Bureaucrats should now again have the option to rename a user-account to another name, given that the name of the new user-account does not yet exist (see special pages). It also looks like the original limit, stating that only users with less then 6800 edits can be renamed, is still valid. Using Kate's tool, users can check themselves their number of edits doesn't exceed this limit. If your wiki does not have a formal policy for renaming users, please make sure at least that all users requesting to be renamed have placed a properly signed request on your wiki themselves. This to cover your ass as a bureaucrat. http://tools.wikimedia.de/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits -[Fancy nicks]- For nicks including tags, such as <font color="red"> color tags, it was found that many times the closing tag, in this case </font> had been left out, messing up pages. The MediaWiki software has been changed because of this. Wiki markup and HTML markup do no longer function in the Nickname field any longer, unless the Raw signatures option is checked in your preferences. The current version has been tested and found to be secure against scripts, too. For more information follow the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_fix_your_signature === Global === -[Wikimentary] a project about making documentaries of Wikimedia from uncut source video made at Wikimania 2005. This project is looking for people to help. "WIKIMANIA-ROUGH_CUT.mov" is a work-in-progress documentary, 11min, QuickTime, 316 MB. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation/5246 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimentary http://www.archive.org/details/WIKIMANIA-ROUGH_CUT.mov -[Wikimania 2006] is on it's way in being organized. There are many things that need to be done for the organization of this event. To see how to help go to [[meta:Wikimania 2006]] or at ask at wikimania-l http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006 http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l -[Catalan Wikipedia]- The second Wikipedia to be created after the original English Wikipedia, has reached 20,000 articles. http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viquip%C3%A8dia:Twenty_thousand_articles_in_Catalan === Media === -[Award] the Wikimedia Foundation was awarded a World Technology Award in communication, joining the ranks of other World Technology Network members. (no article about this in WikipediaEN yet) http://www.wtn.net/2005/summit/ === Stats === -[Stats]- ERRATUM: In number 0 of Wikizine we wrote that "Erim Zachte" has created the new stats. This is not correct. This is of course Erik Zachte ([[w:nl:Gebruiker:Erik_Zachte]]), also the creator of Wikipedia for Pocket PC, Palm, EPOC and EasyTimeline. http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/EN/Sitemap.htm http://infodisiac.com/Wikipedia/ === Other news === -[Wikizine]- a new information channel for the Wikimedia community came into being. http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/announce-l === Quote === "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing." -Jimmy Wales, July 2004 === Editorial comment === The number of our readers has increased by +/- 110 subscribers, to a total of 160 since last week.
