Dear Scientia~mediawikiwiki, 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:
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.
Thanks, and regards, --Kaganer 12:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Off-topic[edit]
User pages - for information about these users, not for other "information threads". I remove your text to User:Scientia/Sandbox - your personal test workspace. Please see also MediaWiki.org's scope. In future, please remember that MediaWiki.org exists solely for the documentation of the MediaWiki software and that off-topic material is not accepted here. Thanks for your understanding. --Kaganer 12:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Scientia. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Scientia~mediawikiwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
