modify

The central Wikimedia portal www.wikimedia.org and the multilingual portal pages of the Wikimedia projects can be changed here on Meta-Wiki by editing the special template pages. Since they contain raw HTML they are fully protected.

Automatically updated

Changes to a portal's "template" go live almost immediately.

A portal's "temp" is a "sandbox" in which to develop it?

• www.wikimedia.org: template • template talk • sandbox
• www.wikipedia.org: template • template talk • sandbox
• www.wikinews.org: template • template talk • sandbox
• www.wiktionary.org: template • template talk • sandbox
• www.wikiquote.org: template • template talk • sandbox
• www.wikiversity.org: template • template talk • sandbox
• www.wikibooks.org: template • template talk • sandbox
• www.wikivoyage.org: template • template talk • sandbox

Special case

• Wikimedia missing site: template • template talk • sandbox was used in the past and was, unlike the portals, not dynamically loaded from Meta-Wiki (bug 11125)

As of July 2012, the following can happen on unassigned wiki domains:

• Handled by a custom script (wmf-config/missing.php)
  • Redirects to Incubator
  • Redirects to Multilingual Wikisource
  • Redirects to missing wiki (in case of a broken Wikimedia domain)
  • Shows a "lang.Project does not exist" page generated by that PHP script (in case of Wikiversity). Such as http://haw.wikiversity.org
• Handled by docroot/default/index.html (in case the domain does not have subdomains configured). Such as http://aa.wikidata.org. The docroot/default/index.html is hardcoded in the server and should never be used. It is outdated and domains should be configured to use extract2.php?template=Wikimedia_missing_site or missing.php.

Old

• secure.wikimedia.org: template • template talk • sandbox (no longer used, redirects to main wikimedia.org portal)
• www.wikisource.org: template • template talk • sandbox (no longer used, redirects to sourceswiki at http://wikisource.org)

CSS and JavaScript

By including the lines containing "modules=ext.gadget.wm-portal" from Www.wikipedia.org template, you can include CSS from MediaWiki:Gadget-wm-portal.css and the JavaScript code from MediaWiki:Gadget-wm-portal.js, whose code can be viewed on Meta-Wiki. The CSS contains classes to make the "ring of languages" around the logo (e.g., on www.wikipedia.org).

These can be used (please copy from one of the actual portals, not from here!):

• <link rel="stylesheet" href="//bits.wikimedia.org/meta.wikimedia.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=ext.gadget.wm-portal&only=styles&skin=vector&*">
  

  (used in head)

• <script src="//bits.wikimedia.org/meta.wikimedia.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=ext.gadget.wm-portal&only=scripts&skin=vector&*"></script>
