Dear All,
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
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? Logged 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,
Katherine Bavage Fundraising Manager
