[ edit this template] Welcome to the Wikimedia Foundation wiki

Thanks for being here! This wiki does not exactly follow the same rules as the other Wikimedia projects, since it is not open to all for editing, and in case of disagreement, the organ of decision will be the Board. A rule of thumb however is that if we gave you access, that means we trust you. So please, do not be shy in editing this site. There is ample work for everyone :-) --MZMcBride 01:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

What's up? --MZMcBride 01:22, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm in the middle of trying to fix some other issues, will add your tweaks back when I'm done. Pcoombe 01:23, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool. Thanks. :-) --MZMcBride 01:23, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank You/en
Thank you so much for implementing the redesigned version of Thank You/en. :-) I think it looks so much better, and I know that the fundraising team is crazy busy right now, so I really appreciate that this was able to get implemented so quickly. --MZMcBride 06:04, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No, thank you! It really does look much better. I'll have a go at making a rotator for the stories when I get some time. Pcoombe 18:18, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Template:Languages
Hi. The above-linked template doesn't currently work for country-language (or is it language-country?) codes, that I can see. Look at Problems donating/es-es, for example. This can probably be fixed, just wanted to let you know that not all of the translations are being shown to readers for pages that use that schema, in the meantime.

Deletion of volunteer translations
Hi, it seems like a waste of effort to delete volunteer translations. Can a disclaimer be put on them saying they aren't legally binding? Or at the very least transferred onto meta for people who only speak a language that wasn't professionally translated? Legoktm (talk) 05:09, 28 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey, sorry I didn't see this earlier. It is a shame, but the consensus here was that deletion was safer than a disclaimer (which we would also have had to get translated). I'm hoping we can soon get some more professional translations done into other languages. Pcoombe (WMF) (talk) 14:02, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok then, can we get them exported to meta then? Thanks, Legoktm (talk) 03:57, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That's not really an option sorry. The point is that we don't want donors to see tax information that could potentially be incorrect, disclaimer or not. This is based on advice from our legal department. Pcoombe (WMF) (talk) 16:48, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Ways to Give/en
Hi Peter, I'm working on seeing if we can improve Ways to Give for the non-English speakers and am hoping you can help! From what I understand we have Ways to Give which redirects to Ways to Give/en, with Ways to Give/es and Ways to Give/it as language variant subpages, and Ways to Give/ru as a redirect to Способы пожертвований.

For all the other languages when you click on the "Other ways to give link" at the bottom of here as an example, you're taken to the English page Ways to Give/en. On the bottom of that Ways to Give page are links to other language versions, so to take Portuguese as an example, clicking on that link will take you to Coleta de fundos, which is an old fundraising page from 2008, not a page which gives information about the other ways to give. Please can we delete those old pages, unlink them from Ways to Give/en and start getting translations for the new page? The helpful  one  14:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
