=== Technical news ===

[Semi-protection] is now active on all wikis. Semi-protection of a page prevents unregistered editors and editors with very new accounts editing that page. "Very new" is currently defined as four days. Sysops can change the status of a page. Making a policy to use this on your wiki is advisable http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.misc/26616 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Semi-protection_policy - for policy inspiration for your homewiki

[Recentchanges] You can now hide your own edits in the "recent changes" by adding a option to [[MediaWiki:Showhideminor]]. See for examples http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=05009

[Undelete] Sysops can view the deleted pages. The view changed of those deleted pages is now changed. The revisions are now displayed as the wiki source code. http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-February/006108.html

[Pipeline] - it is not yet so but it seems likely that soon bureaucrats will be able to give the bot flag. "Bot flag" means that a user gets the status that it is a "bot", a computer program that makes edits on the wiki. With the bot flag on users have the option to exclude the edits of that user class from recent changes. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.misc/26621

=== Request for Comments ===

=== Media ===

[Babylon] is announcing the the have made a deal with the Wikimedia Foundation. And it looks like it is true. But there is no real information about it from the WMF yet. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation/6263

=== Did you know ... ===

=== MediaZilla-IRC Quotes ===

- Tried the outside world before. Didn't like it too much. Can't edit it; can't even view source... - [jwales] By sheer chance, the tree was close enough to an open free wifi port, so I was able to get on irc from the tree. - [Raul654] ...so, since we're boned both ways, we might as well make a policy - If there is nothing wrong, then something is seriously wrong.
