A message re: your subscription to the VisualEditor multilingual newsletter

[edit]

Hello there! I noticed your name on m:VisualEditor/Newsletter. I'm just making sure you're aware of what follows, but you're also free to disregard this message entirely :)

  • en.wiki gets the newsletter earlier, because that's not translated into other languages. If you want to receive the newsletter on the English Wikipedia, please suscribe to Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter instead;
  • if you want to get the newsletter in a language which is not English (assuming a translation has been provided for that month), then please update your Meta subscription to your talk page on the wiki in that language.

That's all! Thanks a lot for your interest in VisualEditor, and please don't hesitate in requesting my support if you need me to do anything on your behalf. HTH, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 10:42, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.

New Project: Edit Check

The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.
