What more exactly does this mean for editors? What is the enhanced changes format more specifically?

It was included in the issue of Tech News that went out yesterday.

(Not too many options, but already more technical than usual this week.)

OK, I'll revisit it tomorrow and decide. Thank you for tagging it either way. (:

@cscott Just making sure, since it was marked with user-notice (thank you, always appreciated): Is this relevant to folks who wouldn't be reached by an email to engineeering-l and/or wikitech-l? I.e. folks who deal with local scripts on their specific wikis and so on?

We'll go through all posts and report back on around June 28.

(As this has been marked with user-notice.)

Finally, what the purpose of this exercice ? To force people who are years long contributors to WP to stop their activities ?

Will branch cut for 1.30.0-wmf.3 today in an optimistic attempt keep branching on schedule

Keeping track of it. Tentatively adding contradictory information to Tech News; will remove whatever's not relevant come Monday.

@Dereckson Just ping me when you have the date and all other relevant information, and I'll add it to Tech News.

Sorry, accidentally closed the wrong task yesterday. Done now, anyway.

We no longer have the ability to set up banners on special pages.

Something like this? I'm trying to

Yes.

Have created tickets for Danish, Norwegian, German, French and Spanish with data from Eurobarometers 386 and 243; for Arabic, Persian and Polish with data from Sveriges språk i siffror – Vilka språk talas och av hur många? by Mikael Parkvall.

(With that said, a third category is when you put up something for translation and end up with twenty languages and get Latin, two variations of Portuguese, two variations of Norwegian, but not German or Japanese, and on the last day start looking around for someone to translate the most important languages, in terms of numbers of speakers/Wikimedians, or number of speakers/Wikimedians who don't understand English.)
