- This page is not a place to appeal decisions about article content, which the WMF does not control (except in very rare cases); see Dispute resolution for that.
- Issues that do not require project-wide attention should often be handled through Wikipedia:Contact us instead of here.

Transcoding large MPEG videos
I am thinking of transcoding large MPEG videos like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:My_wish.mpg and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TRAPS-Brao_people.mpg to a better format like VP8 or VP9. What do you think? -Yuhong (talk) 02:28, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- This belongs on Commons. This noticeboard is for discussions of the relationship between the English Wikipedia and the Foundation. Donald Albury 14:22, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- All videos are already transcoded to vp8 and vp9 automatically. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:25, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
- The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
- They are beginning a new project, Edit check.
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

The Wikipedia app
Courtesy ping to ARamadan-WMF because I think this is likely the best way to get more members of the community involved. I don't want to speak for you, so maybe you could explain? This page is almost guareenteed to get more eyes than my Signpost essay (views usually fade quickly over time although the talk page got more engagement than usual even then).

- Thanks a lot @Clovermoss!
- There are two points we would like to announce:
- -We are having our first office hour on the 24th of March at 5 pm UTC; please find all the details on how to join and enjoy the conversation about the current features and the roadmap we are working on from here.
- -Also, we are working on an anti vandalism tool for Android; we would like to invite whoever could be interested in testing the first iteration of the patrolling tool designs. Your input at this stage will allow us to improve the tool before development as well as gather important feedback for the second iteration of the tool.
- Please email or ping me if you are interested to join us! ARamadan-WMF (talk) 12:08, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
