New user group for editing sitewide CSS / JS[မႄးထတ်းငဝ်ႈငႃႇ]
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages likeMediaWiki:Common.cssandMediaWiki:Vector.jswhich contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group,interface-admin,has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with.cssor.jsthat is either in theMediaWiki:namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the changehere.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now[မႄးထတ်းငဝ်ႈငႃႇ]
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all,
asannounced previously,permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of theinterface-admin(ၽူႈၵုမ်းၵမ်ၽၢင်ႁၢင်ႈ) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with.css or.js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available atCreation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS.If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.
Thanks!

Read-only mode for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October[မႄးထတ်းငဝ်ႈငႃႇ]

TheWikimedia Foundationwill be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center onWednesday, 12 September 2018. OnWednesday, 10 October 2018,they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations inMediaWiki,all editing must stop when we switch. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at14:00 UTC(15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You canread the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org.Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this.Please share this information with your community./User:Johan(WMF)(talk)

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web[မႄးထတ်းငဝ်ႈငႃႇ]
Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Please help translate to your language
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples likeTemplate:UnreferencedorTemplate:More citations needed.Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
For template editors we havesome recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendlyand also furtherdocumentation on our work so far.
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile,please leave a note on the project talk pageorfile a task in Phabricatorand we will help you.
Thank you!
