According to http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/CommonSettings.php.html ,
all Wikinews, all Wikiquote, all Wikibooks, English & German
Wiktionary and Serbian Wikipedia have the extension DynamicPageLists
enabled.
In Bugzilla there are 16 specific projects with open requsts to use
this extension. Probably more would request it if they knew about it.
What is the difference between WN, WQ, WB, en.WIKT, de.WIKT, sr.WP,
and the projects below?
Which metric can be used to judge if a project can or can't use DPLs?
At the moment it seems whether or not a project has this enabled is
arbitrary, and it's quite frustrating if users have no idea if this
functionality will ever be enabled.
The bugs and some relevant comments are listed below.
thanks,
Brianna

Bug 8563: Activate DynamicPageList2 or DynamicPageList on en-Wikisource
Bug 8672: Install DynamicPageList2 on all Wikinews projects (requests
specifically from FR, IT, PL, Bosnian) closed WONTFIX
Bug 8886: Install DynamicPageList extension for Vietnamese Wiktionary
Kellen (2005-09-22):
I was informed in #wikimedia-tech that DPLs are inefficient and experimental and
therefore would not be enabled on WB as the site is too large. =( Resolving as
WONTFIX.
Brion (2006-07-05) in reply to Kellen:
It should be ok on Wikibooks; we can always turn it off later.
Rob (2006-12-18):
We don't normally enable it all over the place since it's quite
expensive to run and not necessarily appropriate for an encyclopaedia.
Brion (2006-12-18):
We probably will never install DPL2. DynamicPageList itself is kind of
unreliable.
Most likely a replacement for both which is more targeted and works more cleanly
would be better.
Brion (2007-04-24):
DPL2 will not be installed anywhere. If specific things are required,
small, clean, purpose-built extensions which have known performance
characteristics are preferred.

As noted in other threads on several mailing lists, a few admin accounts
on en.wikipedia have been compromised recently, used to vandalize
high-traffic protected pages.
We're starting to roll out some additional protections against
password-guessing attacks, including but not limited to:
* Additional logging to better detect dictionary-style attacks
* Speed-bump measures against multiple failed logins
[But not that should DoS legitimate users. The traditional "lock out the
account after three tries" would make it trivial to lock out all the
site's sysops -- not wise. :)]
* Weak-password checks on existing sysops on our largest sites. Several
accounts have had their weak passwords invalidated and will need to
reset by mail before logging in again.
* Several targeted blocks against known cracking attempts.
Over the coming days we will additionally be rolling out more automated
password-strength checkers at login / set-password / change-password
time to reduce the danger of guessable passwords.
Please distribute this information as appropriate to your local
projects/languages.

I've set up a subversion user list:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/users.php
If you have subversion commit access, please create a file describing
yourself, at /USERINFO/<username>. The syntax is like MIME headers, see my
example at:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/USERINFO/tstarling?revision=21563
Current fields are name, URL and email, but I'd accept suggestions for
more. The idea of the email field is to eventually set up aliases for
everyone of the form <username>@svn.wikimedia.org. If you're worried about
spam, I would suggest including your email address encoded with ROT13, in
a field called encrypted-email.
