| ⚫ | [[Wikipedia:Ultraviolet|Ultraviolet]] is a new, fast-growing JavaScript counter-vandalism tool, specifically designed for [[Usability|user friendliness]]. Ultraviolet has gained over 200 new users and is rapidly growing every day. So far, 40,000+ edits have been made with the tool. Thanks to your help, Ultraviolet is now backed by a team of hard-working and trusted volunteers. If you'd like to join us, you don't need to be a genius, or have any major experience to volunteer — and, to be cliche, it may even be a great thing to put on your resume. Engaging in Ultraviolet's development is a good way to get your work in use by hundreds of editors across the globe. If you've had any JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, design, translation, counter-vandalism, or other experience that would aid in Ultraviolet's development, your contributions would be highly valued! |

*{{user|Eumat114}} '''Translator into zhwiki''' - fluent in Chinese. Might do more of the basic UI translation. Question: do you want RedWarn to still be called RedWarn in [[zh:WP:REDWARN|the Chinese version]] or do you want a Chinese name there (e.g. 紅警示, literally "Red Warning")?

::{{u|Eumat114}}, thanks for volunteering! Would you be willing to work with {{u|Geekpotato24}} to help it across? And what do you guys think would be a good name in Chinese? Not the biggest fan of the more literal name, or passing "RedWarn" there as it could be confused.

::::{{u|Eumat114}}, you can use it in your web browser or via downloading the apps. Once you join a "server" via the link there are chats that you can talk in known as channels. It's quite easy to use once you've made an account.

::::@{{u|Eumat114}}: In essence, you just make an account with any username you want, and then you click on the link to join a server. [[Discord (software)|Discord]] is just another messaging service, much like [[Messenger]], [[Telegram (software)|Telegram]], [[WhatsApp]] or whatever, except that they user "servers" instead. Servers are like chatrooms, except servers can hold multiple chatrooms. Once you make an account, click the link, and press "Join Server", and if you haven't installed Discord on your computer yet, you can use your browser by clicking "Continue to Discord".

|||
:::::{{re|Eumat114}} Pretty much what the others said above, It's a chat platform that's very easy to use and you can access it in your browser. It'll make collaboration on the project easier. Have you joined yet? Look forward to seeing you on there.

Ultraviolet is a new, fast-growing JavaScript counter-vandalism tool, specifically designed for user friendliness. Ultraviolet has gained over 200 new users and is rapidly growing every day. So far, 40,000+ edits have been made with the tool. Thanks to your help, Ultraviolet is now backed by a team of hard-working and trusted volunteers. If you'd like to join us, you don't need to be a genius, or have any major experience to volunteer — and, to be cliche, it may even be a great thing to put on your resume. Engaging in Ultraviolet's development is a good way to get your work in use by hundreds of editors across the globe. If you've had any JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, design, translation, counter-vandalism, or other experience that would aid in Ultraviolet's development, your contributions would be highly valued!
