Village Pump mass message
Hello!

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to make talk pages accessible to all, and we invite you to consult with us on how on to achieve this goal.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis — to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We believe that this is essential for us to reach our goal of providing free access to the sum of all human knowledge.

From now until June we will be conducting a large-scale consultation to include ideas, concerns, and needs from as many wikis, languages, and users as we can. The process is outlined at Talk page consultation 2019 on MediaWiki.org. You can help us shape the future of talk pages by signing-up a participant group to make sure your wiki is represented throughout this project.

Thank you!
