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:Request for an account on the Foundation wiki. 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

Administrators are Anthere and Jimmy Wales as Board member, Angela as former Board member and Daniel Mayer as Wikimedia's CFO, Michael Snow as Chair of Wikimedia Communication Committee and Jd and Aphaia as members of Communication Commitee. 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 : list the page on m:Wikimedia site feedback#Admin noticeboard. Categories, templates, subpage s of your userpage or any other unharmful deletions could be request to put the pages into Category:Deleteme.

To un/protect a page : also list the page on m:Wikimedia site feedback#Admin noticeboard

Other points

If you create a page, please list the page at Wikimedia:Site map. And if your page has equivalent, please don't forget to include language bar to your page.

To help communications, authenticate your mail address. Then other editors can mail you directly. Thanks!

For those willing to help with translation, please see Translation requests/WMF (meta).

All organisational pages may be found in the meta category.


If you made any major edit which you feel could be controversial or incorrect, please list the page at Wikimedia:Babel or make a post to foundation-l for further discussion.
