Hi everyone,
Today the Wikipedia 20 team has published the landing page for Wikipedia 20
Grants[1] hoping that it can be a useful resource for the communities
planning to hold a Wikipedia 20 celebratory event. It would be great if you
can help translate it into as many languages as possible.
Thank you so much!

Hello
On October 27, all the traffic from the wikis will be switched to the
secondary data center (like we did in 2018, and on September 1st, 2020). It
means that *all wikis will be in read-only mode on October 27 around 14:00
UTC, for up to 60 minutes*.
A message to inform our communities has been written, to be sent to wikis:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch_2020
Direct translation link:

&action=page&filter=
I overall kept the previous messages, but I made some small changes, and
added one message. Please review all messages.
More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on
individual wikis on week 43 (the week before, starting on Monday 19).
Please inform your community about this event!
Thank you for your help,
Benoît

Hi all. We're preparing to start the process to choose the official name
for the new Wikimedia wiki for functions, currently codenamed Wikilambda. 2
requests:
1. Page-translation request: Your expertise here would be appreciated.
Getting even just the first few sections in as many languages as possible
would be great. We will also re-use this intro content for announcements,
and at the main project page.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Wiki_of_functions_naming…
2. Name-reviewers: I'd like to get a group of multilingual people who are
willing to help to check each of the proposed names, to make sure that (1)
we aren't considering any bad choices (e.g. names that contain rude words
in other languages), (2) that can give feedback on which of the names would
work well (or badly) when localized into your language(s).
If you'd like to help with this, please add your signature to the list
here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Abstract_Wikipedia/Wiki_of_functions_n…
- I will then contact you in a week with the initial list of names to
check, and then a week later once all the proposals have been submitted.
Thank you immensely!
Nick / Quiddity
