I need help figuring out what to do about my wiki account, which is apparently under an Indian registration, though I'm American (I tried to fix this, but just HOURS prior to, had action against my account because of the username policy, there, so I don't have the perms.) I don't know if deleting it, entirely, is a potential solution, or if it can be worked out for it to just be reopened and then moved, or if I'm just "S.O.L." (sore outta luck)...

Dear community members,
The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees invites you to give feedback on a draft Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle. This draft Procedure outlines proposed steps and requirements for opening and closing Wikimedia Sibling Projects, and aims to ensure any newly approved projects are set up for success. This is separate from the procedures for opening or closing language versions of projects, which is handled by the Language Committee or closing projects policy.
You can find the details on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.
You can also share information about this with the interested project communities you work with or support, and you can also help us translate the procedure into more languages, so people can join the discussions in their own language.
On behalf of the CAC,

We have redesigned the Wikibase landing page to use a template for its content, matching the mediawiki.org landing page. The new page simply calls the template and should not be in the translation system any more.
The template Template:Wikibase main page is only used on Wikibase. I propose moving the template directly to Wikibase.
My understanding was that the indirect template inclusion was necessary to implement the custom stylesheet via "templatestyles". Is that in fact unnecessary to have a custom stylesheet?
It seems that the base page does not need to be a template, as it can be written as src=":Wikibase/styles.css".
The only problem is that Wikibase/styles.css is wikitext by default. However, there are solutions:
- An admin can go to Special:ChangeContentModel/Wikibase/styles.css and create it as a TemplateStyles stylesheet. (Or you can just move the page already created in the template namespace to the mainspace.)
- Actually, it’s technically not necessary for the stylesheet to be a subpage of the page using it. Subpages help a lot us people to find the connection, but it’s not technically enforced. So you could include Template:Wikibase main page/styles.css directly from Wikibase.
I think if you just move the page to a new name it retains the content model.
Could someone take a look at Template talk:Localized link#Edit request? Thanks!
.... apenas gostaria de manter links externos registrados para consultas posteriores , se este não é o espaço , poderia ,e conduzir ao espaço correto.
There are a lot of blogging sites out there you can use to write pages and add links. Even your browser has a feature called "bookmarks" where you can save links.
I tried to fix a broken link on this page Professional development and consulting at an external link that goes to Yaron Koren's Working with Mediawiki book but it returned an error, please how do i fix it ?
This has been fixed, thanks
Also on this page User:Wladek92, i found this link to be incorrect https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/classMessage.htmlCan this be used to replace it ??
you should report the incorrect link on the disussion page associated to the article as described in the first steps for beginners.
I think after having created your account 4 days ago better is to start by learning the first steps of how to contribute.
Thanks @Wladek92, i have already begun doing that, thankfully the documentations are quite detailed, but i would appreciate some help fixing this...if you have pointers i would be happy if you can share
For example, the link to "pre 1.1.0" on the Manual:$wgSitename/ja page is broken.
Make the following changes:
- Replace "pre 1.1.0" with "before 1.1.0" in the argument "version_min" of {{SettingSummary}}.
- Make "before 1.1.0" translatable (in the template).
Done. You can translate this string in Template:SettingSummary
Could someone add an easy way to view Template:Localized link/testcases in different language codes? Thanks!
I included the test cases on Template:Localized link.
That works. Thanks!
I asked an available Steward for a Glock, that was granted. Now there's some cleanup needed: Special:Contributions/Furkan.4730. Ciao, M7 (talk) 20:37, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello all,
The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can sign up on this wiki page.
This is a participant-driven meeting, where we share language-specific updates related to various projects, collectively discuss technical issues related to language wikis, and work together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, the topics included the machine translation service (MinT) and the languages and models it currently supports, localization efforts from the Kiwix team, and technical challenges with numerical sorting in files used on Bengali Wikisource.
Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates related to your project? Any problems that you would like to bring for discussion during the meeting? Do you need interpretation support from English to another language? Please reach out to me at ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org and add agenda items to the document here.
We look forward to your participation!
