/Please distribute this message widely/ *Call for referendum*: The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account. Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_filter_referendum shortly.

google news sitemap
by bawolff 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hey folks. For those of you not following bug 21919, the google news sitemap extension has progressed quite a bit. This extension was developed to give Wikinews 2 features: *(primarily) An alternative means of informing google what articles are published. Currently google screen scrapes the main page, this extension would provide a more machine readable interface for google. *It would also provide us with per category RSS feeds that are not toolserver hacks. ^demon recently enabled it on test wikipedia. I encourage everyone to test it out, make sure it works etc. The url is http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GoogleNewsSitemap for the xml sitemap, and http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GoogleNewsSitemap?feed=atom for the rss feed. It takes several other options, similar to DPL. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GoogleNewsSitemap for more information. At the moment, the version at testwiki has two issues - the flagged revs related options don't work, and certain system messages (things in mediawiki namespace) are replaced with <name of message>. Hopefully both those issues will be fixed soon. If you find anything else, please let me know. Cheers, bawolff
