Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions has an interwiki link to w:en:Wikipedia:Username_policy, which is strange. Is it intended? Ата ^(talk) 17:11, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ата, can you elaborate on what you find odd? The linking to that specific page, the formatting of the link, or something else? Thank you! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 20:40, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I find it weird that

1 language button on top of the page links to that specific page. Privacy policy FAQs ≠ enwiki username policy. Ата ^(talk) 15:29, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Fixed! It was a mis-ordered link. Thanks! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 02:37, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please make Политика конфиденциальности a redirect to Policy:Privacy policy/ru. colt_browning (talk) 13:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Colt browning: That has been fixed. However, if that link is actively used anywhere - please let me know and we may be able to update its usage. Thank you! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 20:22, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Can people under 13 edit Wikipedia? Wimajo15 (talk) 08:17, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Wimajo15: Hello, the term of use and the privacy policy don't prevent children from editing Wikipedia. However, if you are a younger user, it is recommended reading the Guidance for younger editors and the Staying safe on Wikimedia as a young person page before editing. Happy editing!

Thank you. How is it that Wikimedia servers are located in the USA, but children are allowed to edit? Why is Wikimedia not covered by COPPA? Wimajo15 (talk) 15:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Wimajo15: See the 'Are websites and online services operated by nonprofit organizations subject to the Rule?' section of the FAQ by the FTC (under 'B. COPPA Enforcement') --Nintendofan885^{T&Cs apply} 17:50, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Needless to say for translation Rebulka (talk) 05:42, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Edit tags "translate" to only 'The "$int-myprefs" tab' resp 'The "$int-echo" tab' resp 'The "$int-prefs-pers" tab' resp The "$int-alloweml" option Rebulka (talk) 05:53, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Rebulka: Hi, I've added qqq (message documentation) translations for these images within the section Policy:Privacy_policy/Frequently_asked_questions#emailsFAQ, using the standard: "Please only translate if you have a screen shot for your language (or a language better then English for speakers of your language)".

I think that resolves your comments here. Please let me know if it doesn't. Thanks for noting! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
