AttributeTranslation (source) – A script that automatically adds attribution (with a dummy edit and the appropriate talk page template) to articles with non-attributed translations of other Wikipedias and notifies the translator(s). Useful when reviewing articles at New Pages Patrol.
Steps performed by the script:
- Adds a dummy edit to the article with an edit summary attribution
- Adds {{Translated page}} to the article's talk page (if needed)
- Notifies the translator(s) with {{uw-translation}}
Installation
editAutomatic
edit- Step 1: Check the checkbox at Preferences → Gadgets → Advanced →
Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation) and click Save. - Step 2: Click the big blue "Install" button in the infobox on the right of this page.
Manual

{{subst:iusc|User:CFA/scripts/attributetranslation.js}}
Usage
edit- On articles, there will be an additional "Translation attribution" menu option next to the regular "Move" option. In Vector skin, this is within the "More" dropdown menu.
- Input the two-letter language code of the original page — found in the url before wikipedia.org (e.g. zh, es, fr)
- Add the original page title
- Select if the {{Translated page}} notice should be added to the talk page. In general, it should be added if the content translated makes up a significant portion of the new article.
- Choose the user(s) you wish to warn with {{uw-translation}} about translating without attribution
