Advice

Hi, while copying content from pages that have been marked for translation to new pages, please do not copy translation unit markers as you had done on Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2023 in Uganda. The unit-markers are assigned by the Translate Extension whenever a page is marked for translation. I hope you take care of this in future. Best, ─ The Aafī (^talk) 16:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @TheAafi this advice is most appreciated. I will look out for that in my future edits. Thank you. Tamdra (talk) 19:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

@Tamdra: Thanks and welcome. Please let me know if you need my help elsewhere. Best, ─ The Aafī (^talk) 02:55, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
