Importing a new version from external source

Hello. Kindly I wanted to request more information about the method you used to perform "Importing a new version from external source" some while ago. Examples include messages 19 and 26. Thanks a lot. Alfa80 (talk) 09:33, 10 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Alfa80: That means it was imported from Meta-Wiki using Special:ImportTranslations. Since that time, a new method has been developed which we now utilize and which provides greater clarity. I hope that helps answer your question. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 04:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

New tracking category

Hi, Category:Pages that use extended references has become obsolete and could be deleted (or renamed to Category:Pages that use sub-references per Special:TrackingCategories). We are now using MediaWiki:cite-tracking-category-ref-details instead of MediaWiki:cite-tracking-category-ref-extends due to changes to the sub-referencing syntax.

Updated - thank you, @Johannes Richter (WMDE)! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 16:49, 20 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Locked sysop

Hi, could you remove sysop rights from User:MeganHernandez (WMF)? The account is globally locked. Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 08:50, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

 Done (and one other, too). Thanks. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 21:49, 9 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Since the license for Wikinews has been updated to CC BY-SA 4.0

Can that information be updated on Legal:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License? Awesome Aasim (talk) 20:04, 10 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Awesome Aasim: Thank you for pointing this out. I have updated the language to reflect that at least English Wikinews is now utilizing 4.0. It appears that not all language editions of Wikinews are doing the same (German as an example), so we still need some caveat in place. Let me know if you think the new wording works. Thank you! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 17:05, 20 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
