1.000.000 articles) for june 2020 (6 months).

Feel free to give your opinion or even close the issue if you don't like the idea.

Expected goal:

• [x] English
• [ ] Cebuano
• [ ] Swedish
• [x] German
• [x] French
• [ ] Dutch
• [x] Russian
• [x] Italian
• [x] Spanish
• [x] Polish
• [ ] Waray
• [ ] Vietnamese
• [x] Japanese
• [x] Chinese
• [ ] Arabic
• [x] Portuguese

Other:

• [x] Farsi
• [x] Greek
• [x] Hindi
• [x] Korean
• [x] Turkish
• [x] Ukranian

As long as the work is done following the guidelines of the corresponding Wikipedia projects, I think this is OK and a nice goal.

Added Spanish version: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapy (feel free to edit or add more info). :tada:

[noviluni]

For those who want to contribute, you can find here a video explaining how to start a translation from another language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Translation#How_to_translate

And here some relevant info about their polices and guidelines:

• Ten simple rules for editing Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ten_simple_rules_for_editing_Wikipedia
• List of polices and guidelines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_policies_and_guidelines

The list in the main ticket is for guidance, but please if your language is not there, don't hesitate and translate it!

I've added a portuguese version (Brasil) of Scrapy in Wikipedia! I used some informations from the documentation and also from the Spanish and English versions. I'm trying to get closer to the Scrapy community, so please let me know if there are plans about translating documentation from English to Portuguese, mainly. Best regards @noviluni @Gallaecio ! :tada:

Hi @lucasdutraf ! Thank you very much for this contribution! Really cool!!! :smile: :tada:

[KimKiHyuk]

what do you think about adding korean page? i can take this job

[noviluni]

Hi @KimKiHyuk ! Yes please! The list was only for guidance, I have just added the Korean to the checklist.

Please, go ahead! :smile:

[KimKiHyuk]

Hi @KimKiHyuk ! Yes please! The list was only for guidance, I have just added the Korean to the checklist.

Please, go ahead! 😄

I've done korean page. thank you for opening good first issue! this framework is really awesome!

[noviluni]

Thank you very much @KimKiHyuk !!! And welcome to the Scrapy family! 🎉

[abkenov]

I can translate the page to Russian, if it is still relevant

[noviluni]

Hi @abkenov ! Yeah, it would be really nice to have the Russian translation!

You can find how to do it in this comment: https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/issues/4233#issuecomment-566922895

Let me know if you have any doubt! :smile:

[abkenov]

I've added the page in Russian, however there were troubles with properly adding the logo and it required multiple edits and wikipedia is arguing about it. Thanks for letting me help. I would also like to work on coding issues in the scope of the OSS course that I am taking at the moment in University. Hope there is some work that I can help with!

[noviluni]

Hi @abkenov Thank you very much for taking the time to create that entry on the Russian Wikipedia, hopefully they will accept the article! :crossed_fingers:

About contributing to the code, with +400 opened issues I'm sure you will find something to do :)

You can start by looking at those issues with some of these tags: “docs”, “good first issue” and “help wanted”, but of course, they are usually the most commented issues, so don’t hesitate to read untagged issues to find if there is something you can start with or some issues that can be closed. Finally, you can try to improve some docs or improve the tests coverage of certain parts of the code. All these actions would help you to start working on the project :smile:

Thank you again for your contribution!

Hey, i have added the page in Italian, i don't know if it's already indexed. Hope i helped!

[Suvid-Singhal]

Hi, I am 14 yrs old and I want to contribute to Scrapy. I can manually translate english page to hindi as I speak Hindi. Should I do it?

[Gallaecio]

That would be great! Do make sure that you follow the guidelines of the Hindi Wikipedia, though.

[Suvid-Singhal]

Hi, I have translated the Scrapy Wikipedia page to Hindi. Here is the link:- https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80

Can I get the contributor badge?

[Gallaecio]

Good work!

Can I get the contributor badge?

I must say I had not noticed them until now :facepalm:

From what I’m reading, it does not seem to be something we can give you. It looks like Github automatically displays them when the right conditions are met. For example, if I hover @noviluni’s Contributor badge, it says “This user has previously committed to the scrapy repository.”.

[alantt01]

Hello, I can try to help out for the Japanese page.

[noviluni]

Hi @alantt01 ! That would be awesome! :smile:

[alantt01]

Hi @noviluni ,

Thanks for your reply. That has been done.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapy

Seems that the citation rules have been tightened up since the English version was written. If dates can be provided I can update the citation details.

[mdieske]

Hi, I'm looking for ways to contribute to OSS-projects. I found this issue and could help out with a translation to German as a start.

[noviluni]

Hi @mdieske ! That would be really great! 😄

[mdieske]

Hi @noviluni,

I'm done. Here is the link to the entry in German Wikipedia.

[noviluni]

great! thank you @mdieske!! :100:

[faizeansari]

I would like to translate in Urdu, as in Pakistan a lot of people is trying to use Scrapy but their medium is Urdu and most of them are not good in English. So, if it's goOd then allow me to translate the Wiki for Scrapy in Urdu

[noviluni]

Hi @faizeansari! It would be amazing if you can fo it! :smile:

You can find in this comment a video showing how to do it: https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/issues/4233#issuecomment-566922895

Thank you for helping to ease it for people knowing Urdu! :muscle:

[Gallaecio]

@faizan2700 Mind that we are talking about the Wikipedia article here, not about the Scrapy documentation. The latter is not internationalized (i.e. translatable) yet, see https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/issues/3511

[btapash]

Hey! I want to translate it into my native language Bengali. Can I proceed with it?

[noviluni]

@btapash yes please! Go ahead! 😃
