Change of license on WikiNews

edit

Hi! I'm trying to coordinate that Wikinews upgrade license from cc-by-2.5 to cc-by-4.0 (n:Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#Sum_up_per_march_2024). However, it is not easy to get other users involved and I think one reason is noone knows how to change.

So I hope it will be easier if I can tell each wiki that all they have to do is to edit these pages (and andd a list).

On English Wikinews I identified a number of pages to possibly change: n:Wikinews_talk:Copyright#Pages_to_update_when_license_is_updated_from_2.5_to_4.0. However on Polish Wikinews it seems that the setup is different per n:pl:Wikinews:Kawiarenka#Zmiana_licencji_-_Update_of_license_to_cc-by-4.0. (At the bottom it says "Content is available under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 unless otherwise noted." meaning it is localized via TranslateWiki.

I also asked on wmf:Policy_talk:Terms_of_Use#Does_ToU_require_that_Wikiprojects_update_license? some time ago. But since deadline is getting near I try here too. MGA73 (talk) 07:16, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

What deadline? (This isn't quite a technical question. The technical part is rather easy, the policy/legal side less so.) Nemo 09:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nemo The suggested deadline is currently August 1, 2024. I'm happy to hear it is easy to change. I hope it will be easier for each community to decide if I can tell them how to make the change and show them that it is quite easy. --MGA73 (talk) 12:13, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nemo If you have time to explain what to edit it would be very helpful. --MGA73 (talk) 15:54, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Does anyone know? --MGA73 (talk) 06:54, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@MGA73 It would require a configuration change in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki-config/browse/master/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php$10828 and an edit to n:MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 02:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. What has happened to Section headings: Heading 3. It looks bigger and bolder as a while ago? Too big and too bold doesn't match the orher headings, imho.-- Htm (talk) 19:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Htm Hi, I believe this might be related to the 2nd entry in last week's Tech/News/2024/24, about heading changes. Please could you add a comment to phab:T13555 along with a specific example link? (An example will help people investigate which wiki/page you saw a problem at, and perhaps determine if the change you see is related to any local site-CSS/template-CSS that needs to be updated.) It might also help if you could check a page without any gadgets, to see if it looks the same, e.g. https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuu?useskin=vector&safemode=1 -- Thanks, and I hope that helps.

Okay, I'll follow your instructions. Thanks a lot!-- Htm (talk) 21:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Problem solved. Obviously local (=fiwiki) gadget "Pienoisohjelma poistaa 3.4.2014 typografiapäivityksessä tulleen kirjasintyypin muutoksen" ("gadget removes font change made in typography update 2014-04-03". Removed it. Our friendly and competent Stryn helped. -- Htm (talk) 08:12, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
