[Viki Community] Project Contribution page updates

Hi @lutra, the 2 changes mentioned in the post will be rolled out one after another as noted in the post.

The one that has just been released is “(2) Bringing back the video blurb”. We made some last-minute changes in the sequence, which might have caused confusion, sorry!

The rest will be addressed (or resolved) when “(1) Fixing issue with empty Project Contribution pages” has been completed.

THANK YOU! I was on cloud 9 when I saw the recent projects… I couldn’t be more happier than I am right now.

Thank you for the video blurb.

I can only hope TD will come back as well. The site is supposed to function with functional cookies only so we should not be forced to accept social media cookies.

@jeslynl I still have only 1 project on the first page, then I have to go to page 2 to see a whole list of project, so it’s not corrected yet, although I see the blurb video of last contribution.

I did logout/login no change, also on my overview page it shows “just 1 project” not like before several ones, was it perhaps 5/6 projects before??

I also found a change in the sequel of my Rating Reviews, they are somehow all mixed up with the years…

@simi11 @teufelchen_netty_266 My earlier reply to Lutra might give you some clarity!

@lutra @simi11 @teufelchen_netty_266 Tagging you guys to let you know that old channels are now back on your Project Contributions page! For information on some display and functional changes, you can catch up via the original post of this thread (just above!) :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for continuing to respond to volunteers’ concerns and suggestions. :rose:

About the above (as quoted), I’m glad that old/archived channels are brought back on our PC pages. Pertaining to only my case, I noticed that:

  1. Channels I did not participate in and did not contribute anything, have been added to my PC pages. The channel that caught my attention and made me dig in further is “Lucia’s Secrets” which I am sure I did not participate in at all.

  2. Channels I did participate in and did contribute in some way, have been zeroed off. Though I must add that there are channels I’ve contributed in and are showing some contribution count. I’m just not sure now if those numbers are accurate although I’m never concerned about contribution count per se. And no, I have no evidentiary way to back up my observation.

Fellow volunteers, please do check your PC pages. Perhaps you have some form of evidentiary evidence? I don’t think my case is unique. :muscle:

@vikicommunity @jeslynl For your info. Thank you.:rose:

I can’t see anything unusual on my project pages. :thinking:

I do have a case, though, where I was put in as a subtitler without being asked. Could that be the same for you?

I only noticed that the sequence of projects I worked on is 1 project I worked recently and then it continues with years old projects of dramas or movies that have been removed from Viki, After all that it then continues with projects I for example finished a months ago and there after… it’s a strange sequence.

Anyone else having projects that were officially fan-channels (I mean the rare stuff like French and Turkish channels) showing, but other’s with even more contribution are missing?

So for one drama Oh, My Lady for example, was as far as I can remember my 2nd channel to work on. It got deleted and re-uploaded, and it doesn’t show on the contribution page. Could that be a special case?

But there is another one the drama Athena, was only deleted and never re-uploaded?

Is it just bad luck or is it as we in Germany say “Die Tücke steckt im Detail.”, I only found the English “The devil is in the detail”, don’t know if that is the only way to put it in words. Anyway in German we don’t use “devil” but malice (Tücke).

What’s the plan? Is there currently a plan, or will there be attention given to the many shows languishing half done with subtitles? A lot of these shows have been there for years, months etc. Maybe a special task team could be created to tackle these kind of shows? They could have the same function as the regular teams, but under a badge as a special task team. They also can recruit many teams. Those on this team cannot participate in regularly recruiting teams, unless they are no longer on the special task team. What do you each think? Is this an approach that might get the Viki website up to 100% subtitled?

A Special Task Team sounds really good, like some under cover police officers :joy:
This can be a good idea to get all shows completed in their languages.
But the question remains, who is going to guarantee that the people in STT are actually good in their language, they might just be uncaught abusers who’ll get more power. Will the people who worked as hard as the people in STT but couldn’t be a part of it feel really happy about not being a part of STT? Will the people in STT misuse their power at some point of time, will they increase biasness in this already divided community?

A STT does add to my fantasy and I want to see one and how they’ll function, but just like every other feature on Viki, this can also have its own demerits.

I guess that part needs proper setting up first, before the task force can be unleashed :rofl:

The same thing is happening to me; they have channels/dramasI know I didn’t contribute in them, and is annoying bc we have no way of knowing why they’re saying I added subs in that drama. I hope they resolve to delete those dramas that are no longer available bc it makes the page look disorganized.

I doubt it. It’s in a source language I’m not proficient in nor have I ever joined any team to translate it.

True. If I’m not wrong, the sequence has been “strange” for a long time. Not just since the reupload of archived channels. I’m not disturbed by it though. I shrugged it off as tech eccentricity.
