Example discussion subject

Hi there, Example, I wasn't quite sure what you intended in your recent edits on Example policy. Could you clarify your removal of example content? Regards, Example 19:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Priorities

In a multilingual and global environment, I don't think it is fair to deny wikiversians a potentially useful user name simply because it was used in a template documentation (template:user). Since user:example has had no edits, it may happen that someone would ask for a usurpation. I think that has higher priority. <Hillgentleman| ~ | 書> 03:34, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

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 Example. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Example~betawikiversity 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
