Dear MediaWiki community, in case you are running/working with your own MediaWiki installation, please spend 15-20 minutes to fill out our MediaWiki survey. Results will be shared at the MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2026 (November 11-13, Ljubljana, Slovenia) [1] https://survey.knowledge.wiki/index.php/716248 The research project ECHOLOT [2] is trying to learn more about use cases of MediaWiki outside of the original projects of the Wikimedia Foundation. We put a special focus on the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries Archives and Museum), but are welcoming also responses from other sectors like private or public organizations, or research and education).

* there are grave mistakes in original message. (a) it must be Template:LGPLv2.1+ NOT Template:LGPLv2.1 and its link. (1) (b) 14 instead of 13 license texts. * licence text of (a) gnu agpl, gpl 1,2,3, lgpl "only" version is copied from spdx gnu licenses webpages (2) (b) gnu agpl, gpl 1,2,3, lgpl "or later" version is copied from gnu present (3) and old (4) licenses webpages. * lgpl 3 or later text is copied from Template:LGPLv2.1+. * patch file of my intended changes (lic.patch).

edit and add 13 license text files of gnu agpl, gpl and lgpl only on mediawiki-extensions-WikimediaMessages
by vujivn＠tutamail.com 02 May '26

hello mediawiki devs, * who am i: fix bare urls (1) and upload videos of app issues to commons wiki. (2) * "wm-license-lgpl-text" : (a) after bit of sarcastic imploring, found the source of messages in mediawiki-extensions-WikimediaMessages/i18n/licensetexts/en.json per ais. (3) (b) used in Template:LGPLv2.1 (4) on commons wiki (c) to future proof file name must be changed (reason below) (d) issue: is version 3 link necessary ? * desired file name: "wm-license-lgpl21-text" or "wm-license-lgpl2+-text" * for now add another 13 standard license headers of gnu agpl, gpl and lgpl. usecase: to add them to existing commons wiki gnu templates. why: (a) existing templates use template:autotranslate and it requires maintenance of several language translations (b) translations are handled by experienced translators or can create another language text by copy paste from unofficial translations (5) * limitations and work: (a) dont have access to desktop or laptop (use git and resolve until merge) (b) can use termux and git on my android device (c) create diff or patch files with android emacs * your thoughts: will permit to add more license texts regards, কল্কি (kalki) (1) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special%3ACentralAuth%2F%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%… (2) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles?limit=500&user=কল্কি (3) https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-WikimediaMessages/blob/e7… (4) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:LGPLv2.1 (5) https://www.gnu.org/licenses/translations.html
