I think Ive mentioned this here before but its still a problem
Last semester, we had nine classes in the es.wiki course extension. There
were two problems.
1) as I am the only one (so far) with the permission/flag to create
classes, I have to add the (real) instructors as instructors, rather than
creators. This means that they cannot add students to their own course.
That would not be such a big deal if not for ....2) The link that is
generated for students to enter and add themselves to a course sometimes
works and sometimes not. It seems to be a problem with the use of accent
marks in words in the url. I thought by changing "Tecnológico de Monterrey"
to "Tec de Monterrey" as the institution name, Id be able to eliminate the
problem. However, unfortunately the url contains the word "inscripción"
(registration) with an accent mark.
I just created a course for teacher training from now through next
semester with the inscription here
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Inscripci%C3%B3n/Tec_de_Monterrey,_Ca…
and tried registering under my account, which worked. But when my husband
tried on his computer with his account he received a message saying that
the site does not exist. Another teacher has emailed me with the same issue.
All language classes on three campuses are being asked/required to do
something with es.wiki or Commons next semester. That is a LOT of classes
and even more student students even if only a third of them work with
es.wiki. I dont see how I can set up everything for teachers and students
on the course extension. I have a request to get permission/flag at least
for the teachers who worked with wiki last semester (
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tabl%C3%B3n_de_anuncios_de_los_bibl…)
but es.wiki right now requires applicants to hav significant editing
experience, not just experience supervising students. No answer yet on
whether it will be approved or not.
I guess this is a bug but I have no idea how or to whom to report it.
