Wikis World/2023-06

Eight months of Wikis World! As of 2023-06-13 we have 120 users (up from last month's 109).

We are planning to change the default license to CC BY-SA 4.0 (instead of the 3.0 version), for all posts on or after 2023-07-01 (UTC). Creative Commons has published a guide on what's improved/changed in 4.0. If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please let us know on the talk page.

Next, we've been approached about hosting bots on the Wikis World server. Our current bot policy is incredibly vague and arbitrary ("No bots, unless they're cute, funny, or useful."), so we've started drafting a better and more explicit policy: Wikis World/Bots. Especially if you want to run a bot, please take a look and let us know what you think in the talk page discussion.

Hopefully you've already seen the news, but in case you haven't, the RealMe extension was deployed to Wikimedia sites, so you can now verify your Wikimedia account on Mastodon! Organizational accounts can also use it to verify themselves to specific wiki pages. Let us know if you need help!
