Wikimania:Requests for rights[edit source]

Hi can you approve? Thanks --Samuele2002 (talk) 00:20, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have done it; Samuele2002 is suitably trusted through the community. Naturally rights assignation and removal is at the power of the host community. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:38, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How we will see unregistered users[edit source]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

2023:Help desk[edit source]

Not sure if you saw this page. There are a few outstanding questions asked on the help desk (I also asked one about the poster session). Is there a separate due date for poster session submissions? OhanaUnited (talk) 23:10, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong link ?[edit source]

Hi,

You added the 360 view of rooms on 2023:Program (Special:Diff/317194). This is great, thanks a lot !

But there is probably a small mistake, you put the same link for room 310 and 311, is it on purpose ? (I looked on the YouTube but not sure what is the correct link...). Could you have a look ?
