Under the Board Resolution: Delegation of Policy-Making Authority, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees delegated the authority to adopt, alter, and revoke policies to the Executive Director (Chief Executive Officer), who may further delegate such authority to the Wikimedia staff as they deem appropriate.

Incorrect numbering of API Terms section

Hello, the "13. API Terms" section is likely incorrectly numbered, given that it is directly after "11. Resolutions and Project Policies" and directly before "13. Termination". The last version titles it "12. API Terms". Diktatorship

Official announcement

I have not seen any official announcement on wikimediafoundation.org and maillist about the updated ToU become effective June 7, 2023. Any announcement will be published? Thanks. User:Muhammad Alif Adha Bin Samad

Great question. A Diff post about what the CC 4.0 piece means to users is being prepared to go out either possibly the week after next. There's a slight wait on that because some of the technical changes for CC4.0 still need to propagate because of server update schedules. That would also be one place the effective date would be mentioned.

I can't fully confirm where-else it may be mentioned. But to try to address @User:Muhammad Alif Adha Bin Samad,

I came here to ask the same question. I noticed page edits on WM projects now state a CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Will there be notifications on all project sites? I will also note some broken things on Commons:

the edit page has a red link to the CC 4.0 license.
Commons:Ownership of pages and files refers to the 3.0 license.

Are you storing the data in none-fair-use legislative countries?

Paid Contributions

Can we get (or is there already) a redirect to Policy:Terms of Use#paid-contrib-disclosure, which could be handled as an interwiki link from project:Conflict of interest (Q4663309)? Please ping me if replying, I don't maintain a watchlist on this wiki. - User:Muhammad Alif Adha Bin Samad
