 Dear, Welcome to MediaWiki.org !

Yes, Welcome! This site is dedicated to the documentation of the MediaWiki software, the software behind many wikis, including that of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation projects.

Please, take a look at the following pages. They might prove useful to you as a newcomer here:
 * About this site
 * How does MediaWiki work?
 * Help:Editing pages
 * Help:Navigation
 * Manual:FAQ

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and find this site a beneficial documentation of the MediaWiki software.

Extension:FCKeditor abandoned
Can you explain how you know for certain that Extension:FCKeditor has been abandoned? I think you should add your rationale to the discussion page for that extension's article. --Lance E Sloan 14:05, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Per the upstream bug tracker http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/5602 and http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/6273 "MediaWiki and FCKeditor are no longer supported. Closing the ticked."

 * I see. But the newer CKEditor is supported, right?  We should add a template that directs users to the extension for that editor instead.  I'll look for such a template.  --Lance E Sloan 17:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know. Which is that extension/where does it live? :/ Reedy 18:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I think I'm wrong about that. FCKeditor has been renamed CKEditor, but on this wiki, the page for CKEditor redirects to FCKeditor.  The article about WYSIWYG is no help, either.  So...  I guess there's nothing else that can be done for now.  Hopefully your marking the extension as abandoned will attract some attention from developers that have some time to work on an alternative.  --Lance E Sloan 18:22, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Bugzilla Request
Hi Reedy. I wanted to ask you if you can glance at this request for bugzilla (since you work there as well, don't you?). I'm asking you it because the last request we made (for our project) has been fulfilled after months. So if you could do us a favour, we would be glad. Regards, -- Frigotoni ... i'm here ;  15:07, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Uh...
...there was no local community consensus for setting ShowUpdateMarker=true on enwiki, and some users are not pleased by it.--Jasper Deng (talk) 16:58, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes there was: 33123, w:en:Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 83. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 17:05, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, now the community is angry, with some former supporters now opposing. Notice that we asked for a preference option, and we weren't given one.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:56, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
