Recent edits

Please make use of the Show preview button. It gives you a preview of the edit you are making, allowing you to perfect your changes before you save the page. You can edit the whole article by clicking the edit button at the top of the page, which is preferable to editing multiple sections consecutively.

Please also take a look at the pages before publishing them Sun-on-a-Stick/tr looks nothing like other articles, and a lot of it isn't translated. Please translate the full page in one go or save it locally before publishing the page.

What I meant by "poor translation"

Greetings.

It was I who marked the Sun-on-a-Stick/tr article for deletion. When I added "Poor job on translation", I was referring to errors such as:

• Translating "weapon" in type = weapon.
• Not including the item infobox's slot parameter.
• Leaving a space at the start of the intro paragraph, which made it look entirely like this.
• Starting all sentences with lower case.
• Not translating things like "promotional melee weapon" and "critical hits".
• Putting /tr in the wrong place in links.

Looking at your recent edits to that same article, I see even more errors.

• Adding {{botignore}} at the start of the article as if it will prevent bots from editing the article.
• Translating parameters themselves (damagetype, attack interval etc) instead of just their values (the things after =).
  • Before you decide to translate all values, know that some outputs should be kept in English.
    • If you don't know which values are translatable and which ones are not, use the "Show preview" button. If it breaks, then it should be kept in English; if it doesn't, then it should be translated.
• There still are things untranslated.
• Almost all of the article's sentences are starting with lower cases.

Also, from looking at other Turkish articles about promotional weapons, I can tell that what you translated as

"güneş-asası promotional/tr melee weapon/tr Scout/tr'un silahlarındandır"

should actually be something along the lines of

"Güneş Asası Scout için promosyonel bir yakın dövüş silahıdır".

I know I have mentioned the "Show preview" button before, but I feel the need to emphasize it. Please make sure to use it often during your edits, so you can see if there are any things wrong in the article (typos, broken templates/parameters...) before saving your edits.
