Space missing in Policy:Wikimedia Foundation Office Actions Policy
A space is mysteriously missing here in translatable string no. 19, Policy:Wikimedia Foundation Office Actions Policy:
| Line 47: | Line 47: |
| <br /> | <br /> |
| <translate><!--T:19--> Global bans are considered a last resort and are only enforced upon receipt of complaint, investigation, extensive review and explicit approval by several Foundation staff members. As they prohibit all involvement in the Wikimedia projects, websites, platforms and activities from the moment they are enacted, by definition they also prohibit potentially positive future involvement of the banned individual, regardless of the outcome of that involvement. Knowingly facilitating the contributions of a globally banned individual, acting as a proxy for such a person, or attempting to interfere with Foundation staff or volunteer administrators, bureaucrats or functionaries enforcing a global ban in line with local policies may result in sanctions, including loss of advanced user rights or suspension of contributing access to Wikimedia sites.Since global bans are reserved for severe cases, their duration should typically be expected to be indefinite.</translate> | <translate><!--T:19--> Global bans are considered a last resort and are only enforced upon receipt of complaint, investigation, extensive review and explicit approval by several Foundation staff members.

Done - Fixed, thanks for the note here. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 23:10, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
Can someone make a redirect on main namespace with something really short shortcuts, like TAIV policy or TAIV (or something really shorter than current redirects) to there? I miss the time I could do this myself... :P — regards, Revi 12:48, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Revi C.: TAIV now exists :) RAdimer-WMF (talk) 14:26, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
Message documentations in Burmese
Hi, I found a few translation documentation pages (qqq) written in Burmese. Added by ZYX2233 probably by mistake in 2024. I suggest deleting them.

- Done - I've checked those and made sure they existed in the translated copy (one chunk transferred), and then deleted the mislocated duplicates. Thank you for mentioning. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:23, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
WIKIPEDIA MODERN RESTYLING AND REFRESHING
Hi Wikipedia and Wikimedia content creators and readers, I wanted to create this topic discussion, asking about a modern and refreshing restyling of Wikipedia layout, which I think its too classic. Considering we are in 2026, I think Wikipedia needs a good modern layout, like other social or news apps. Thanks a lot for your attention Andre il sommo (talk) 11:17, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Andre il sommo Hello, you may submit your suggestion through the Community Wishlist. SCP-2000 (talk) 15:02, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Like with TAIV, could someone create a shortcut for this? NDP isn't taken. lp0 on fire () 12:30, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- Actually, it might be better to make a redirect to Resolution:Nondiscrimination since the policy page is only about employees and contractors, whereas the resolution also applies to all editors so is much more likely to be linked to. Not sure what a good redirect would be; maybe just Nondiscrimination in mainspace? lp0 on fire () 13:05, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- What do you imagine the use cases being? The redirect would need to be to the policy. The resolution created the initial version of the policy, but it has since been updated. The UCoC addresses the community. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 03:17, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hello, it's quite possible I've misunderstood the scope of the resolution. The policy seems to apply exclusively to WMF staff and contractors, but I was under the impression that resolutions are also binding, and this resolution contains very broad statements about discriminating agains all prospective users and employees; I believe that has relevance on-wiki; for example if an admin blocks someone for discriminatory reasons that are in line with local policy, it's much easier to argue they've violated the nondiscrimination resolution than the UCoC. Forgive me if I've completely misunderstood the situation. lp0 on fire () 08:00, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
