]Wikimedia notification system
2008-11-19
This is a global notification system for all Wikimedia wikis!
If it is necessary to inform many/all wikis about something important, a global notification can be requested at meta:Global notifications/requests. It is possible to have wiki and/or language dependent text within every message.
All Meta notifications are synchronized automatically, either on all wikis or just on specific, selected ones.
To have a common access point, the messages are updated at Usuari:WikimediaNotifier/notifications (mirrored, any changes to this page will be overwritten; use a separate page for translation); you can include this page(s) like a template wherever you want, let's say your village pump, with a description in your language!
Have a look on the Frequently Asked Questions to see how it can fit your needs!
- With SynchCrosswiki there furthermore is an easy way to create or synchronize pages like user scripts on all wikis!
… it's for spreading information; and for a better cross-wiki communication & collaboration!

GNU Free Documentation License 1.3
2008-11-03
The GNU Free Documentation License has been released in version 1.3 by its responsible Free Software Foundation.
This is not least a result of a request by our Board of Trustees in December 2007, trying to offer us a possibility to also license and share our wiki contents under the easier to use Creative Commons CC-BY-SA (Attribution + ShareAlike) license.
The Wikimedia Foundation will soon organize a community wide referendum to decide whether our GNU FDL licensed wikis should be made availabe under the terms of this free and common CC-BY-SA license too, see dual-licensing.

Namespace: Image => File
2008-11-19
 |
As there are not just images located in the "Image:" namespace, this will become a general "File:" namespace in some days [by the next software update]!
When live, the actual namespace prefix in titles and URLs will be different, according to your language. " [[File:]] instead of [[Image:]]! |

Global bots
2008-11-01
On Meta, a bot account now can get a bot flag for all wikis that allow global bots!
To be able to run also on your Viquipèdia, the community has to explicitly permit global bots by local policy, see list.
To qualify for global bot access, the following requirements must be met by a bot:
- it must only maintain interlanguage links or fix double-redirects
- it must already be active on several wikis, with long-term contributions to back up its trustworthiness

Software localization
2008-11-01
The localization of Viquipèdia's software (MediaWiki) and its extensions is an ongoing task!
Thus, there are statistics about how much of the core messages and system messages in total have been translated so far.
Please help translating our software at Betawiki (=TranslateWiki); have a look on the recent localization activity for your language [català].
