]Wikimedia notification system
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 Implijer: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
2009-04-12
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.
See also a detailed summary for further reading.(source) On Meta you can find further information (FAQ) and can discuss the licensing update process of our wikis.
| A vote on Meta is taking place from April 12, 2009 to May 3, 2009. |
