  • For a short summation of differences between the previous Terms of Use and the new policy that came into effect on May 25, 2012, please see New Terms of use.

Ported over

At this point, the following translations are complete and have been ported over:

  • de
  • en
  • es
  • fi
  • fr
  • it
  • ja
  • nl

There are others that are very close to complete (like Korean) but are not quite there. --Maggie Dennis (talk) 16:11, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are several summaries that have been copied over that lack accompanying ToU: Terms of use-Summary/ar, Terms of use-Summary/be-tarask, Terms of use-Summary/bg, Terms of use-Summary/eo, Terms_of_use-Summary/fa, Terms_of_use-Summary/gl, Terms_of_use-Summary/ko, Terms_of_use-Summary/mk. --Maggie Dennis (talk) 16:28, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Future language fixes

The following pages currently exist as redirects to this page in order to keep local language links functional. The Terms of Use have not yet been translated into these languages. When translations to this language are prepared, the redirects will need to be altered accordingly. --Maggie Dennis (talk) 12:20, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Add "summary" in the summary box header

As pointed out on Meta, the header of the summary box should read "Terms of Use summary", to make it clear that the box's contents are not the entire terms of use. While there are two smaller-type sentences that suggest that same fact, this suggestion seems clear and appropriate. SJ + 09:22, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
