Subject: Permalinks for talk pages will be deployed on Monday
To: Wikitech Ambassadors <wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello
Starting on Monday, a change will be visible on talk pages or pages where
discussions happen: the Editing team will deploy talk page permalinks.
In short, any comment posted on a talk page will get a unique
identifier, the permalink, stored in a database. It will make it possible
to find a comment, even if it was moved elsewhere.
The main visible changes are:
- The timestamp becomes a link. You get the permalink by clicking or
taping on the timestamp attached to the comment.
- If you click on any link to a comment, and this comment was moved
elsewhere (for instance for achieving), you get a message with a link to
the comment
- When you are directed to a given comment, this cimment is highlighted,
and the URL contains the unique ID for this message.
You can learn more about how this feature works at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:DiscussionTools#Talk_pages_permalinking
.
Translations for the documentation are welcomed:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Gr…
All comments, even the older ones, will get a permalink, as far as they
have a proper signature.
This change will not be available on English Wikipedia for the moment, as
the database is not filled yet.
It is available on Desktop and Mobile view, but not on the iOS and Android
apps.
It will not affect talk pages using StructuredDiscussions/Flow and
LiquidThreads.
This change will be publicized in Tech News and on the Diff. Please share
it with your community!
All the best,
Benoît

Dear translators,
My name is Ramzy from the Committee Support team at Wikimedia Foundation,
which is currently supporting the planned ratification vote
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Comm…>
for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) charter.
As usual, we would like to send announcements to village pumps and
community noticeboards to invite them to vote. We have translated the
following materials to several languages, and would like your help to
update them or start a new translation into a language that is not yet
available to ensure an equitable level of participation throughout the
Wikimedia communities in this vote:
- Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter/Announcement
- voting opens
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Comm…>
- Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter/Announcement
- voting reminder
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Comm…>
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
Thank you very much.
Best,
Ramzy
Hello everyone! The Technical Wishes project at Wikimedia Deutschland wants
to send information on a feature for creating maps with Kartographer to
different wikis.
I will notify about this on village pumps, and it would help enormously to
have many translations for that announcement:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Thereza_Mengs_(WMDE)/Geopoint_Announce…
Your help translating this message by December 12, 8 am (Berlin time) would
be much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance,
Thereza for Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes
