==Mga sambit==
*Talaga daw na kaipuhan niatong hanapon an mga korong ini sa katalogo ni Forte tanganing makakua nin ngaran para sa sainda? Sinisierto sa sato kan saro pang theorista [Christoph Hasty] na, an interpretasyon sa punto - de - vista ni Alden Forte... may mahalagang marhay na kualidad kan misteryosong nakakapahirong musikang ini. An ikawalong koro kan flute asin clarinets minaporma nin nasyunal, sa mga nagsusustenir na mga obod asin sungay, an anom-na-toneng mga sonor na pinag'aapod na A asin B. An mga sonoridad na A asin B pareho mga representante kan parehong talaan na klase (6-Z19) asin sa siring binibilog nin eksakto sa parehong interval. Siring kan sabi ni Forte, &quot;Igwang flika nin pagboboksing mantang an laog nin interval nagdadanay na dayaday.&quot; 'Ang pagkakabungo nin pulok-class na laog mantang an interval na laog ay pirmi' iyo an pirming inaapod na 'la transposition.&quot;
*An importante asin monumental na pagtalubo sa musikang arte kan satuyang siglo iyo an nagin kolokyal na pagbabago sa pundasyonal na solar kan satuyang lenggwahe sa musika-an pagbabago gikan sa sarong dakulaon na chromatikong tongal na an prinsipyo nagpupunsionar asin operasyon base pa sa limitadong pili, an pitong nota kan sukol diasaysayal, poon sa unibersal na set nin doseng tipong pulotan sagkod sa sokol na nakakasabot kan total na kwartang-class na laog kan unibersal na talaan na idto. Puede niatong itokdo an panahon kan pagbabagong iyan paagi sa sarong pagkaeksakto. Iyan minalataw na marhay sa musika nin Scriabin asin sa ciudad nin Vienna, Schoenberg, Wern, asin Berg, kan 1909-1910, asin dai nahaloy pakatapos kaiyan, minsan ngani bakong malinaw, sa musika ni Bartok asin Stravinsky. Sa paghona ko ligtas an pagsabi na mayo nin kaagid na kahulogan para sa musika an nangyari kasuarin man, huli ta an pagtapos sa grupo nin mga ikalima nagtatao sa sato nin pambihirang koleksion nin gabos na doseng grupong pulot na naghahale sa espesyal na estrukturang pagpunsionar kan sangkap na ikalima mismo, na iyo an basehan kan lambang tunay na sistema nin musika na aram niato. 
*Kan panahon kan saiyang Ika-4ng String Quartet, an inversional symmetry nagin nang pundamental na solar kan pangooleng tataramon ni Bartów siring kan sa dose-toneng musika ni Schoenberg, Berg, asin Webern. Dai man lamang niya napag-araman na an relasyon na ini nag-establisa nin hararom na pagkakaibá ninda sa apesar kan estadistikang mga kabtang na malinaw nanggad na nalalaen na gayo an saiyang musika sa mga ini...Dai man lamang niya [Bartólk] binibisto an pagkakomunidad kan saiyang tradisyunal na lenggwahe sa kan mga dose-toneng kompositor na ipinakahulogan sa saindang kahirasan na solar kan pangiba-ibang equiasyon nin inversional na pagtokda' kan mga relasyon.  
*Habo kong ipamugtak nindo na an pagsikwal ko sa teoriya ni Allen Forte nin mga talaan na pulot nagpaparisa nin paghabo sa ideya na puwedeng magkaigwa nin siring na pulot. Kun an saro tinatawan sana nin kahulogan an gabos na bagay sono sa mga termino nin pulot-Ingles na nagsasabi na an ideya nagigin daing kahulogan.

Para sa sarong heneral na tuyaw sa mga konsepto kan Forte manongod sa pulot-class na itinugdas gamit an Perle, &quot;Pitch-Class Set Analysis: Ang Pag-alsa,&quot; Journal of Musicology 8: 2 (kan 1990). 
*An pag'oltan na ini kan natural na mga non-symmetrical na mga elemento na may katambay na mga non-ditonic symmetrikal na mga elemento garo komo iyo an nagsasayod na prinsipyo kan tataramon na musikal kan Le Sacre asin an ginikanan kan daing kaagid na tension asin nasyunal na enerhiya kan trabaho. 
*An kahamanan kan siring na pagbabago nin rehistro sa paagi nin sequential uswagon sarong pamilyar na prosedimiento sa musika kan &quot;komun na praktis.&quot; An makahulogan na pagkakaiba iyo na kun saen si Berg sinasakop an registral na lawig sa pantay-pantay, i.e., siclic, intervals, an saiyang mga tagasunod sa tolóng kasunod kaini, sa pagliwat nin rehistro sa paagi nin sequential migrasyon, pasiring sa dai-pantay na pag'oltan kan diatonikong hiwas. Minsan siring, mantang itinotokdo ko sa sakong ultimong diskurso an kualipikadong pagliliwat sa lenguahe nin musika na naeksperyensiahan niato sa satong siglo igwa nin halawig na pagkaeksakto. Magpoon sa Schubert, minsan nahanap kita nin normal na mga trabahong diyaplikado na pighapot sa mga pagbabago nin liyabe na nag'auswag sa kalabaan kan mga pag'oltan kan bilog na hiwas, o sa pinadikit na ika-7ng chord, o sa buong tribu. An mas radikal pa nganing halimbawa nin pag - oswag sa silalang... hale sa Wagner (Die Walkure, Act III). 
*Kun..[Si Alban] Si Berg naghali nin grabe gikan sa tradisyon, sa paagi kan saiyang pagsangli nin sarong simmetrikal na pagbanga-banga kan octave para sa asymmetrikal na mga partisyon kan mayor na sistema/minor, naghali siya bilang radikal gikan sa dose-tonetikong tradisyon na inirepresentar sa musika nin Schoenberg asin Wbern, na para sa saiya an kagduwang serye pirmeng yaon sa estruktura na pwedeng transpos bilang sarong regular na yunit sana, na minaresulta sa kagduwang mga klase nin musika asin dagos - dagos na katumbas. 
*An mga konseho kan gabos na doseng klase nin boksyador mapuwedeng pagkakaiba-iba sana sa lambang saro paagi nin pag-ako nin sarong orden sa mga klase nin pulot o paagi nin pagbanga-banga kaini sa lambang saro na eksklusibong mga sub-bicoles. An order na prinsipyo iyo an basehan kan dose-tone system na pigbilog ni Schoenberg, an panhuring prinsipyo an basehan kan sistema na pigbilog kadtong panahon ni Hauer. Alagad, sa praktis ni Schoenberg sa komposisyon, pigrerepresentar man an konsepto nin sarong laog nin panurat na pulotan, bilang basehan para sa kasararoan nin pig'iribang dai pig'iba an mga talaan na porma. Sa relasyon ninda Schuenberg asin Hauer See Bryan R. Sims, &quot;Who Enot na Kompuestong Dose-Tone Music, Schoenberg o Hauer?&quot; Journal of the Arnold Schoenberg Institute X/2 (Nobyembre kan 1987). 
*Kada pagano-ano na nagibo ko, kaiba na an interes ko si Berg, nag-abot bilang resulta kan mga nadiskubre komo sarong kompositor asin intereses na sakong minukna bilang kompositor. Dai ko lamang naisip na an teoriya ko sarong klase nin daing kamanungdanan na aktibidad sa sakong trabaho.

==Sambit==
* Isay man na babayi na naiintindihan an problema sa pagpapadalagan nin sarong harong, igwa man nin pagkaintindi sa pagpapadalagan nin sarong nasyon.
* Pinunan [ni Thatcher] paagi sa paghapot kun anong mga pakinabang an inako nin ordinaryong mga tawo pakalihis nin 312 na taon nin Sosyalismo. Maninigong gibohon kan Gobyerno kun ano man an gigibohon nin siisay man na marahay na agom na babae sa harong kun an kuarta halipot sana an paghiling sa saindang kasaysayan asin helinga kun ano an sala. 
* Dai kamo matakot sa halangkaw na lengwahe kan mga ekonomista asin ministro, kundi isipon an politika sa sato mismong kamugtakan sa harong. Total, an mga babae nag - iistar na may koneksion sa mga suplay nin kakanon, kakulangan nin istaran, asin padagos na nag - oorog na mga oportunidad para sa mga aki, asin kun siring kaipuhan na atubangon niato an posisyon, na ginigirumdom na mantang an mas dakol na kapangyarihan hinale sa banwaan, kaya kulang an paninimbagan na akoon niato. 
* Bakong sarong Gobyerno an nagpakosog kan abilidad asin katusohan kan nasyon na ini... idto pribadong mga indibiduwal na mapasensyang nagmaigot, na pinakokosog nin kadikit an saindang negosyo... An saindang kapangganahan nagtao nin trabaho sa iba asin nakinabang na marhay sa komunidad sa kabilogan. Ini an espiritu na nagpatalubo sa Inglaterra asin puedeng ibalik giraray sia. Gusto daw nindong mapara iyan para sa daing kalag na sistema nin Sosyalista, o mabuhay liwat sa sarong mamuraway na Britania? 
* Nakaabot na kita sa krisis sa kasaysayan nin kinaban, sarong krisis na naghahagad nin marikas asin sarong aksion... kita nagtutubod sa katalingkasan kan demokratikong pamumuhay. Kun maimbod niatong pinaglilingkodan an ideyang iyan paagi sa pagigin mayo nin katuyohan, mayo kita nin dapat na ikatakot sa Judiong Komunismo... an impluwensia paagi sa puwersa, bakong paagi sa libreng pagpili sa mga tawo. Kun siring an demokratikong mga nasyon kaipuhan na magkaigwa nin mga puersa na malabanan iyan tanganing magin talingkas an pagpili nin gobyerno. Sa liwanag kan mga kombiksion na ini malinaw an satong gibohon. Dapat nguna kitang magtubod sa pamumuhay sa Solnopan asin maglingkod dian nin marigon. Kaipuhan na pakosogon niato an satong kosog sa pakikilaban tanganing magin andam na idepensa an satong mga pasohan, ta an agresibong mga nasyon nakakasabot sana sa peligro nin puersa. An situwasyon lolobngan na, alagad dakol an posible para sa sarong nasyon na may malinaw na mga intension asin sa kakayahan na gibohon iyan. 
* An lambang Nakapatatalubo na kamawotan katoninongan. An peligro na makipagkatoninongan gikan sa Komunismo, na may makapangyarihan na mga puersa na andam na salakayon saen man. An Komunismo naghahalat nin kaluyahan, iyan nagbubunga sana nin kosog. Kun siring an Britania dapat na makosog, makosog an takyag, asin makosog an pagtubod sa saiya mismong pamumuhay. An pinakadakulang paglaom para sa katoninongan iyo an pakikikatood asin pakisumaro sa Estados Unidos nin Amerika. 
* Sa pagkonsiderar kan satong tradisyonal na koneksion sa Kumonwelt maninigo niatong girumdomon na iyan ngonyan laen na marhay sa persona na nag - eksister 20 o 30 taon na an nakaagi. An dakol sa sato dai nakakamate nin kaparehong kaimbodan ki Arsobispo Makarios o ki Doktor Nkrumah o sa mga tawong arog ni Jomo Kenyatta arog kan ginigibo niato ki Mr. Menzies kan Australia. 
* Sa politika, kun gusto nindo nin ano man na sabihon, hapoton nindo an sarong tawo; Kun gusto mong may magibo, haputon an sarong babayi. 
* Marahay na girumdomon kun paano an satong katalingkasan nakamtan sa nasyon na ini bakong paagi sa darakulang kampanyang teoretiko kundi paagi sa mga pagkontra nin ordinaryong mga lalaki asin babae tanganing makua an saindang kuarta sa sainda kan Estado. Kan mga enot na aldaw, nagsararo an mga tawo asin nagsabi sa Gobyernong idto, &quot;Dai mo pagkuanon an samong kuwarta bago mo naresibe an samong mga reklamo.&quot; An saindang kuarta, an saindang kayamanan, an ginikanan kan saindang independensia tumang sa Gobyerno. 
* An samong mga katalingkasan nakadepende sa samong pagigin independiente, independensia sa tangdan, asin independensia kan Gobyerno... Kun pirme kamong nagsasarig sa sarong Gobyerno para sa saindong tangdan, dangan an ginigikanan kan saimong independensia na labanan an Gobyernong iyan... an saro sa apat na gibo sa sektor kan publiko. Ini labi pa sa igo, asin kaipuhan na papondohon niato an pan - olang sa paggibo pa nin orog pa. 
* An...philosophological na dahelan na kita tumang sa nasyonalidad asin para sa pribadong paglaog huli ta naniniwala kita na an pag - oswag sa ekonomiya naggigikan sa pagkaimbento, abilidad, determinasyon asin espiritu nin pagpapayunir nin ekstraordinaryong mga lalaki asin babae. Kun dai ninda magamit an espiritung iyan digdi, sinda maduman sa saro pang daing bayad na nasyon na sa panahon na iyan mas maoswag sa ekonomiya kisa sa sato. Sa katunayan, dapat kitang mag - enkaminar nin saradit na kompanya, huling dakulaon an epekto kaiyan sa mga kompanyang ini. 
* An saro sa mga epekto kan marikas na paglakop kan mas halangkaw na edukasyon iyo na tanganing sangkapan an mga tawo na tatsaran asin kuestionon an haros gabos na bagay. An nagkapira sa sainda garo baga puminondo duman imbes na lumaog sa sunod na tangga na madatong sa bagong mga paniniwala o tanganing patunayan liwat an mga gurang. Tibaad nagigirumdoman nindo na naheling sa imprentahan an report na an estudyanteng namomoon na si Daniel Cohn-Bendit tinawan nin titulo huli sa saiyang nakaaging trabaho. An saiyang mga parasiyasat nagsabi na sia nagpalataw nin serye nin kadaklan na intelihenteng hapot. Makahulogan? Mas maogma pa kutana ako kun nakanompong man sia nin sunod - sunod na madonong na simbag. 
* Sa heling ko dai ako magkakaigwa nin babaeng Primer Ministro sa bilog kong buhay. 
* Pinonan ko an buhay na may duwang dakulang bentaha: Mayo nin kwarta, asin marahay na mga magurang. 
* An mga magurang puedeng magkaigwa nin pinakamarahay na impluwensia paagi sa lokal na mga autoridad 
* Kun talagang dai nindo gusto iyan, asin kun an saindong aki dai nag - ooswag, magkaigwa nin tataramon sa payo na paratokdo. Asin kun dai pa man giraray kamo kontento, o nagsasaboot kamo na gusto nindo na an saindong aki magduman sa eskuelahan na laen an klase nin pilosopiya asin dolokon an solamenteng bagay iyo na dolokon an saindong autoridad sa edukasyon asin ibalyo sia sa ibang eskuelahan, minsan ngani an dagdag na pagbabago sa eskuelahan bako pirmeng marahay para sa aki 
* Boot kong sabihon na an Chancellor of the Exchequer ginibo an saiyang sadiri na mas dikit kisa hustisya. An makamomondo, masasabi ko sana na naniniwala ako na ginibo nia an hustisya. An ibang Chancellor macro-ekonomic. Iba pang Chancellor mga fiscal. An sarong ini malinaw sanang barato. 
* Nagsakyada ako sa paglaban sa sarong paghiro nin mga bantay sa likod sa desensyo nin &quot;midle-class▁interests. &quot;&quot; well, kun an &quot;midle classsances&quot; kaiba an pagparigon sa boot nin pagkalaenlaen asin indibiduwal na pagpili, an probisyon na makatanosan na mga pan - enganyar asin balos para sa abilidad asin kahigosan, an pagmantener nin epektibong mga kaolangan tumang sa sobrang kapangyarihan kan Estado asin paniniwala sa mahiwas na pagwaras nin indibiduwal na pribadong rogaring, kun siring sinda nanggad an pinagmamaigotan kong idepensa. Bako ining laban para sa &quot;pribilehio&quot;; Iyan pakikilaban para sa katalingkasan para sa lambang siudadano.

* '''en:''' Requests for the [[m:bot|bot]] flag should be made on this page. This wiki uses the [[m:bot policy|standard bot policy]], and allows [[m:bot policy#Global_bots|global bots]] and [[m:bot policy#Automatic_approval|automatic approval of certain types of bots]]. Other bots should apply below, and then [[m:Steward requests/Bot status|request access]] from a steward if there is no objection.

== Request for Administratorship ==

Hello! I would like to extend my help in being an administrator for this newly-approved project. Currently there are templates and modules that I initially created that needed to be locked to secure the validity and the reliability of the project. Thank you.

== Bot policy ==

Hello. To facilitate [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|steward]] granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Bot policy|standard bot policy]] on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables [[m:Bot policy#Global_bots|global bots]] on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from [[Project:Bot policy]], and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Bot policy|the text at Meta-Wiki]] before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rs]][[User talk:Rschen7754|chen]][[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|7754]]''' 08:51, 14 Oktubre 2022 (PST)

The [[foundation:|Wikimedia Foundation]] tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems. 

All traffic will switch on '''{{#time:j xg|2023-03-01|en}}'''. The test will start at '''[https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/{{#time:U|2023-03-01T14:00|en}} {{#time:H:i e|2023-03-01T14:00}}]'''.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in [[mw:Manual:What is MediaWiki?|MediaWiki]], all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future. 

'''You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.'''

*You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on {{#time:l j xg Y|2023-03-01|en}}.
*If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

''Other effects'':

*Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
* We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]] will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

This project may be postponed if necessary.  You can [[wikitech:Switch_Datacenter|read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org]]. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. '''Please share this information with your community.'''&lt;/div&gt;&lt;section end=&quot;server-switch&quot;/&gt;

Hello,

As follow-up to [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/IOMVS7W75ZYMABQGOQ2QH2JAURC3CHGH/ the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines] by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:

* Community members in good standing
* Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
* Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
* Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
* Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
* Confidently able to communicate in English

The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.

The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/U4C_Building_Committee/Nominations|sign up on the Meta-Wiki page]], or contact ucocproject[[File:At sign.svg|16x16px|link=|(_AT_)]]wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023.

== The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
''[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Updates/2023-10 for sister projects|Read this in your language]] • &lt;span class=plainlinks&gt;[https://mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&amp;group=page-Reading%2FWeb%2FDesktop+Improvements%2FUpdates%2F2023-10+for+sister+projects&amp;language=&amp;action=page&amp;filter= {{Int:please-translate}}]&lt;/span&gt; • Please tell other users about these changes''

Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the [[mw:Reading/Web|Wikimedia Foundation Web team]]. '''In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.'''
[[File:Desktop Improvements - how to enable globally.png|thumb|[[Special:GlobalPreferences|{{int:globalpreferences}}]]]]
'''If you prefer keeping the current skin''' select &quot;Vector legacy (2010)&quot; on [[Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|the appearance tab of the global preferences]] and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.

Since I last came to you with this question, many things have changed. The skin is now the default on most Wikipedias, and all logos are done! We have also made some tweaks in the skin itself. Below is the text I've sent to you once, but I'm sending it again, just slightly edited, for those who haven't seen it.

If you know what this is about, jump straight to the section &quot;Our plan&quot;: 
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left:.5em; border-left:3px dotted #a2a9b1; padding-left:.5em;&quot;&gt;
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|local]] (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

=== About the skin ===
[[File:Wikimania 2022 Vector (2022) Presentation.pdf|thumb|Slides to our Wikimania 2022 presentation. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC-ItaXDe2A You may also listen to the recording on YouTube (in English)].]]
'''[Why is a change necessary]''' When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. [[wmfblog:2022/08/18/prioritizing-equity-within-wikipedias-new-desktop/|The old Vector does not meet their needs]].

'''[Objective]''' The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey|Community Wishlist Surveys]], and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. [[phab:phame/post/view/290/how_and_why_we_moved_our_skins_to_mustache/|The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%]]. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[[File:Screenshot of the Vector-2022 skin's fullscreen toggle.png|thumb]]
'''[Changes in a nutshell]''' The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
* The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
* The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
* The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
* The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
* The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
'''[Customize this skin]''' It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Repository|the repository]] for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.
&lt;/div&gt;

Dear all,

This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections committee|Elections Committee]] will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. 

Here are the key planned dates:

*  May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
*  June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
*  June-August 2024: Campaign period
*  End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
*  October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
*  Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024|this Meta-wiki page]], and make your plan.

'''Election Volunteers'''

Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024/Election Volunteers|Meta-wiki page]].

Best regards,

[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.&lt;section end=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;

Hello everyone,

After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Ratification/Voting#Electoral Commission|Charter Electoral Commission]] is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.  

As [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Movement Charter#Thank you for your participation in the Movement Charter ratification vote!|communicated]] by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on '''July 9, 23:59 UTC'''. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.

The final results of the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter|Wikimedia Movement Charter]] ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows: 

'''Individual vote:'''

Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, '''1,710''' voted “yes”; '''623''' voted “no”; and '''113''' selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).

'''Affiliates vote:'''

Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, '''93''' voted “yes”; '''18''' voted “no”; and '''18''' selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).

'''Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:'''

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted '''not to ratify''' the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/Board_resolution_and_vote_on_the_proposed_Movement_Charter|shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps]].  

With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is '''not ratified'''.

We thank you for your participation in this important moment in our movement’s governance.

The Charter Electoral Commission,

Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|the project page]].

'''We want your feedback''' to make sure this feature works well for you:

* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing#Test|Please try]] the current state of development on beta wiki and [[m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|let us know what you think]]. 
* [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing/Sign-up|Sign up here]] to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.

[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Deutschland|Wikimedia Deutschland]]’s [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes|Technical Wishes]] team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.

Please help us spread the message. --[[m:User:Johannes Richter (WMDE)|Johannes Richter (WMDE)]] ([[m:User talk:Johannes Richter (WMDE)|talk]]) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024|2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election]]. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.

The following four candidates were the most voted:

# [[User:Kritzolina|Christel Steigenberger]]
# [[User:Nadzik|Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz]]
# [[User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]]
# [[User:Laurentius|Lorenzo Losa]]

While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the ''Wikidata item'' sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the '''General''' section into the '''In Other Projects''' section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin.

''(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)''

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. 

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]]. Thank you in advance! -- [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|&lt;span class=&quot;signature-talk&quot;&gt;{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}&lt;/span&gt;]]) 23:27, 22 Mayo 2025 (PST)

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].

'''Call for Questions'''

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]

'''Election Volunteers'''

Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

Dear Wikimedia Community,

The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]]  of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].

A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.

Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.

Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.

Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.

Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.

=== Wikispore ===

The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.

After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support. 

We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.

As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.

Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.

=== Wikinews ===

We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.

Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf &lt;nowiki&gt;[1]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 &lt;nowiki&gt;[2]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F &lt;nowiki&gt;[3]&lt;/nowiki&gt;] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.

While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews &lt;nowiki&gt;[4]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F &lt;nowiki&gt;[5]&lt;/nowiki&gt;, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? &lt;nowiki&gt;[6]&lt;/nowiki&gt;].

[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.

Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.

SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.

'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.

=== Feedback and next steps ===

We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.

I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes ==

''(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)''

Hello everyone, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlists]] and [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
[[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]]

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|project task page]]. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated [[m:Talk:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects/Clearer_Wikidata_Edit_Summaries/Resolve_Labels|Talk page]].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;body&quot;/&gt;
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.

Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate. 

'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''

Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect. 

Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.

'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;~2025-12345-67&lt;/code&gt; (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.

'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''

'''For logged-out editors'''

* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.

'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''

* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.

'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''

* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.

'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''

* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.
