Subject: Migration of the UK Wiki on 27th September 2013
To: UK Wikimedia mailing list <wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear All,
If I could direct your attention to this page on Wikimedia UK's site:
https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMUK_wiki_migration
It contains the details of the migration, the impact it will have on users
of the UK wiki who have user accounts, and how the old wiki will be
archived as a read only document. You will also notice a site notice go
live for the next two weeks reminding readers to do the following...
*The most important things to do in the next two weeks are: *
Enable email from other users
Download your watch list text before the migration (put in your diary for
the day before)
*Following the migration you will need to:*
Check your email for your new password to a stub account on the migrated
site
Reimport your watch list data
Update your bookmarks in your browser or phone
Log any emerging errors on our bugzilla -
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org.uk/
The above is only necessary if you currently have a registered user account.
If you don't have an account on the UK wiki but follow this list then, why
not
register?<https://uk.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&a…
in users can interact better with other members of the community
around Wikimedia UK business by adding agendas and topic pages to their
watch list and staying up to day with chapter business :-)
Thanks,
