Thanks for your comments on the logos. That's really encouraging. Do you know what happened with the all logo selection and voting? There is no activity on the subject pages for a long time now. DeliDumrul 23:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I want to withdraw the logo offers I put down, therefore delete the related entries on the new logo page. In accordance, can I remove your comment too? DeliDumrul 06:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

List of Hangeul syllables

Hi, you asked me about 칵 and kak (khak). OK... In syllable-initial position, ㅋ is always aspirated, unlike ㄱ or ㄲ. So we can safely leave out the <h> letter. --Kjoonlee 02:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Correct revision?

Hi, sorry, I saw your message just now. The revision is correct (more or less... it's a translation from italian to venetian, but with some errors, I'll check it as soon as I can), you don't need to rollback it. Cheers, Candalua 13:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Template:Welcome

Hello Zyephyrus, welcome to the multilingual Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here.

This wiki is the original Wikisource wiki, originally hosting works in many languages. The larger collections have been spawned into separate projects, leaving this wiki to serve as a central collaboration point, and as an environment where works without a language subdomain can be begin. Refer to our Languages list to see which languages still reside on this wiki.

Most questions and discussions about the community are in the Scriptorium.

The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page! --LaosLos 09:30, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Je pense que si tu fais servir le modèle comme ça: {{subst:Welcome|--~~~~}}, il marche.

J'ai ajouté deux points de plus subst::pagename, pour changer d'espace Pourquoi tu veux changer d'espace? Peut-être je n'ai pas compris le problème. Ce modèle est pour l'espace User, n'est-ce pas?

--LaosLos 09:30, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Zyephyrus

How are you doing?

Sorry for this delay, but I was a little confused about this multilingual section. I still have to read some things to see what it is exactly, as I am used to the Wikisourse in Portuguese language. Give me some time and, when I have some doubts, I will come to you for some help, is that fine?

Once again, thanks so much for the first message. Hugs, Manoel-Rio 20:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Zyephyrus

Thanks for your welcome. I am sure under the guidelines of the senior people like you my contribution will run smoothly.

Number of pages

Hi, Zyephyrus,

I've noticed that the main page on Multilingual Wikisource shows the total number of pages on Portuguese Wikisource wrongly. Instead of "+ 17 000", Portuguese Wikisource has "+ 81 000". Can that be fixed somehow? Best wishes, Manoel Fernández^Msg 00:09, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Zyephyrus, thanks for the reply. I really do agree with that. We also had the same discussion somewhere on Portuguese Wikisource, but no one came to a conclusion as the matter is a little difficult to be solved (but not impossible, I shall say). Counting pages as new books is completely wrong and books whichever language they may be, there will be considerable different pages, giving the wrong idea of numbers of books on a Source. But, let's wait and see what is going to be done about that. I hope it comes to an end still this year (as the fact really needs attention). Best wishes, Manoel Fernández^Msg 10:56, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Me again. I left a message to you on French Wikisource and was tempted to read the messages on the Scriptorium and, for my surprise, there is a "topic" about us? Not that you can't do it, but people saying that what we do is "inutile" and that dictionaires do not count for the statistics, that is unfair. Have you all discussed about the English Wikisource and the dictionaires they have there? Most of them have one page for each entry and just because we put dictionaires on our source, we are less important? Zyephyrus, this is not fair with us. I only asked you to update an information and all I had was a couple of pages where the discussion is going on and nothing else. It seems to me that this is something about who has more here and there and I never came here to ask you to update something because "we are second"; I never said that. If that was the matter to me, I would never be contributing to English Wikisource, as they are first and I want to reach them. But, instead, I contribute to English Wikisource when I have the time and this is what we all have to do, apart from this nonsense thing of who is first and second: try and spread the knowledge somehow, no matter in which language. Remember: I never wrote any word about "being second" or "second place", because this is not what counts to me, but instead the right to work in a place where information are updated and reliable. Sorry for the words, but I am feeling really hurt with this all, but who cares other than myself? I am just someone who is trying to make it better for everyone. Now, back to my work on Portuguese Wikisource and whereelse I am welcome to work and there is no need to update the information on the main page. Best wishes, Manoel Fernández^Msg 12:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Zyephyrus, I told you that this is a problem and some people discussed that somewhere on Portuguese Wikisource, when I was not an active user there. I always thought counting all pages was not right, but only complete books. This should be what counts most, but finding a solution is difficult, I know. I am thinking about something and will let you know soon. Best wishes, Manoel Fernández^Msg 14:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your welcome

I'm very grateful for this project and proud of taking part in it. I will profit your french user page. Congratulations.

Problème avec l'affichage en mode page

Bonjour,

J'ai signalé un problème avec l'affichage en mode page à ThomasV (talk • contribs • global contribs), mais il n'a pas le temps de s'en occuper. J'ai transmis à -jkb-, qui m'a conseillé de t'en parler. Peux-tu voir ça ? Kouign-amann 20:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Copie de la conversation :

Bonjour,

Peux-tu regarder ce qui se passe, par exemple, sur Ar rannoù ? Il y a des liens rouges vers Page:Ar rannoù. Je ne sais pas exactement si c'est un bug ou si on est censé créer cette page (et y :mettre quoi ?). Bizarrement, d'après Vigneron, ces liens n'apparaissent pas avec Internet Explorer.

D'autre part, quand on édite une page dans l'espace Index:, le formulaire donne beaucoup moins de champs que celui de la Wikisource en français. Par exemple, on n'a pas de champ pour le traducteur, le :sommaire, etc. Est-ce un problème de version du logiciel ? Kouign-amann 14:37, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

je suppose que les liens en rouge viennent de iwpage.

pour les champs, c'est une question de configuration : un admin doit mettre à jour MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_attributes et MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template. Je n'ai pas trop le temps de m'en occuper, mais si tu ne trouve personne je peux supprimer la protection de ces pages.

ThomasV 17:08, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Champs en cours de mise à jour ; mais pour les liens, je n'ai pas trouvé ce qui les cause. --Zyephyrus 00:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Merci pour la mise à jour.

Pour les liens rouges c’est toujours le même problème : les sections ne sont pas prévus pour s’étendre en double sur plusieurs pages. Du coup, la balise pages est perdue et transclus tout, y compris le iwpage (c’est lui le lien rouge en fait, sur IE le javascript pour iwpage ne fonctionne pas ce qui explique que les transclusions n’apparaissent pas donc les liens rouges non plus). Pour le moment, sur les éditions bilingues (pourtant la majorité des œuvres), j’ai peur que l’on ne puisse pas utiliser la balise page.

Cdlt, VIGNERON 08:22, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

iwpage, c'est-à-dire template:iwpage ? Dans ce cas, il serait peut-être possible de modifier le modèle et/ou la css pour pouvoir le rendre invisible, par exemple avec un style="display:none;" bien placé ? Kouign-amann 09:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Lui même. Cela aurait pu être une bonne idée, sauf qu'il doit être visible ailleurs (et puis ce modèle fait appel à une classe qui fait appel à du javascript, donc pas simple de le modifier ; ceci dit, il me semble avoir lu quelque part qu'il est en cours de révision, notamment d'adaptation pour IE). Cdlt, VIGNERON 12:15, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

On ne pourrait même pas l'encadrer avec un truc du genre <span class="QWORFMPL"> … </span>, juste histoire de pouvoir empêcher l'affichage de cette classe dans une feuille de style ? Kouign-amann 12:47, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Du même avis que Vigneron  : je ne peux pas agir sur ce modèle dans l'immédiat car il est aussi employé ailleurs ; j'attends que le bogue soit traité ou que Thomas trouve un peu de temps. --Zyephyrus 16:18, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

problem with proofread

Hi, ThomasV told me that you added some new fields like Scans and Progress, but they seem not be working properly... See Index:Le Rime Veneziane e Il Minuetto.djvu, it asks me for a {{Source}} parameter that I cannot find anymore... And what are the possible values for Progress? I cannot figure that out... Candalua 10:25, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, maybe I have understand... in MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index attributes we've got "Scans", but it should be "Source" (not the other way round, since existing pages all use source). Also, I don't understand why you dropped the Image field... what's wrong with having the cover image in the index page? Last one: in MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index template we've got {{DEFAULTSORT:{{{Key|}}}}}, but we don't have a "Key" field... why not simply use {{DEFAULTSORT:{{PAGENAME}}}}? Candalua 10:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Candalua. Image cover is back, the missing fields Source and Key have been added. Seems to work on your index, please check, is everything all right? The Progress parameter isn't built yet. Thanks and regards, --Zyephyrus 16:31, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, everything seems alright, many thanks. Ok for the "Key" field, but it will be also useful to have {{PAGENAME}} as default sort (see Category:Index, pages are being categorised by default under "I"). However this is a minor issue. Thanks again, ciao Candalua 08:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Dankie / Thank You

Fr.wikisource templates

Hi! You imported some templates from fr.wikisource in September (link). Are these still needed? Looks like they're not used anywhere, but if they're needed they should probably be moved into the template namespace. Regards, Jafeluv 19:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah les joies de l’importation !

Une chose est sure : il ne faut pas laisser ces modèles ainsi.

Après, il faut faire le tri entre ce qu’il faut juste supprimer et ce qu’il faut renommer. Globalement, il faudrait les conserver/renommer. Par contre, pour le renommage, gare au collision Modèle:E et Template:E ne font pas du tout la même chose.

Ces collisions sont « normales », par contre (je jongle régulièrement avec sur les importations sur le wiktionary), tu as fait une petite erreur, dans special:import tu as du oublier de préciser la namespace de destination (ce qui t’aurait éviter une partie des problèmes).

Cdlt, VIGNERON 21:06, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Hello, I am new to wiki-anything and I can't find my way in this maze. I can speak, read, write and translate hindi, marathi, sanskrit and to a large extent english into each other. I also have a little knowledge of HML etc that I will have to brush up. I am still unable to figure out what all I can do on wiki-which, as in, there's a wikisource, there's wikimedia, then there's something where translations are going on, and so on and so forth.

Can you please guide me in what way I can be useful? Yaajushi 04:32, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help

Thank you sir. The help on editing was the most useful.

I suppose articles are translated from one language to other. I couldn't find out anything about it. I can translate from english to hindi/marathi/sanskrit. I just can't figure out what to do with the articles I translate.

Thanks again.

Do you think these are ready?

Zyephyrus, Do you think my Bot request has consensus for flagging?

Also, any thoughts on consensus regarding my request for transwiki importer rights? I know you can't action that one but it will probably be best if it's closed by a local crat who contacts a steward (I do not understand why this right, which is part of the standard sysop-bundle, cannot be granted by crats - but that's another thread, which you might want to comment on ;-)).

Thanks.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 11:03, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I had another one, I'm having a problem where I log-in at en.ws and then come here and I don't stay logged in. Could you revdel the following:

• edit 1 (edit and user ID - signed logged out edit)
• edit 2 (edit and user ID - signed logged out edit)
• edit 3 (just the edit as my signature didn't overwrite the IP signature)

Sorry, I didn't notice this issue until it was too late. I did this from work, at home I have a GreaseMonkey script to prevent this. Thanks.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 18:08, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, it seems to show here as well, [4] I'm not sure why as it looks like the previous edit, which I can't see when I click on it. Sorry for all the trouble.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 18:01, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Should be fixed now. Could you check it again? --Ooswesthoesbes 04:55, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

All set, thanks! Again, sorry for the trouble.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 06:17, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

BTW, could one of you look at my thread above? If it's not enough for consensus yet that's fine, just let me know. Or if I should be posting to WS:Bureaucrats with such requests, though the second and more important one is simply asking for someone to close the discussion if it's ready, since it needs a Steward; and I thought I'd be more likely to be seen here.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 06:17, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Jeesh, there's one left here that can also be seen as the previous edit here. I really apologize for all this trouble. I've had to do this on en.wp before for others and found it quite complex and painful. I appreciate all the help.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 12:32, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

You will of course know, that this thread is incomplete. It is supposed to be the 4 Gospels in P.U.L.'s Irish, but only Matthew's Gospel is present, and incomplete. I am doing parallel work, and offering to the generator of this thread, my work, so (s)he can add to this thread with minimum effort. I have just finished pages 167 - 172, and posted the results to the address I gave. This is a Box.net site, which is a mirror of a folder on my computer. It should be completely safe.

Hi Zyephyrus,

Thanks for the message on my TalkPage. I appreciate this though I'm more familiar with this project than you might think. I used to be Patio (or a variation of this screen name) on many Wikimedia Foundation projects. Since there are more I had to choose a different name for creating a SUL.

Funny that our names are similar :-). Cheers,  Klaas|Z4␟V:  12:18, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

अमर शहीद राम प्रसाद 'बिस्मिल' की आत्मकथा

Hello, I am completely new to Wikisource. Hence, I am unaware of the rules here. However, I need to find out whether the page above is fit to stay here. Can you please have a look and point out to me if things are all right with this page and if not, what is wrong? Thanks in advance! Rahul Bott (talk) 14:40, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

P. S. : I'm more than willing to help you with translation in case that proves to be a hurdle.

An important message about renaming users

Dear Zyephyrus,

I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

WikiEditor custom button tip

Just a FYI since I noticed you 'playing' with custom WikiEditor buttons...

You can hide/show any WikiEditor button per the namespace(s) you want/don't want a button to be generated in using the 'filters': parameter. For example, to only show the "Welcome" button in the User: & User talk: namespaces, you'd add the 'filters': parameter as depicted below....

/* Accueil */
if ( typeof $j != 'undefined' && typeof $j.fn.wikiEditor != 'undefined' ) {$j( function() {
    $j( '#wpTextbox1' ).wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', {
      'section': 'advanced',
      'group': 'format',
      'tools': {'Welcome': {
          label: 'Welcome',
          filters: [ 'body.ns-2, body.ns-3' ],
          type: 'button',
          icon: 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/Button_accueilA.png',
          action: {type: 'encapsulate',
            options: { pre: "{{Welcome}}~~",  post: "~~}}"
}}}}});});}

Hope that helps - any questions ask me over on en.WS. -- George Orwell III (talk) 22:02, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Some more times I have seen that you cahnge the visibility of deleted pages (you hide the version). Why? Just beside the fact, that you would get some troubles on the german WP (it will not be hidden in such cases), it has no sense: if you delete a page, so it can be read by admins only; if you hide it, so it is the same, it can be read by admins only.

It.source style for complex tables

Hi Zyephyrus, I see that you are a fr.source user too, and I'm a fan of that project - my effort is, to try anything for emulate and develop the excellent ideas of that project.

If you like, take a look to User:Alex brollo/Table, where I uploaded a pretty complex it.source table. To visualize its format, you'd need to upload into your common.css the css code you'll find into the same page; the key template Cs is already running. If you like the result, and if you thing that the needed code could be useful for other users here, please consider to add css into MediaWiki:Common.css. If fr.source has some better code to get the same result, please let me known about.

I'd like too, to have your opinion about nap.source "tools block", but this is far more complex and needs en doc to understand what it can do; many functions are vaguely related to your fr.source "mise en page". --Alex brollo (talk) 09:19, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Update of Template:Table

I imported into it.source the beautiful fr:Template:Table in its Lua version; I see that here Template:Table is a copy of a previous, not-Lua version of the fr.source template. I'd like to import here fr:Model:Table and the "bridge" related template, but I see that the running template is used here and there into pages different from nap.source ones. Can I boldly try to update the template? Can you help me to see if there's any drawback/wasting of others work from my try? --Alex brollo (talk) 09:36, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Congratulations for France's win in the 2018 FIFA World Cup

Hello, Zyephyrus! Though I don't know whether do you either like football, but I still want to bring my congratulations for the victory of France in the current Football World Cup, since (as far as I know) you are also from France. :) The today's playing of the French team during the Final was excellent (maybe except some game flaws which are yet needless to be talked about), and though I was feeling myself, during watching that match, rather as supporter of the Croatia team (perhaps based on the thought that for the Russia's team, who before had lost to the Croatia's team, it would be more honourable to be losers from the team which subsequently became the final champion of the whole tournament), nevertheless I am sure France honestly and undoubtedly deserves to become winners at this championship. :) Hope that the French people feel joy from this tournament, and also feel joy (or at least, don't feel sad) from our country (Russia) which hosted it. Good luck :) --Nigmont (talk) 20:58, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Maybe check AbuseLog before inviting accounts without contribution? Ankry (talk) 07:47, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

I don't desire to invite spambots, certainly not :-)

Can you find a way for welcoming all visitors, spambots excepted? Welcoming visitors is important too.

Ideas? What can we do? --Zyephyrus (talk) 22:05, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

100% agree. And no offence.

What about my suggestion above to check the AbuseLog while inviting visitors (accounts without edits)?

Most spambots use the following procedure:

• create an account
• attempt to make some spam-like edit (eg. about viagra or inviting to some private blog); in most cases this happens in the minute just after the account is created
• become sleeper account that may be used later or not.
• spambots are generally targeted to a single wiki; in most cases they do not create accounts elsewhere, except automatically created ones.

If at the invitation time there is an antry in the AbuseLog, you can check what exactly the account attempted to do. If there is no entry in the AbuseLog, or the entries there do not suggest a spambot action, the user is to be invited (or maybe even they need help because of a blocked edit). Admins like you or me can view the "details" of the edit attempt that has been blocked.

BTW, most "visitors" are not shown in recent changes (eg. if they come here after creating an account on another wiki. Only the accounts created primarily here are shown (and they often appear to be spambots...).

If we enable automatic invitation, we will not be able to avoid inviting spambots. Automatic software cannot identify them (or at least cannot do it yet) while a human can try. That is why I do not support enabling automating invitations. Ankry (talk) 15:41, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Request to de-flag BrolloBot

Some time ago I used User:BrolloBot to help a little bit about pages in Neapolitan; by now, nap.source has been created and active, and I don't need any more to drive a bot into mulwikisource. So, if an inactive bot account is anyway disturbing, please de-flag it. Thanks for the exciting experience, it has been a great opportunity to learn a lot. --Alex brollo (talk) 21:27, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Bonjour Zyephyrus, et tous mes meilleurs vœux pour cette nouvelle année qui débute.

Petite question : maintenant que le projet est sur son propre domaine, faut-il faire la demande pour supprimer toutes la pages relatives au projet, ou est-ce que ça se fait automatiquement après un certain temps ? Reptilien.19831209BE1 (talk) 13:04, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Done. (Candalua, merci de ton aide !) Et toi, Reptilien.19831209BE1, reçois mes vœux les plus chaleureux pour tes réussites ultérieures, et tes contributeurs aussi.

Bien amicalement,

--Zyephyrus (talk) 19:14, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for the links. I've just started to work with Wikisource. And I think that Kazakh project needs it's own subdomain. Can you help with it? --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 13:07, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS

Dear interface administrator,

This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.

There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.

As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.

Have a great day!

Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
