I got notified that this has been merged. Should it be put in tech news, being distributed on 20 April? How should I word the entry?

@Raine Benoit is out of office, I would appreciate it if you help with the wording of the entry.

@Ladsgroup @Izno would we like to be more specific on how soon this is happening?

Thank you @Pppery. I've got some questions:

All phase two wikis are ready for deployment. Strings have been translated and communities notified @PBradley-WMF @Jdrewniak.

@Johannes_Richter_WMDE hello, regarding the entry in tech news:

@Pginer-WMF and @Iniquity, is this good wording for tech news: The Universal Language Selector, the MediaWiki extension that enables users to change interface language, access other language versions of projects, and manage language settings, has been refreshed in Beta. The update introduces a more modern and simplified user experience.

@PBradley-WMF I am adding 6 more Wikipedias ready for deployment:

@mszwarc I see that this upcoming change is in review. Would it be ready for tech news this week? And how should we word it?

@Redmin how should this be worded for Tech News?

@TheDJ How does this sound for Tech News:

@Michael how does this sound for tech news?:

Hello, is this ready for announcement on Tech News? How should this be worded?

@Ladsgroup I have made the change however now, the announcement will need to to be more specific about when the users can expect the change. Also, this is a good link for this entry right https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Notifications? Please check the draft below to see if I have captured things well:

Hello, how should I word this for Tech News? @Saklad5

To finalise things, this is the final copy I am adding to Tech News:

Ok, how about this? "The InterwikiSorting extension, which enabled sorting of interwiki links, has been undeployed from Wikipedia. As a result, editors who had enabled interwiki link sorting in non-compact mode will now see links ordered by language code."

Hello @Ladsgroup , I did some reading on this extension and I'd like to know who this update is targeting. Is it the technical contributors? Or editors? Also please see if this captures the impact of this change:

@Jdrewniak, so there is no need to mention baby globe I guess? The main issue is about notices in general right? Also you can go ahead and deploy. Tech News English edition is technically ready on Friday. Monday is for broader distribution.

@Marostegui @Jelto how does this sound for a Tech News entry? I used the announcement to wikitech-l:

Hello @Jdlrobson-WMF, how should I word this for Tech News? Also which edition should this be featured in? Monday the 16th?

@EBernhardson thank you. Should it go out in Monday 16th's Tech News? (The wording suggests so, but I want to doublecheck)

@EBernhardson how should it be worded?

@matmarex It's a good time to start drafting for Tech News; how should I word it?

@SomeRandomDeveloper is this feature available on Wikipedia only?

How should this be worded for Tech News?

Hello @SomeRandomDeveloper , I am taking over from @UOzurumba. To double check, this feature will be available for the week of February 2, right?

How should we word this for Tech News? @cscott
