It really is unfortunate that MediaWiki tools haven't been optimized for
translation. As an information sharing medium, MediaWiki would benefit
hugely from really good translation tools!

If it will help you, I can give you the next level of admin rights on
the Wiki. You would be able to move/copy/delete pages as well as do
some user admin (like ban Spammers). Just let me know if you want
this, and what your Wiki ID is.
That would be great! My OOo (wiki) username is paolopoz.
OK, done. See:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Wiki:Administrators
for info on administrators on the OOo Wiki.
See: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Administrator%27s_Handbook
for the general Manual of what you can/cannot do as an Admin on MediaWiki.
I think the guidelines are already clear and helpful as they are.
I am a complete ignorant in matter of scripting, but I think it would be
very nice to have an automation that creates the to-be-translated page,
copy in it the content, and adds the basic links (for example the "other
languages" link in the original page). If you think this is possible
(and useful) I can provide more infos of what I have in mind.
We discussed this here a while back. Basically as it stands there are
no really robust translation tools for MediaWiki. There are a few
MediaWiki projects that are working on some ideas for this, but nothing
is really in a state that I'd consider usable on the OOoWiki just yet.
