A time-sensitive request for translation
by Erica Litrenta 15 May '16

15 May '16

Hello everyone. I'm here to kindly request a time-sensitive translation [1] of a few interface messages. Those are included in this small group: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=ext-visuale… I'll list them here anyway for your convenience, particularly in case you want to create them "manually", by replacing "en" with your language code: *https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Visualeditor-welcomedialog-switch-ve/en <https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Visualeditor-welcomedialog-switch-…>* https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:visualeditor-welcomedialog-action/… https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:visualeditor-welcomedialog-content… https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:visualeditor-welcomedialog-content… https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:visualeditor-welcomedialog-switch/… https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:visualeditor-welcomedialog-title/en In many cases you'll find out that they already exist and you only need to create the first one (yay). Thank you so much for your constant, precious support. Elitre (WMF) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration [1] These messages are related to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133800 (which, as announced on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/20, will land on wikis next week). You'll find more details on the task itself.

Please add your ideas here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Quarterly_planning/FY2016-2017/Q1 It is worth mentioning that this quarter, is most likely to be packed with pending tasks, so there might not be much room for new ideas, but that doesn't mean that we can always add and discuss Happy weekend!

Cross wiki notifications: announcement and documentation
by Benoît Evellin (Trizek) 11 May '16

11 May '16

Cross wiki notifications will be released by default on *May 12 at 23:00 UTC*. Documentation has been updated and need translations: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-He… During the beta phase, the cross-wiki notifications feature was enabled by over 18,000 accounts across more than 360 wikis. We receive great feedback from a lot of very happy users. After that 3-months long beta period during which we made adjustments, that feature will be released by default on May 12 at 23:00 UTC. Users who don't want to receive cross-wiki notifications can turn them off at individual wikis. More information is available on the documentation <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3ANotifications%2FCross-wi…>. The talk page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Notifications> is still open for any questions or feedback. Do not hesitate to spread that information on your wiki! :) Thanks, Benoît -- Benoît Evellin (Trizek) Community Liaison Wikimedia Foundation
