Project:批准新用户
translatewiki.net不使用MediaWiki的常规注册表单。
我们使用以下自定义流程：
- 用户选择其知悉的语言，选择用户名和密码，并提供电子邮件。
- 要求用户做一些示例翻译。
- 人工检查申请并批准或拒绝。
或者，开发人员可以通过留下他们开发的内容来注册。
此过程的目标是阻止垃圾帐户和破坏者。
批准新用户的一般准则是：
- the new user provides translations which are not gibberish (assume good faith for languages you don't know);
- approve requests for developer sign-ups;
- send a reminder if the user hasn't provided any translations within a couple of hours;
- send a second reminder if the the user hasn't provided any translations within a day.
It is a known issue that the sign-up process can be confusing, so use your judgement.For example, if you see a common name or email address from a known person, you can still approve the account.
The new user approvers should coordinate with each other, for example if there are vandals that try to sign-up repeatedly.In some cases, you might want to defer to a system administrator who can run a “CheckUser”.
