Welcome to the Wikimedia Foundation website.

Welcome

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 :-)

How to obtain an account on this site

Please, request an account on m:Wikimedia site feedback/request for an account. Creation of an account is not granted automatically and is subject to approval by the Board.

Please give your username, email address and reasons you need an account. To ensure users are already familiar with the policies of at least one Wikimedia project, we do ask that only administrators apply for an account. If you are not already an administrator, please see the request for adminship page on your local wiki (this should be linked from m:Wikimedia projects).

Administrators on this wiki

The three administrators are Anthere and Angela as Board members, and Daniel Mayer as Wikimedia's CFO. There are no current plans to have any other sysops.

Since the users here have been approved to edit this site, we do not fear vandalism, and will try to have as few pages protected as possible.

To delete a page : Wikimedia:Request for deletion (or m:Wikimedia site feedback if you do not have an account here.

To unprotect a page : Wikimedia:Request for unprotection

Other points

If you made any major edit which you feel could be controversial or incorrect, please list the page at Wikimedia:Edits to confirm.

For those willing to help with translation, please see Wikimedia:Translation requests.

All organisational pages may be found in the meta category.
