Vrae


Wat is die rede vir die verandering
Wanneer gebruikers eksplisiet verkies vir 'n langer sessie, is dit handig om dit langer as 30 dae te doen. Langer aanmeldlengtes beteken minder probleme met bewerkers wat onverwags afgemeld word. Die aanmeldingstijd was vroeër baie langder, maar dié is ingekort tot 30 dae deurdat daar 'n verandering is gekom oor hoe met cookies om te gaan. Many users have requested a return to the longer length since then.



Beteken dié dat daar cookies wees dit losstaan van die aanmelding?
Nee, dit doen nie.

Which wikis does this apply to?
This change applies to all WMF wikis in all languages, including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Meta, MediaWiki.org, and more.

If my wiki shows the "" time period, will that be accurate?
Most wikis are using the default message, which says only, "", without specifying the maximum length of time. In that case, the message will remain the same.

If your wiki is currently using the message parameter, then the message will show the new length automatically. You will not need to change anything. Any wiki can choose to show the length by editing MediaWiki:Userlogin-remembermypassword to say, " ". The software will automatically insert the correct length of time where the " " is in this phrase. If you want, you can copy and translate the example from the English Wikipedia for your wiki.

If your wiki is using a custom local message that has the time hard-coded (e.g., " ", without the " " parameter), then please change this immediately to use the parameter instead. Using the parameter means that your users will always get accurate information about this setting.

Will existing login sessions be affected immediately?
Existing sessions will not be affected. Users will not be logged out early, and existing sessions will not be extended. This change will take effect the next time you login with "" checked.

Does this comply with the Privacy Policy?
Yes, the Legal team has verified that this change complies with the Privacy policy.
