Dear community members,

The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees invites you to give feedback on a draft Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle. This draft Procedure outlines proposed steps and requirements for opening and closing Wikimedia Sibling Projects, and aims to ensure any newly approved projects are set up for success. This is separate from the procedures for opening or closing language versions of projects, which is handled by the Language Committee or closing projects policy.

You can find the details on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.

You can also share information about this with the interested project communities you work with or support, and you can also help us translate the procedure into more languages, so people can join the discussions in their own language.

On behalf of the CAC,

On behalf of the CEC,

So I was translating the title of Manual:$wgRC2UDPPrefix to Spanish but it marked my translation unconstructive because it was the same thing, tho is like that because $wgRC2UDPPrefix is obviously not being translated and Manual is the same in Spanish

Thanks for the feedback, but the filter is necessary to prevent vandals from adding fake translations that only admins can delete. You changed nothing on the translation, so effectively there's nothing lost by rejecting your edit. When you get sufficient edit history on this wiki, some of those filters will no longer apply to your edits.

We have redesigned the Wikibase landing page to use a template for its content, matching the mediawiki.org landing page. The new page simply calls the template and should not be in the translation system any more.

The template Template:Wikibase main page is only used on Wikibase. I propose moving the template directly to Wikibase.

My understanding was that the indirect template inclusion was necessary to implement the custom stylesheet via "templatestyles". Is that in fact unnecessary to have a custom stylesheet?

It seems that the base page does not need to be a template, as it can be written as src=":Wikibase/styles.css".

The only problem is that Wikibase/styles.css is wikitext by default. However, there are solutions:

• An admin can go to Special:ChangeContentModel/Wikibase/styles.css and create it as a TemplateStyles stylesheet. (Or you can just move the page already created in the template namespace to the mainspace.)
• Actually, it’s technically not necessary for the stylesheet to be a subpage of the page using it. Subpages help a lot us people to find the connection, but it’s not technically enforced. So you could include Template:Wikibase main page/styles.css directly from Wikibase.

I think if you just move the page to a new name it retains the content model.

Regardless of whether Template:Wikibase main page is moved to Wikibase, the latter needs a language bar.

Could someone review Template talk:Localized link#Edit request? Thanks. Note that a previous iteration of the changes caused unforeseen errors.

The dates on the headers of conversations often don't match the latest comment. Is this a problem due to misconfiguration here or a bug in the software?

I dont see it (all the dates look correct to me)... but flow is marked for death so its probably going to go away sooner than later anyways.

The date on the header reflects the latest comment – even if that comment has been hidden/deleted (e.g. for being a test edit), in which case of course you won’t perceive it as the latest comment (as you won’t see it); yet the date in the header will still take it into account.
