== Proposal for [[Archive of Archives]], representation of GLAM topics ==

Partly in the light of [[d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Notability policy reform]], and given that this is already for several years a wiki-in-search-of-purpose (other than the excellent newsletter!), I would like to propose one.

We need a place to represent GLAM topics in archives/collections/catalogs, that don't necessarily have external identifiers or meet Wikipedia standards of notability, but that are vitally useful for outreach and our partnerships with under-resourced cultural institutions. This proposal would build on the [[m:Wikispore Basic]] concept, and on the following grant: [[m:Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wikidata-ArchivesSpace GLAM plugin (ID: 23096591)]]. I've also submitted to present about this idea at the upcoming Wikimania in July 2026. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 22:44, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

:I'm not sure what you mean about characterizing this wiki as in need of purpose, but I support your porposal. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 23:20, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks, I just meant that there were perhaps more opportunities to differentiate further beyond something that looks like a more specialized Meta-Wiki. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 18:15, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:::You generally have good intentions and are a smart and valued member of the community, so I personally trust your judgement. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 00:54, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] @[[User:Koavf|Koavf]] was Meta-Wiki not set to be inward coordination wiki and Outreach-wiki as outward facing wiki? I think it failed to find not purpose but resources to shape in the way that it is more accessible to Wikimedia GLAM+EDU partners/newbies - no?  I would love if this Wiki would have its [[Talk:About Outreach wiki#interesting decision to have this redirect|About page rather then just redirect]] :-)  [[User:Zblace|Zblace]] ([[User talk:Zblace|talk]]) 02:05, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

:This wiki generally would be fine for outward-facing GLAM and education work.

== Social media campaign suggestion ==

Hello, not sure if this is the best place to post this so pls lmk if elsewhere is better.

I really like the recent social media campaign WMF is running lately, where interesting things about/on Wikipedia are being introduced. While these are all great, they're very readership focused and a little surface level.

Imo what would be really helpful is if WMF made entertaining explainers about how Wikipedia works. E.g. this kind of format: [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RhheYbgT89Q]

For example, a really wide misunderstanding is whether Wikipedia has &quot;mods&quot;; many incorrectly assume Wikipedia admins are basically like Reddit mods: all-powerful and with strong control over Wikipedia's content. At least for the English Wikipedia, that's not true. Vids could be made to address this misconception. Would need multiple vids on this topic, spread out over time; it's so widespread and information will take a while to disseminate.

Other possible topics include:
* Explaining how article deletions/deletion nominations work (also really misunderstood)
* Introducing the various parts of Wikipedia, like talk pages, the Teahouse, etc
* Introducing various interesting tools Wikipedians use, like anti-vandal stuff, Twinkle, and AutoWikiBrowser.

However, in addition that &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed (as we don’t have that user group locally), for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt; we should either allow local bureaucrats to grant (in addition to removing) it, as they can currently remove that permission but ''not'' grant it, or that ability should be removed, therefore allowing stewards to handle requests for importer permissions.

Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 17:10, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:I don't know the exact specifics here, but Outreach was a weird and rare wiki where bureaucrats could at will add other bureaucrats (this is how I got these rights, in fact). So the way this wiki was configured was very different in that narrow respect than hundreds of other WMF wikis. Why that happened is a mystery for the ages, but the community here has decided to bring it more in line with other standard WMF wikis, so if you're pointing out an issue that needs to be resolved, I think the community would agree. I personally have no strong feelings about it. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 17:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
:: I will summarize this:
::# &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed as we do not have that user group locally, or if it's created here, then we should allow admins to grant and remove it.
::# There are two options for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt;: allow bureaucrats to also grant it in addition to removing, or remove that and allow stewards to grant and revoke importer permissions.

: [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], I filed [[phab:T431959]]. After careful consideration (and because Outreach is not listed at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Importer|the Meta page about importers]]), after that ticket is done only stewards will be able to grant and remove importer permissions, unless the community (if available at all) wants to request bureaucrats to grant and revoke importer permissions locally.

Hello! There will be two '''[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9 Wikimedia Café]''' discussion opportunities in July. Both sessions will focus on Wikimedia governance, including possible follow-ups to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter Movement Charter] and options for reform. Participants may attend either or both Café sessions. 

This month, to deconflict the Café meetups from Wikimania, the meetups will be held one day later than usual.

Hello! There will be two '''[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9 Wikimedia Café]''' discussion opportunities in October. In a change from the usual Café practice, this month's sessions will have different topics. Anyone who meets the Café attendance criteria is welcome to attend either or both sessions.

Session A will happen on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792854000 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe. This session will feature [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PBradley-WMF Wikimedia Foundation lawyer Phil Bradley-Schmieg]. We will discuss legal issues on Wikimedia Commons, including complexities of international law. (I am hoping that in a future month, a similar Café session will be offered at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific.)

Session B will happen on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 03:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792897200 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific, we will discuss [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposed changes to how Wikimedia Foundation Board candidates are selected]. The latest proposals are much different from the earlier July 2026 proposals. The due date for feedback on current proposals is 27 October, and Wikimedians are welcome to participate on the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposal talk page] regardless of Café attendance.

== Proposal for [[Archive of Archives]], representation of GLAM topics ==

Partly in the light of [[d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Notability policy reform]], and given that this is already for several years a wiki-in-search-of-purpose (other than the excellent newsletter!), I would like to propose one.

We need a place to represent GLAM topics in archives/collections/catalogs, that don't necessarily have external identifiers or meet Wikipedia standards of notability, but that are vitally useful for outreach and our partnerships with under-resourced cultural institutions. This proposal would build on the [[m:Wikispore Basic]] concept, and on the following grant: [[m:Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wikidata-ArchivesSpace GLAM plugin (ID: 23096591)]]. I've also submitted to present about this idea at the upcoming Wikimania in July 2026. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 22:44, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

:I'm not sure what you mean about characterizing this wiki as in need of purpose, but I support your porposal. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 23:20, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] @[[User:Koavf|Koavf]] was Meta-Wiki not set to be inward coordination wiki and Outreach-wiki as outward facing wiki?

== Social media campaign suggestion ==

Hello, not sure if this is the best place to post this so pls lmk if elsewhere is better.

I really like the recent social media campaign WMF is running lately, where interesting things about/on Wikipedia are being introduced. While these are all great, they're very readership focused and a little surface level.

Imo what would be really helpful is if WMF made entertaining explainers about how Wikipedia works. E.g. this kind of format: [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RhheYbgT89Q]

For example, a really wide misunderstanding is whether Wikipedia has &quot;mods&quot;; many incorrectly assume Wikipedia admins are basically like Reddit mods: all-powerful and with strong control over Wikipedia's content. At least for the English Wikipedia, that's not true. Vids could be made to address this misconception. Would need multiple vids on this topic, spread out over time; it's so widespread and information will take a while to disseminate.

Other possible topics include:
* Explaining how article deletions/deletion nominations work (also really misunderstood)
* Introducing the various parts of Wikipedia, like talk pages, the Teahouse, etc
* Introducing various interesting tools Wikipedians use, like anti-vandal stuff, Twinkle, and AutoWikiBrowser.

== Issue on [[Special:ListGroupRights]] ==

On noc.wikimedia.org within core-Permissions.php, I noticed this under $wgRemoveGroups:
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;php&quot;&gt;
'+outreachwiki' =&gt; [
	'bureaucrat' =&gt; [
		'sysop', 'autopatrolled', 'import',
	],
],
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
The above says that bureaucrats can remove administrator, autopatroller and importer user groups. However, in addition that &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed (as we don’t have that user group locally), for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt; we should either allow local bureaucrats to grant (in addition to removing) it, as they can currently remove that permission but ''not'' grant it, or that ability should be removed, therefore allowing stewards to handle requests for importer permissions.

Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 17:10, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:I don't know the exact specifics here, but Outreach was a weird and rare wiki where bureaucrats could at will add other bureaucrats (this is how I got these rights, in fact). So the way this wiki was configured was very different in that narrow respect than hundreds of other WMF wikis. Why that happened is a mystery for the ages, but the community here has decided to bring it more in line with other standard WMF wikis, so if you're pointing out an issue that needs to be resolved, I think the community would agree. I personally have no strong feelings about it. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 17:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
:: I will summarize this:
::# &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed as we do not have that user group locally, or if it's created here, then we should allow admins to grant and remove it.
::# There are two options for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt;: allow bureaucrats to also grant it in addition to removing, or remove that and allow stewards to grant and revoke importer permissions.

: [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], I filed [[phab:T431959]]. After careful consideration (and because Outreach is not listed at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Importer|the Meta page about importers]]), after that ticket is done only stewards will be able to grant and remove importer permissions, unless the community (if available at all) wants to request bureaucrats to grant and revoke importer permissions locally.

(I am hoping that in a future month, a similar Café session will be offered at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific.)

Session B will happen on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 03:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792897200 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific, we will discuss [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposed changes to how Wikimedia Foundation Board candidates are selected]. The latest proposals are much different from the earlier July 2026 proposals. The due date for feedback on current proposals is 27 October, and Wikimedians are welcome to participate on the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposal talk page] regardless of Café attendance.

== Proposal for [[Archive of Archives]], representation of GLAM topics ==

Partly in the light of [[d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Notability policy reform]], and given that this is already for several years a wiki-in-search-of-purpose (other than the excellent newsletter!), I would like to propose one.

We need a place to represent GLAM topics in archives/collections/catalogs, that don't necessarily have external identifiers or meet Wikipedia standards of notability, but that are vitally useful for outreach and our partnerships with under-resourced cultural institutions. This proposal would build on the [[m:Wikispore Basic]] concept, and on the following grant: [[m:Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wikidata-ArchivesSpace GLAM plugin (ID: 23096591)]]. I've also submitted to present about this idea at the upcoming Wikimania in July 2026. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 22:44, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

:I'm not sure what you mean about characterizing this wiki as in need of purpose, but I support your porposal. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 23:20, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks, I just meant that there were perhaps more opportunities to differentiate further beyond something that looks like a more specialized Meta-Wiki. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 18:15, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] @[[User:Koavf|Koavf]] was Meta-Wiki not set to be inward coordination wiki and Outreach-wiki as outward facing wiki? I think it failed to find not purpose but resources to shape in the way that it is more accessible to Wikimedia GLAM+EDU partners/newbies - no?  I would love if this Wiki would have its [[Talk:About Outreach wiki#interesting decision to have this redirect|About page rather then just redirect]] :-)  [[User:Zblace|Zblace]] ([[User talk:Zblace|talk]]) 02:05, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

== Social media campaign suggestion ==

Hello, not sure if this is the best place to post this so pls lmk if elsewhere is better.

I really like the recent social media campaign WMF is running lately, where interesting things about/on Wikipedia are being introduced. While these are all great, they're very readership focused and a little surface level.

Imo what would be really helpful is if WMF made entertaining explainers about how Wikipedia works. E.g. this kind of format: [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RhheYbgT89Q]

For example, a really wide misunderstanding is whether Wikipedia has &quot;mods&quot;; many incorrectly assume Wikipedia admins are basically like Reddit mods: all-powerful and with strong control over Wikipedia's content. At least for the English Wikipedia, that's not true. Vids could be made to address this misconception. Would need multiple vids on this topic, spread out over time; it's so widespread and information will take a while to disseminate.

Other possible topics include:
* Explaining how article deletions/deletion nominations work (also really misunderstood)
* Introducing the various parts of Wikipedia, like talk pages, the Teahouse, etc
* Introducing various interesting tools Wikipedians use, like anti-vandal stuff, Twinkle, and AutoWikiBrowser.

However, in addition that &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed (as we don’t have that user group locally), for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt; we should either allow local bureaucrats to grant (in addition to removing) it, as they can currently remove that permission but ''not'' grant it, or that ability should be removed, therefore allowing stewards to handle requests for importer permissions.

Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 17:10, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:I don't know the exact specifics here, but Outreach was a weird and rare wiki where bureaucrats could at will add other bureaucrats (this is how I got these rights, in fact). So the way this wiki was configured was very different in that narrow respect than hundreds of other WMF wikis. Why that happened is a mystery for the ages, but the community here has decided to bring it more in line with other standard WMF wikis, so if you're pointing out an issue that needs to be resolved, I think the community would agree. I personally have no strong feelings about it. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 17:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
:: I will summarize this:
::# &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed as we do not have that user group locally, or if it's created here, then we should allow admins to grant and remove it.
::# There are two options for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt;: allow bureaucrats to also grant it in addition to removing, or remove that and allow stewards to grant and revoke importer permissions.

: [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], I filed [[phab:T431959]]. After careful consideration (and because Outreach is not listed at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Importer|the Meta page about importers]]), after that ticket is done only stewards will be able to grant and remove importer permissions, unless the community (if available at all) wants to request bureaucrats to grant and revoke importer permissions locally.

Hello! There will be two '''[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9 Wikimedia Café]''' discussion opportunities in October. In a change from the usual Café practice, this month's sessions will have different topics. Anyone who meets the Café attendance criteria is welcome to attend either or both sessions.

Session A will happen on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792854000 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe. This session will feature [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PBradley-WMF Wikimedia Foundation lawyer Phil Bradley-Schmieg]. We will discuss legal issues on Wikimedia Commons, including complexities of international law. (I am hoping that in a future month, a similar Café session will be offered at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific.)

Session B will happen on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 03:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792897200 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific, we will discuss [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposed changes to how Wikimedia Foundation Board candidates are selected]. The latest proposals are much different from the earlier July 2026 proposals. The due date for feedback on current proposals is 27 October, and Wikimedians are welcome to participate on the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposal talk page] regardless of Café attendance.

== Proposal for [[Archive of Archives]], representation of GLAM topics ==

Partly in the light of [[d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Notability policy reform]], and given that this is already for several years a wiki-in-search-of-purpose (other than the excellent newsletter!), I would like to propose one.

We need a place to represent GLAM topics in archives/collections/catalogs, that don't necessarily have external identifiers or meet Wikipedia standards of notability, but that are vitally useful for outreach and our partnerships with under-resourced cultural institutions. This proposal would build on the [[m:Wikispore Basic]] concept, and on the following grant: [[m:Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wikidata-ArchivesSpace GLAM plugin (ID: 23096591)]]. I've also submitted to present about this idea at the upcoming Wikimania in July 2026. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 22:44, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

:I'm not sure what you mean about characterizing this wiki as in need of purpose, but I support your porposal. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 23:20, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] @[[User:Koavf|Koavf]] was Meta-Wiki not set to be inward coordination wiki and Outreach-wiki as outward facing wiki?

== Social media campaign suggestion ==

Hello, not sure if this is the best place to post this so pls lmk if elsewhere is better.

I really like the recent social media campaign WMF is running lately, where interesting things about/on Wikipedia are being introduced. While these are all great, they're very readership focused and a little surface level.

Imo what would be really helpful is if WMF made entertaining explainers about how Wikipedia works. E.g. this kind of format: [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RhheYbgT89Q]

For example, a really wide misunderstanding is whether Wikipedia has &quot;mods&quot;; many incorrectly assume Wikipedia admins are basically like Reddit mods: all-powerful and with strong control over Wikipedia's content. At least for the English Wikipedia, that's not true. Vids could be made to address this misconception. Would need multiple vids on this topic, spread out over time; it's so widespread and information will take a while to disseminate.

Other possible topics include:
* Explaining how article deletions/deletion nominations work (also really misunderstood)
* Introducing the various parts of Wikipedia, like talk pages, the Teahouse, etc
* Introducing various interesting tools Wikipedians use, like anti-vandal stuff, Twinkle, and AutoWikiBrowser.

== Issue on [[Special:ListGroupRights]] ==

On noc.wikimedia.org within core-Permissions.php, I noticed this under $wgRemoveGroups:
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;php&quot;&gt;
'+outreachwiki' =&gt; [
	'bureaucrat' =&gt; [
		'sysop', 'autopatrolled', 'import',
	],
],
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
The above says that bureaucrats can remove administrator, autopatroller and importer user groups. However, in addition that &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed (as we don’t have that user group locally), for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt; we should either allow local bureaucrats to grant (in addition to removing) it, as they can currently remove that permission but ''not'' grant it, or that ability should be removed, therefore allowing stewards to handle requests for importer permissions.

Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 17:10, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:I don't know the exact specifics here, but Outreach was a weird and rare wiki where bureaucrats could at will add other bureaucrats (this is how I got these rights, in fact). So the way this wiki was configured was very different in that narrow respect than hundreds of other WMF wikis. Why that happened is a mystery for the ages, but the community here has decided to bring it more in line with other standard WMF wikis, so if you're pointing out an issue that needs to be resolved, I think the community would agree. I personally have no strong feelings about it. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 17:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
:: I will summarize this:
::# &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed as we do not have that user group locally, or if it's created here, then we should allow admins to grant and remove it.
::# There are two options for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt;: allow bureaucrats to also grant it in addition to removing, or remove that and allow stewards to grant and revoke importer permissions.

: [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], I filed [[phab:T431959]]. After careful consideration (and because Outreach is not listed at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Importer|the Meta page about importers]]), after that ticket is done only stewards will be able to grant and remove importer permissions, unless the community (if available at all) wants to request bureaucrats to grant and revoke importer permissions locally.

Hello! There will be two '''[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9 Wikimedia Café]''' discussion opportunities in October. In a change from the usual Café practice, this month's sessions will have different topics. Anyone who meets the Café attendance criteria is welcome to attend either or both sessions.

Session A will happen on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792854000 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe. This session will feature [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PBradley-WMF Wikimedia Foundation lawyer Phil Bradley-Schmieg]. We will discuss legal issues on Wikimedia Commons, including complexities of international law. (I am hoping that in a future month, a similar Café session will be offered at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific.)

Session B will happen on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 03:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792897200 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific, we will discuss [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposed changes to how Wikimedia Foundation Board candidates are selected]. The latest proposals are much different from the earlier July 2026 proposals. The due date for feedback on current proposals is 27 October, and Wikimedians are welcome to participate on the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposal talk page] regardless of Café attendance.

Please see the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9 Café] page for more information, including [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9#How_to_attend_the_session how to register]!

== Proposal for [[Archive of Archives]], representation of GLAM topics ==

Partly in the light of [[d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Notability policy reform]], and given that this is already for several years a wiki-in-search-of-purpose (other than the excellent newsletter!), I would like to propose one.

We need a place to represent GLAM topics in archives/collections/catalogs, that don't necessarily have external identifiers or meet Wikipedia standards of notability, but that are vitally useful for outreach and our partnerships with under-resourced cultural institutions. This proposal would build on the [[m:Wikispore Basic]] concept, and on the following grant: [[m:Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wikidata-ArchivesSpace GLAM plugin (ID: 23096591)]]. I've also submitted to present about this idea at the upcoming Wikimania in July 2026. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 22:44, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

:I'm not sure what you mean about characterizing this wiki as in need of purpose, but I support your porposal. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 23:20, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks, I just meant that there were perhaps more opportunities to differentiate further beyond something that looks like a more specialized Meta-Wiki. [[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 18:15, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:::You generally have good intentions and are a smart and valued member of the community, so I personally trust your judgement. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 00:54, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] @[[User:Koavf|Koavf]] was Meta-Wiki not set to be inward coordination wiki and Outreach-wiki as outward facing wiki? I think it failed to find not purpose but resources to shape in the way that it is more accessible to Wikimedia GLAM+EDU partners/newbies - no?  I would love if this Wiki would have its [[Talk:About Outreach wiki#interesting decision to have this redirect|About page rather then just redirect]] :-)  [[User:Zblace|Zblace]] ([[User talk:Zblace|talk]]) 02:05, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

:This wiki generally would be fine for outward-facing GLAM and education work.

== Social media campaign suggestion ==

Hello, not sure if this is the best place to post this so pls lmk if elsewhere is better.

I really like the recent social media campaign WMF is running lately, where interesting things about/on Wikipedia are being introduced. While these are all great, they're very readership focused and a little surface level.

Imo what would be really helpful is if WMF made entertaining explainers about how Wikipedia works. E.g. this kind of format: [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RhheYbgT89Q]

For example, a really wide misunderstanding is whether Wikipedia has &quot;mods&quot;; many incorrectly assume Wikipedia admins are basically like Reddit mods: all-powerful and with strong control over Wikipedia's content. At least for the English Wikipedia, that's not true. Vids could be made to address this misconception. Would need multiple vids on this topic, spread out over time; it's so widespread and information will take a while to disseminate.

Other possible topics include:
* Explaining how article deletions/deletion nominations work (also really misunderstood)
* Introducing the various parts of Wikipedia, like talk pages, the Teahouse, etc
* Introducing various interesting tools Wikipedians use, like anti-vandal stuff, Twinkle, and AutoWikiBrowser.

== Issue on [[Special:ListGroupRights]] ==

On noc.wikimedia.org within core-Permissions.php, I noticed this under $wgRemoveGroups:
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;php&quot;&gt;
'+outreachwiki' =&gt; [
	'bureaucrat' =&gt; [
		'sysop', 'autopatrolled', 'import',
	],
],
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
The above says that bureaucrats can remove administrator, autopatroller and importer user groups. However, in addition that &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed (as we don’t have that user group locally), for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt; we should either allow local bureaucrats to grant (in addition to removing) it, as they can currently remove that permission but ''not'' grant it, or that ability should be removed, therefore allowing stewards to handle requests for importer permissions.

Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 17:10, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:I don't know the exact specifics here, but Outreach was a weird and rare wiki where bureaucrats could at will add other bureaucrats (this is how I got these rights, in fact). So the way this wiki was configured was very different in that narrow respect than hundreds of other WMF wikis. Why that happened is a mystery for the ages, but the community here has decided to bring it more in line with other standard WMF wikis, so if you're pointing out an issue that needs to be resolved, I think the community would agree. I personally have no strong feelings about it. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 17:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
:: I will summarize this:
::# &lt;code&gt;autopatrolled&lt;/code&gt; should be removed as we do not have that user group locally, or if it's created here, then we should allow admins to grant and remove it.
::# There are two options for &lt;code&gt;importer&lt;/code&gt;: allow bureaucrats to also grant it in addition to removing, or remove that and allow stewards to grant and revoke importer permissions.

After careful consideration (and because Outreach is not listed at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Importer|the Meta page about importers]]), after that ticket is done only stewards will be able to grant and remove importer permissions, unless the community (if available at all) wants to request bureaucrats to grant and revoke importer permissions locally.

Hello! There will be two '''[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9 Wikimedia Café]''' discussion opportunities in October. In a change from the usual Café practice, this month's sessions will have different topics. Anyone who meets the Café attendance criteria is welcome to attend either or both sessions.

Session A will happen on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792854000 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe. This session will feature [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PBradley-WMF Wikimedia Foundation lawyer Phil Bradley-Schmieg]. We will discuss legal issues on Wikimedia Commons, including complexities of international law. (I am hoping that in a future month, a similar Café session will be offered at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific.)

Session B will happen on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 03:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1792897200 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific, we will discuss [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposed changes to how Wikimedia Foundation Board candidates are selected]. The latest proposals are much different from the earlier July 2026 proposals. The due date for feedback on current proposals is 27 October, and Wikimedians are welcome to participate on the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2027/Proposed_eligibility_criteria proposal talk page] regardless of Café attendance.

== FinlayEscobedo‎ ==

[[User:Steinsplitter|Steinsplitter]], I just wanted to thank you for deleting and blocking FinlayEscobedo‎. I saw those edits in the recent changes too, and while they certainly seemed spammy and not in good faith to me, I wasn't sure if I should take care of it. Because, although I'm an admin here on Outreach wiki, I'm also WMF staff. I'd figured that it wouldn't be long until someone else saw it and took care of it, and, sure enough, you did! (You know, I'd actually predicted that you might be the one to do it!) :) And, to be honest, that was a relief. I definitely don't mind removing spam, as an admin, and as a member of this community who cares about it. But I wonder if people here think that it's better if volunteers do the policing. I also don't mind alerting other admins to possible vandalism, if it's helpful, but I'd hate to be told &lt;nowiki&gt;{{sofixit}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; in response. It's tough to know what's best to do... What do you advise in such cases? And if I were to want to reach out to other Outreach admins, how/where is the best place to do so? Thanks, Steinsplitter.

== Request for Adminship ==

Hi there Steinsplitter.

I am one of the more active users here on Outreach for the past few weeks and plan to stay active here on this wiki for as long as possible.  I am already a translation administrator and plan to keep contributing and translating pieces of texts with the translation extension.  Looking at [[Special:ListUsers]], it doesn't look like many administrators here on this wiki have that many edits.  I currently have 150+.  Thank you for your time and consideration.  [[User:Akifumii|&lt;span style=&quot;color:#CC0000&quot;&gt;'''A'''&lt;/span&gt;]][[User_talk:Akifumii|&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#736F6E&quot;&gt;''2''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;]]  04:02, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
:Rights granted. Steinsplitter, in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bundle these together since if Akifumii messes up something on the translation extension, it would be best for them to clean it up since it can be a bear to clean out the mistakes for that extension.

== An important message about renaming users ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Dear Steinsplitter,

I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide [[mw:SUL finalisation|single-user login finalisation]] (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at [[m:Global rename policy|the global rename policy]], a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects. 

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed. 

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called [[m:Global renamers|Global renamers]]. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the [[m:SRGP|requests for global permissions]] page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to [[:m:SRUC|the request page for a global rename]].

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the [[m:SUL|Help:Unified login]] page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for [[m:Talk:Global renamers|global renamers]]. You can also contact me on [[m:User talk:Keegan (WMF)|my talk page on meta]] if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time.

== How we will see unregistered users ==

&lt;section begin=content/&gt;
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.
