Privacy Policy updates
Hi! These changes are initiated by some Board resolution? Please link to them, so that I can port them to Meta to update translations to other languages. Thanks!--Kaganer (talk) 20:43, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi,@Kaganer. This minor update is initiated by the Legal department. See Resolution:Delegation of policy-making authority.
- I've got professional translations ready to import to Meta-Wiki, but I need to find a Meta-Wiki admin, because m:Privacy policy is full-protected. Ideally, we'll be able to start importing translations (the list of languages is on the talk page) before the official announcement is made (probably in half an hour). Once I get those imported, I would very much appreciate it if you could tell me what you think of the translation's quality. Ssnyder (talk) 20:59, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
