It is not an official notice from the Foundation though, since it
would affect the project globally, I think it is highly recommended to
inform each community. I invite you interested translators to bring
the news below to your favorite language community.

=== Technical news ===
[username(a)foobar.com] - New accounts on the WMF-wikis can not longer be created
if the username contains the @-symbol. Existing users who have that symbol in
there username can still login but only temporary. All these users need to
request for a username change. Contact a local bureaucrat to do that or ask a
steward if your wiki does not have a bureaucrat.
