I believe that being able to create upload campaigns for these periodic initiatives will make it easier for people to upload their content while also lessening any potential burden on volunteers. Creating a campaign has, in fact, been suggested for both of our previous campaigns in discussions on Commons' Village Pump. (1, 2) |

| Mvolz (WMF) | 2016-05-25 | I need full edit permissions on all language wikis for the Template namespace. I need to edit template data in these templates in order to properly configure citoid on these wikis. Here is the phabricator task to do so: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114515 Often these are editable but on some language wikis they are locked for editing.
I've been getting a colleague to do some on wiki edits for me and he finally got fed up and suggested I get my own permissions :). It would be also great if I had the ability to edit MediaWiki namespace on all language wikis. This is to configure this message and this message only on all wikis: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json |
