Wikimedia wiki mobile redirect

Hi, this wiki does not automatically redirect mobile users to the mobile domain, like Wikimedia projects actually do. For example, clicking on "Terms of Use" on Wikipedia in mobile mode goes to this wiki in desktop mode, wich is not very nice. Please fix. CyberOne25 (talk) 19:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello @CyberOne25, I have reported this on Phabricator where hopefully it can be investigated further and resolved. Thank you for reporting it. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 20:41, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

@CyberOne25: I believe this is now fixed - please let me know if you experience otherwise. Thank you again for reporting this. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 17:47, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Can this site be classified as semi-fishbowl

As unregistered users cannot edit or translate anything and registered users only have ablity to edit talk pages and user pages, and translating content, also creating an account is disabled. Can this wiki be considered "semi-fishbowl"? ToadetteEdit (talk) 20:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

@ToadetteEdit: Can you elaborate? Considered for what purpose and where? --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 03:28, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Translations of Board meetings

There seems to be a problem with the section titles for translations of this page. --Ameisenigel (talk) 11:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ameisenigel: Thank you for letting us know! This has now been fixed. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:45, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Request for translation administrator rights

Hi, I have been cleaning up some vandalism in my capacity as a global sysop. Since I am not a translation admin here, I am not able to delete translated pages (like Agenda:2016-04-22/bm, not a translation). Therefore I request translation administrator rights according to the Wikimedia:Accounts policy. Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Ameisenigel: Thank you for your help! I have gone ahead and setup these rights. Thank you again! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 22:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

LincolnBot broke Template:Decade years navbox

In Special:Diff/361758 LincolnBot changed the "cat_prefix" parameter to "cat prefix" in Template:Decade years navbox. Note "cat_suffix" was not changed. By changing the parameter, Template:DMCA category by year (which uses the "cat_prefix" parameter) no longer links to the correct categories. For example, as of 27 March 2024 if you go to Category:DMCA 2023 you'll see that in the DMCA category by year nav box that "2022" no longer links to Category:DMCA 2022, it instead is linking to Category:2022. This is because the template Template:Decade years navbox is no longer recognizing the prefix passed in by Template:DMCA category by year. —RP88 (talk) 19:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@RP88: This has been fixed - apologies for the error - and thank you for the alert! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:49, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Module:No globals

If I read the en.wikipedia TfD discussion correctly, the function of this module has replaced by strict library of Scribunto extension, and as it has no linked-in pages, do we really need a reason to keep it? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
