{{namespaces}}
'''Special pages''' are pages generated by the software on demand for special purposes, usually related to project maintenance. They are found in the <code>Special:</code> [[WP:Namespace|namespace]], a virtual namespace whose pages lack corresponding talk pages. They are not written in [[Help:Wikitext|wikitext]] and can't be edited in the normal way; but elements of their pages can sometimes be edited through corresponding pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. If you make a normal redirect to a special page, the redirect will not be immediately followed (though special pages can be targets of [[Wikipedia:Soft redirect|soft redirects]]), and creating any pages beginning with the <code>Special:</code> prefix is also not possible.

Special pages often take [[Parameter (computer programming)|parameters]]. Sometimes these can be supplied after a slash (as in [[Special:Log/block]]); in other cases an index.php call is used; for example https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=3&limit=10. Also, the content of most special pages depends on preferences that have been set by the user, e.g. classic or enhanced Recent Changes, the number of titles in Recent Changes and the watchlist, etc.

A directory of special pages can be accessed from [[Special:SpecialPages]], which is found in the sidebar of every page on Wikipedia in the Tools section.

==Modifying special pages==
Although special pages are not themselves editable, they generally contain standard text which is modifiable (although only by administrators). To find the right portion of text, append <code>[[mw:Help:Qqx|?uselang=qqx]]</code> to the special page URL, and append <code>&uselang=qqx</code> instead if the URL already contains a <code>?</code>, This will reveal message names in parentheses. Then, go to that name in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. For example, {{Querylink|Special:BookSources|qs=uselang=qqx|2=Special:BookSources?uselang=qqx}} reveals "(booksources-summary)", so [[MediaWiki:booksources-summary]] is used on that page. To propose a modification, leave an {{tl|edit protected}} request on the talk page of the relevant MediaWiki page. An administrator will make the change if it seems appropriate.

== Linking and transcluding ==
{{anchor|Linking to or listing special pages}}
To create a link to a special page:
* <code><nowiki>[[Special:PrefixIndex/HMS]]</nowiki></code> → [[Special:PrefixIndex/HMS]]
It can take a label:
* <code><nowiki>[[Special:PrefixIndex/HMS|All HMSs]]</nowiki></code> → [[Special:PrefixIndex/HMS|All HMSs]]

To present the list on a page, transclude the name:
* <code><nowiki>{{Special:PrefixIndex/HMS}}</nowiki></code>
However, some pages cannot be transcluded and would produce only a wikilink (e.g., <code><nowiki>{{Special:Random}}</nowiki></code> → {{Special:Random}}). When non-existent pages are linked or transcluded, a red link is produced (e.g., [[Special:Red link example]]).

More information on transcludable special pages can be found at [[Wikipedia:Transclusion#Special pages]].

=== Links containing URL query strings ===
{{Main|Help:Link#Links containing URL query strings}}
Because the ampersand character (&) is disallowed, it is not possible to create an ordinary link containing <code>&action=edit</code> or <code>&redirect=no</code> in the URL query string.

==Special pages in other languages==
The term in the site language equivalent to English "Special" is used in each project, for example:
* "Especial" in Spanish
* "Spécial" in French
* "Speciaal" in Dutch
* "Spezial" in German
These also appear in the [[Help:URL|URLs]]. The English word "Special" always works, even on foreign-language sites.

The most commonly used symbol for the taka is "{{lang|bn|৳}}" and "Tk", used on receipts while purchasing goods and services. It was formerly divided into 100 [[paisa|poysha]], but poysha coins are no longer in circulation.

The '''Wikimedian of the Year''' is an annual award that honors [[Wikipedia community|Wikipedia editors]] and other contributors to [[Wikimedia]] projects to highlight major achievements within the [[Wikimedia movement]], established in August 2011 by [[Wikipedia]]'s co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]]. Wales selects the recipients and honors them at [[Wikimania]], an annual conference of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]—except in 2020, when the recipient was announced at an [[online meeting]] as a consequence of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref name=":4" /> From 2011 to 2017, the award was named '''Wikipedian of the Year'''.<ref name="dd" />

In 2011, the first title was given to [[Rauan Kenzhekhanuly]] for his work on the [[Kazakh Wikipedia]]. The following year, it was awarded to an editor identified as "Demmy" for creating a bot to translate 15,000 short English articles into [[Yoruba language|Yoruba]], a language [[Languages of Nigeria|spoken in Nigeria]]. In 2013, [[Rémi Mathis]] of [[Wikimédia France]] and the [[French Wikipedia]] was named for his role in an article controversy. In 2014, the award was [[Posthumous award|given posthumously]] to Ukrainian journalist [[Ihor Kostenko]], who actively promoted the [[Ukrainian Wikipedia]] on social networking sites and was killed during a protest. Wales named an undisclosed recipient in 2015, and hopes someday to tell their story. In 2016 the first joint award was presented to [[Emily Temple-Wood]] and [[Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight]] for their efforts to combat harassment on Wikipedia and increase its coverage of women. Other recipients include [[Felix Nartey]], [[Farhad Fatkullin]], and [[Emna Mizouni]]
'''Merajul Islam'''..
In addition to the main award, [[Susanna Mkrtchyan]] and Satdeep Gill were the first to receive honorable mentions in 2015. Since then, seven honorable mentions have been conferred.

The '''Digital Millennium Copyright Act''' ('''DMCA''') is a 1998 United States [[copyright]] [[law]] that implements two 1996 treaties of the [[World Intellectual Property Organization]] (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to [[copyright]]ed works (commonly known as [[digital rights management]] or DRM). It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an [[access control]], whether or not there is actual [[Copyright infringement|infringement of copyright]] itself. In addition, the DMCA heightens the penalties for copyright infringement on the [[Internet]].<ref>[http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf DMCA p7.]</ref><ref>[http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2010-title17/html/USCODE-2010-title17-chap5-sec506.htm United States Code (2010) Title 17 CHAPTER 5, COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND REMEDIES, Sec. 506 – Criminal offenses]</ref> Passed on October 12, 1998, by a unanimous vote in the [[United States Senate]] and signed into law by President [[Bill Clinton]] on October 28, 1998, the DMCA amended [[Title 17 of the United States Code|Title 17]] of the [[United States Code]] to extend the reach of copyright, while limiting the [[Legal liability|liability]] of the [[Online service provider|providers of online services]] for copyright infringement by their users.

The DMCA's principal innovation in the field of copyright is the exemption from direct and [[indirect liability]] of [[Internet service provider]]s and other intermediaries. This exemption was adopted by the [[European Union]] in the [[Electronic Commerce Directive]] 2000. The [[Information Society Directive]] 2001 implemented the 1996 [[WIPO Copyright Treaty]] in the EU.

==Background and legislative history==
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) had its basis as part of the United States' commitment to comply with two treaties passed by the [[World Intellectual Property Organization]] (WIPO) in December 1996 that dealt with the nature of copyright with modern information systems such as the [[Internet]]. The [[World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty|WIPO Copyright Treaty]] identified numerous electronic works as eligible for copyright protection, and stated that [[anti-circumvention|circumvention of technological measures used to secure electronic works]] was to be prohibited. The [[WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty]] worked to normalize the copyright protections for performed works as uniformly for member states as possible.<ref name="nimmer riff"/>

The process of ratifying the treaties for the United States was the first major piece of copyright-related legislation since the [[Copyright Act of 1976]], and led to numerous interested groups to express concerns for how the treaties should be implemented, including content producers and distributors, technology manufacturers, online service providers, researchers and academics, and consumer groups. Some groups urged for stronger copyright enforcement while others sought more relaxing of rules. As the bill was being formed in the [[United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce|Commerce Committee in the House of Representatives]], the committee recognized that the final bill would be far more encompassing than just copyright reform but would be establishing key principles in the digital commerce marketplace.<ref name="nimmer riff">{{cite journal | last = Nimmer | first = David | title = A Riff on Fair Use in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act | journal = [[University of Pennsylvania Law Review]] | volume = 148 | pages = 673–742 | year = 2000 | doi = 10.2307/3312825 | jstor = 3312825 | ssrn = 222370 }}</ref>

In evaluating the enforcement of the WIPO Copyright Treaty with its anti-circumvention provisions with U.S. copyright law, lawmakers recognized that traditionally copyright law did not generally account for the medium of the work, as it was generally impossible to make an exact copy of an analog work previously, and current law was only concerned with unlawful acts of copyright violations. Since digital technology could allow for infinite numbers of exact copies of works to be made, the lawmakers agreed they had to extend copyright to include limits on devices and services which could be used for anti-circumvention in addition to acts of anti-circumvention.<ref name="nimmer riff"/> In establishing this, the lawmakers also recognized this would have a negative impact on [[fair use]] without exceptions, with electronic works potentially falling into the public domain but still locked beyond anti-circumvention measures, but they also needed to balance the rights of copyright holders. The DMCA as passed contained some basic fair use allowance such as for limited [[reverse engineering]] and for [[Information security|security research]]. Lawmakers opted to create a [[United States administrative law|rulemaking]] mechanism through the [[United States Copyright Office]] to review the state of copyrights and fair use to make limited classes of allowance for fair use which would be considered lawful means of using anti-circumvention technology.<ref name="nimmer riff"/>

==Provisions==

{{Update|inaccurate=yes|section|date=October 2020}}

===Title I: WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act===
DMCA Title I, the [[WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act]], amends U.S. copyright law to comply with the [[World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty|WIPO Copyright Treaty]] and the [[WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty]], adopted at the WIPO Diplomatic Conference in December 1996. The treaties have two major portions. One portion includes works covered by several treaties in U.S. copy prevention laws and gave the title its name. For further analysis of this portion of the Act and of cases under it, see [[WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act]].

The second portion (17 U.S.C. 1201) is often known as the DMCA [[anti-circumvention]] provisions. These provisions changed the remedies for the circumvention of copy-prevention systems (also called "technical protection measures"). The section contains a number of specific limitations and exemptions, for such things as government research and [[reverse engineering]] in specified situations. Although section 1201(c) of the title stated that the section does not change the underlying substantive copyright infringement rights, remedies, or defenses, it did not make those defenses available in circumvention actions. The section does not include a [[fair use]] exemption from criminality nor a [[scienter]] requirement, so criminal liability could attach to even unintended circumvention for legitimate purposes.<ref>{{Cite book|author1=Band, Jonathan |author2=Katoh, Masanobu|year=2011|title=Interfaces on Trial 2.0|publisher=MIT Press|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=dFMUBhojiA0C&pg=PA92 92]|isbn=978-0-262-01500-4}}</ref>

===Title II: Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act===
DMCA Title II, the [[Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act]] ("OCILLA"), creates a [[safe harbor (law)|safe harbor]] for [[online service provider]]s (OSPs, including [[Internet service provider|ISPs]]) against copyright infringement liability, provided they meet specific requirements.<ref>Cullins, Ashley [https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/music-industry-a-listers-call-879718 Music Industry A-Listers Call on Congress to Reform Copyright Act] ''Hollywood Reporter''. April 5, 2016, </ref> OSPs must adhere to and qualify for certain prescribed safe harbor guidelines and promptly block access to alleged infringing material (or remove such material from their systems) when they receive [[DMCA takedown notice|notification of an infringement claim]] from a copyright holder or the copyright holder's agent (a "notice and takedown" process). OCILLA also includes a counternotification provision that offers OSPs a safe harbor from liability to their users when users claim that the material in question is not, in fact, infringing. OCILLA also facilitates issuing of [[subpoena]]s against OSPs to provide their users' identity.

===Title III: Computer Maintenance Competition Assurance Act===
DMCA Title III modified [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/117.html section 117] of the copyright title so that those repairing computers could make certain temporary, limited copies while working on a computer. It reversed the precedent set in ''[[MAI Systems Corp. v. Peak Computer, Inc.]]'', 991 F.2d 511 (9th Cor. 1993).

===Title IV: Miscellaneous Provisions===
DMCA Title IV contains an assortment of provisions:
* Clarified and added to the duties of the [[United States Copyright Office|Copyright Office]].
* Added ephemeral copy for broadcasters provisions, including certain [[statutory license]]s.
* Added provisions to facilitate [[distance education]].
* Added provisions to assist libraries with keeping phonorecords of sound recordings.
* Added provisions relating to collective bargaining and the transfer of movie rights.

===Title V: Vessel Hull Design Protection Act===
'''DMCA''' Title V added sections [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/1301.html 1301] through [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/1332.html 1332] to add a ''[[sui generis]]'' protection for boat hull designs. Boat hull designs were not considered covered under copyright law because boats are useful articles whose form cannot be separated from their function as determined by the Supreme Court case ''[[Bonito Boats, Inc. v. Thunder Craft Boats, Inc.]]''.<ref name=" nimmer riff"/><ref>17 U.S.C. 101 (defining "Pictorial, graphic and sculptural works" as "Such works shall include works of artistic craftsmanship insofar as their form but not their mechanical or utilitarian aspects are concerned; the design of a useful article, as defined in this section, shall be considered a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work only if, and only to the extent that, such design incorporates pictorial, graphic, or sculptural features that can be identified separately from, and are capable of existing independently of, the utilitarian aspects of the article.")</ref><ref>[http://www.copyright.gov/docs/hr2696.html "Vessel Hull Design Protection Act of 1997 (H.R. 2696)"], Statement of MaryBeth Peters, The Register of Copyrights, before the Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property, Committee on the Judiciary, Oct. 23, 1997 ("It is a long-held view of the Office that a gap exists in legal protection for the designs of useful articles. Existing bodies of federal intellectual property law do not provide appropriate and practical coverage for such designs, while state law is largely preempted in this area. Consequently, while considerable investment and creativity may go into the creation of innovative designs, they often can be copied with impunity.").</ref>

==Anti-circumvention exemptions==
{{Update|inaccurate=yes|section|date=May 2013}}
In addition to the safe harbors and exemptions the statute explicitly provides, [http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap12.html#1201 17 U.S.C. 1201(a)(1)] requires that the [[Librarian of Congress]] issue exemptions from the prohibition against circumvention of access-control technology. Exemptions are granted when it is shown that access-control technology has had a substantial adverse effect on the ability of people to make non-infringing uses of copyrighted works.

The exemption rules are revised every three years. Exemption proposals are submitted by the public to the Registrar of Copyrights, and after a process of hearings and public comments, the final rule is recommended by the Registrar and issued by the Librarian. Exemptions expire after three years and must be resubmitted for the next rulemaking cycle.

=== Previous exemptions ===
The Copyright Office approved two exemptions in 2000, four in 2003, six each in 2006 and 2010, five in 2012, and nine in 2015.

** Noncommercial videos. (A new exemption in 2010, similar to a previous educational exemption.)
* Computer programs that enable [[Mobile phone|wireless telephone]] handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset. (A new exemption in 2010.)
* Computer programs, in the form of [[firmware]] or software, that enable used wireless telephone handsets to connect to a wireless telecommunications network, when circumvention is initiated by the owner of the copy of the computer program solely in order to connect to a wireless telecommunications network and access to the network is authorized by the operator of the network.

=== 2015 Study ===
After much criticism (see [[#Criticisms|below]]), on December 29, 2015, the Copyright Office initiated a study to assess the operation of section 1201 and the triennial rulemaking process. This is different from usual public comments on exemption proposals. It includes the role of the anti-trafficking provisions and permanent exemptions, and the requirements of the rulemaking itself. The Office has issued a Notice of Inquiry requesting public comment.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.copyright.gov/policy/1201/ |title=Section 1201 Study |work=U.S. Copyright Office |year=2015}}</ref>

In June 2017, the Copyright Office published a report where it "shares the concern" that Section 1201 can affect activities unrelated to copyright infringement, but also expressed concerns over weakening "the right of copyright owners to exercise meaningful control over the terms of access to their works online", which they believe is "essential to the development of the digital marketplace for creative content".<ref>[https://www.copyright.gov/policy/1201/section-1201-full-report.pdf Section 1201 of Title 17: A report of the Register of Copyrights] - United States Copyright Office, June 2017</ref> However, with respect to the question of whether the security research exemption granted in the 2015 Triennial cycle should be made permanent in some form, the Office recommended “that Congress consider expanding the reach of this exemption, easing the strict authorization requirement for researchers and restrictions on the use of information generated from the research, and abandoning or clarifying the multifactor test,” stating that “it continues to believe that the exemption adopted in 2015 can be a useful starting point, and notes that most of the security researchers who petitioned for that exemption .. agree.”<ref name=":1" />

==Case law==
===Anti-circumvention===
The anti-circumvention provisions in Section 1201 of the DMCA have seen some challenges in the courts but which have generally been upheld. While initially the challenges were focused on clear applications to software-based access control products, some cases considered how the DMCA also extended to hardware-based access controls.

====Software-based case law====
'''''[[Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Reimerdes]]/Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley''''' - Eight movie studios had sued [[Eric Corley]], Shawn Reimerdes, and Roman Kazan, editors of ''[[2600: The Hacker Quarterly]]'', for posting the code of [[DeCSS]], an algorithm to bypass the [[Content Scramble System]] (CSS) used to encrypt [[DVD]] content. The studios argued this was an anti-circumvention device under the DMCA. While Reimerdes and Kazan entered into consent decrees and were dropped from the suit, Corley continued the case, arguing that DeCSS as computer code was protected as free speech, and that this was one of the allowed provisions of fair use under the DMCA for users to make copies of media they legally owned. Both the District Court and the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit|Second Circuit]] rejected Corley's arguments. While they agreed that while a computer program may be protected speech, distribution of anti-circumvention devices was not considered a fair use option covered by Section 1201, and thus DeCSS violated the DMCA and was not protected by First Amendment rights.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Mihet | first = Harry | title = Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley: The Constitutional Underpinnings of Fair Use Remain an Open Question | journal = [[Duke Law & Technology Review]] | volume = 1 | issue = 1 | year = 2002 | pages = 1–11 }}</ref>

'''''[[United States v. Elcom Ltd.]]''''' - Moscow-based Elcom had developed software that was able to remove protections that one could place on an [[Adobe Acrobat]] PDF file, such as those used in [[ebook]] distribution. Adobe requested the U.S. Department of Justice take action against the company for violating the DMCA. Elcom argued in court that as written, the DMCA was unconstitutionally too vague and would allow for circumvention of use controls for purposes of fair use, and that it violated the First Amendment by placed too much burden on those seeking to use protected works for fair use. The initial ruling at the [[U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California]] rejected both arguments, following on the basis of ''Corley''. The ruling established that the DMCA was not unconstitutional, and that while it place a burden on accessing works for fair use, the DMCA did not outright restrict fair use; in the case of the ebook example, the ruling observed that the user may have to type a quote from the ebook rather than copy and paste from the unprotected version.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Sieber | first = Albert | title = The Constitutionality of the DMCA Explored: Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley & (and) United States v. Elcom Ltd. | journal = [[Berkeley Technology Law Journal]] |volume= 18 | issue= 7 |year= 2003 |pages= 7–42 }}</ref>

'''''[[321 Studios v. Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios, Inc.]]''''' - 321 Studios made copies that allowed users to copy DVDs, including those with CSS copy protection, to another DVD or to a CD-ROM. The company sought [[declaratory judgment]] from MGM Studios that their software did not violate the DMCA, or sought to have the DMCA ruled unconstitutional. The case, heard in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, ruled against 321 Studios on both arguments, based on the past rulings from ''Corley'' and ''Elcom'' that 321 Studios' software was not protected speech and violated the DMCA with no respect to fair use, and that the questions on the constitutionality of the DMCA were answered from the prior cases. The case law from ''Corley'', ''Elcom'' and ''321 Studios'' effectively established that the DMCA could not be challenged as an unconstitutional law.<ref name="btlj growing body"/>

====Durable goods case law====
'''''[[Chamberlain Group, Inc. v. Skylink Technologies, Inc.]]''''' - Chamberlain manufactured garage door openers, while Skylink created universal garage door openers remotes that worked with a variety of manufacturers. Chamberlain had developed a security protocol for its remotes to match the remote to the door opening motor via a software-based [[rolling code]] as to prevent unauthorized opening. Skylink had been able to use a resynchronization feature of the Chamberlain security software as to create a universal remote to work with the Chamberlain openers. Chamberlain sued Skylink as it argued the rolling code was effective an access control device and thus Skylink violated the DMCA. Both the [[United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois]] and the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit]] ruled in favor of Skylink that there was no DMCA violation. The courts ruled the DMCA did not create a new property right, and thus consumers that owned Chamberlain's product had a right to circumvent any restrictions, since this was typical practice on the market and customers, in purchasing a Chamberlain garage door opener, did not sign off to any [[end user license agreement]] to waive away those rights.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Sapp | first = Heather A. | title = Garage Door Openers and Toner Cartridges: Why Congress Should Revisit the Anti-circumvention Provisions of the DMCA | journal= [[Buffalo Intellectual Property Law Journal]] |volume = 3 | year =2005 | pages = 135–163 }}</ref>

'''''[[Lexmark International, Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc.]]''''' - Lexmark had developed a lock-out mechanism for its ink-jet printers that would require only its own ink cartridges to be used as replacements. The mechanism used an access program from the printer side that would then query a chip on the ink cartridge, and only accept that cartridge if it matched the expected response. Static Control Components had been able to reverse engineer the proper response by reading the program from the printer and were able to make their own third-party ink cartridges that worked with Lexmark printers. Lexmark sued under the DMCA and while they had won at the District Court, the case was reversed by the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit]]. The Sixth Circuit affirmed that while Lexmark's programs to manage the lockout were copyrightable and thus would be eligible for protections under the DMCA, they had failed to include an anti-circumvention device that "effectively controls access" to the printer lockout program.<ref name="btlj growing body">{{cite journal | last = Barker | first = Diane M. | title = Defining the contours of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act: The growing body of case law surrounding the DMCA | journal = [[Berkeley Technology Law Journal]] | volume = 20 | issue = 1 | year = 2005 | pages = 47–63 }}</ref>

===Linking to infringing content===
The law is currently unsettled with regard to websites that contain links to infringing material; however, there have been a few lower-court decisions which have ruled against linking in some narrowly prescribed circumstances. One is when the owner of a website has already been issued an injunction against posting infringing material on their website and then links to the same material in an attempt to circumvent the injunction. Another area involves linking to software or devices which are designed to circumvent ([[digital rights management]]) devices, or links from websites whose sole purpose is to circumvent copyright protection by linking to copyrighted material.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.webtvwire.com/linking-to-infringing-content-is-probably-illegal-in-the-us/|title=Linking to infringing content is probably illegal in the US|publisher=WebTVWire|date=2006-09-12|access-date=2006-10-12}}</ref>

====''Edelman v. N2H2''====
In July 2002, [[American Civil Liberties Union]] filed a lawsuit on the behalf of Benjamin Edelman, a computer researcher at Berkman Center for Internet and Society, seeking a [[declaratory judgment]] to affirm his first amendment rights when reverse engineering the censorware product of defendant N2H2 in case he intended to publish the finding. N2H2 filed a motion to dismiss, which the court granted. {{citation needed|date=September 2014}}

====''RealNetworks, Inc. v. DVD Copy Control Association, Inc.''====
{{main|RealNetworks, Inc. v. DVD Copy Control Association, Inc.}}
In August 2009, the [[DVD Copy Control Association]] won a lawsuit against [[RealNetworks]] for violating copyright law in selling its RealDVD software, allowing users to copy DVDs and store them on a harddrive. The DVD Copy Control Association claimed that Real violated the DMCA by circumventing anti-piracy measures [[ARccOS Protection]] and [[RipGuard]], as well as breaking Real's licensing agreement with the Content Scrambling System.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sandoval|first=Greg|url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10307921-93.html|title=RealNetworks loses critical ruling in RealDVD case|publisher=CNET.com|date=2009-08-11|access-date=2011-11-12}}</ref>

====''Viacom Inc. v. YouTube, Google Inc.''====
{{main|Viacom International Inc. v. YouTube, Inc.}}
On March 13, 2007, [[Viacom (2005–present)|Viacom]] filed a lawsuit against [[YouTube]] and its corporate parent [[Google]] for copyright infringement seeking more than $1 billion in damages. The complaint was filed in the [[U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York]].

Viacom claims the popular video-sharing site was engaging in "massive intentional copyright infringement" for making available a contended 160,000 unauthorized clips of Viacom's entertainment programming. Google relied on the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act's "safe harbor" provision to shield them from liability.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.cnet.com/Viacom-sues-Google-over-YouTube-clips/2100-1030_3-6166668.html?tag=nw.10|title=Viacom sues Google over YouTube clips|publisher=News.cnet.com|date=2007-03-13|access-date=2011-11-12}}</ref>

On June 23, 2010, U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton granted summary judgment in favor of YouTube.<ref>''Viacom Int'l Inc., et al., v. YouTube, Inc., et al.'', Nos. 07-Civ-2103 (LLS), 07-Civ-3582 (LLS) [https://www.google.com/press/pdf/msj_decision.pdf Opinion and Order] (S.D.N.Y. June 24, 2010).</ref> The court held that YouTube is protected by the safe harbor of the DMCA. Viacom appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-31001_3-20008636-261.html|work=cnet news|location=U.S.|title=Google defeats Viacom in landmark copyright case|first=Greg|last=Sandoval|date=June 23, 2010|access-date=June 23, 2010}}</ref>

On April 5, 2012, the federal Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated Judge Louis Stanton's ruling, and instead ruled that Viacom had presented enough evidence against YouTube to warrant a trial, and the case should not have been thrown out in summary judgment. The court did uphold the ruling that YouTube could not be held liable based on "general knowledge" that users on its site were infringing copyright. The case was sent back to the District Court in New York,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/171852/appeals-court-gives-viacom-second-shot-at-youtube.html|location= U.S.|title=Appeals Court Gives Viacom Second Shot at YouTube|first=Wendy|last=Davis|date=April 6, 2012|access-date=April 7, 2012}}</ref> and on April 18, 2013, Judge Stanton issued another order granting summary judgment in favor of YouTube.

====''IO Group, Inc. v. Veoh Networks, Inc.''====
{{main|IO Group, Inc. v. Veoh Networks, Inc.}}
On June 23, 2006, IO Group, Inc. filed a complaint against [[Veoh|Veoh Networks, Inc.]] in the U.S. District Court for California's Northern District.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB115154757274993889 |work=The Wall Street Journal|title=Veoh Faces Copyright Suit, A Test of Web Video|date=June 29, 2006|first=Kevin J.|last=Delaney}}</ref>

IO Group alleged that Veoh was responsible for copyright infringement by allowing videos owned by IO Group to be accessed through Veoh's online service without permission over 40,000 times between the dates June 1 and June 22.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ali|first=Rafat|url=http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/test-for-web-video-veoh-faces-copyright-suit|title=Test For Web Video? Veoh Faces Copyright Suit|publisher=paidContent|date=2006-06-28|access-date=2011-11-12}}</ref>

Veoh is a Flash video site relying on user contributed content. IO Group argued that since Veoh [[transcode]]d user uploaded videos to Flash format it became a direct infringer and the materials were under their direct control, thereby disqualifying them for DMCA safe harbor protection.

The ruling judge disagreed with the argument, stating that

<blockquote>Veoh has simply established a system whereby software automatically processes user-submitted content and recasts it in a format that is readily accessible to its users. Veoh preselects the software parameters for the process from a range of default values set by the thirdparty software... But Veoh does not itself actively participate or supervise the uploading of files. Nor does it preview or select the files before the upload is completed. Instead, video files are uploaded through an automated process which is initiated entirely at the volition of Veoh's users.</blockquote>

The Court has granted the Veoh's motion for [[summary judgment]], on the basis of the DMCA, holding that the defendant's video-sharing web site complied and was entitled to the protection of the statute's "safe harbor" provision.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2008/08/27/transcoding-is-not-a-crime-says-court-in-veoh-porn-case/|title=Transcoding Is Not A Crime, Says Court In Veoh Porn Case|publisher=TechCrunch|date=2008-08-27|access-date=2011-11-12}}</ref> Even though Veoh won the court case, it blamed the litigation as one of the causes of its preparing to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and its subsequent sale to Qlipso.<ref>"Content sharing company Qlipso buys Veoh" (Apr 9, 2010) Athena Information Solutions Pvt.

====''Lenz v. Universal Music Corp.''====
{{main|Lenz v. Universal Music Corp.}}
In 2007, Stephanie Lenz, a writer and editor from [[Gallitzin, Pennsylvania]] made a home video of her 13-month-old son dancing to the [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] song "[[Let's Go Crazy]]" and posted a 29-second video on the video-sharing site [[YouTube]]. Four months after the video was originally uploaded, [[Universal Music Group]], which owned the copyrights to the song, ordered YouTube to remove the video enforcing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Lenz notified YouTube immediately that her video was within the scope of fair use, and demanded that it be restored. YouTube complied after six weeks—not two weeks, as required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act—to see whether Universal planned to sue Lenz for infringement. Lenz then sued Universal Music in California for her legal costs, claiming the music company had acted in bad faith by ordering removal of a video that represented fair use of the song.<ref>{{cite news|first= Bob|last= Egelko|title=Woman can sue over YouTube clip de-posting|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/08/20/MNU412FKRL.DTL|work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]]|date=August 20, 2008|access-date=2008-08-25}}</ref>

In August 2008, U.S. District Judge [[Jeremy Fogel]] of [[San Jose, California]] ruled that copyright holders cannot order a deletion of an online file without determining whether that posting reflected "fair use" of the copyrighted material.

On February 25, 2010, Judge Fogel issued a ruling rejecting several of Universal's affirmative defenses, including the defense that Lenz suffered no damages.<ref>[http://thepriorart.typepad.com/the_prior_art/files/Lenz.2.25.order.pdf ''Lenz v. Universal Music Corp.'']</ref>

In 2015, the court ultimately upheld the finding that Universal was liable under 17 USC 512(f) (the DMCA's bad faith notice and takedown provision) for failing to consider fair use before sending its initial takedown notice.

====''Flava Works Inc. v. Gunter''====
{{main|Flava Works Inc. v. Gunter}}
In the case of Flava Works Inc. v. Gunter the court denied the defendant safe harbor protection under DMCA {{uscsub|17|512}}. The district court found that the defendant had knowledge of its users' infringing activity and also failed to prevent future infringing activity. As such the plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction was granted.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/illinois/ilndce/1:2010cv06517/248465/77/0.pdf|title=Memorandum opinion|first=John F.|last=Grady|date=27 July 2011|work=Court rule in favour of plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction.|access-date=21 November 2011}}</ref> On appeal, however, the Seventh Circuit vacated the injunction, citing the standard set in [[eBay Inc. v.

In this case of Ouellette v. Viacom International Inc., the court denied plaintiff's attempt to find liability for YouTube and Myspace's takedowns of the plaintiff's homemade videos. Despite potential fair use claims, the court found it impossible to use the DMCA takedown provisions as a foundation for liability. The court found that the safe harbor provision serves "to limit the liability of internet service providers, not to create liability that could not otherwise be imposed under existing law independent of the DMCA."<ref>[https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?q=Ouellette+v.+Viacom&hl=en&as_sdt=2,5&case=3753744983787595468&scilh=0 ''Ouellette v.

In 2013, Oliver Hotham wrote an article on [[WordPress.com|WordPress]] (owned by Automattic, Inc.) critical of Straight Pride UK that included material from a press release sent to him by Straight Pride UK's press officer, Nick Steiner. Steiner sent WordPress a DMCA takedown notice claiming that Hotham's article infringed their copyright. WordPress and Hotham sued in a federal District Court in California, under §512(f) of the DMCA, claiming that the takedown notice was fraudulent, and that the takedown cost the plaintiffs time, lost work and attorneys' fees. In 2015, the court issued a [[default judgment]] in favor of WordPress and Hotham in the amount of $25,084.<ref>Van der Sar, Ernesto.

Currently, there are three main abuses of the DMCA. First, fair use has been a legal gray area, and subject to opposing interpretations. This has caused inequity in the treatment of individual cases. Second, the DMCA has often been invoked overbearingly, favoring larger copyright holders over smaller ones. This has caused accidental takedowns of legitimate content, such as a record company accidentally removing a music video from their own artist. Third, the lack of consequences for perjury in claims encourages censorship. This has caused temporary takedowns of legitimate content that can be financially damaging to the legitimate copyright holder, who has no recourse for reimbursement. This has been used by businesses to censor competition.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Cobia|first=Jeffrey|year=2008|title=The Digital Millennium Copyright Act Takedown Notice Procedure: Misuses, Abuses, and Shortcomings of the Process|url=http://heinonline.org/HOL/Page?handle=hein.journals/mipr10&g_sent=1&collection=journals&id=391|journal=Minnesota Journal of Law Science & Technology|volume=1|pages=391–393|via=Hein Online}}</ref>

The use of DMCA-enabled takedown notices has been raised for a number of services that allow users to provide content. Early concerns were focused on [[peer-to-peer file sharing]] services such as [[BitTorrent]]. Such services grew after [[Napster]] was sued by several music industry groups in ''[[A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc.]]'' (2001) which ruled that Napster was liable for enabling copyright infringement under the DMCA since they maintained central servers that tracked file sharing; by switching to the peer-to-peer model, these new services avoided this possible legality. However, some still saw legal challenges, such as ''[[MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd.]]'' (2005) based on the fact they were operated commercially and promoted the ability to share copyrighted works. Non-commercial and open-source peer-to-peer services were able to survive from these case laws, leading entertainment groups to deploy software on the services to track downloads,<ref>{{Cite journal|title = The P2P war: Someone is monitoring your activities|journal = Computer Networks|date = 2008-04-24|pages = 1272–1280|volume = 52|issue = 6|doi = 10.1016/j.comnet.2008.01.011|first1 = Anirban|last1 = Banerjee|first2 = Michalis|last2 = Faloutsos|first3 = Laxmi|last3 = Bhuyan|citeseerx = 10.1.1.76.9451}}</ref> and subsequently attempted to serve takedown notices and sue users on the services for copyright violations under the DMCA since around 2003.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.wired.com/2008/09/proving-file-sh/ | title = File Sharing Lawsuits at a Crossroads, After 5 Years of RIAA Litigation | first = David | last = Kravitz| date = September 4, 2009 | access-date = December 30, 2020 | work = [[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] }}</ref> However, many of these methods were imprecise, leading to a number of false accusations at users.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/05/the-inexact-science-behind-dmca-takedown-notices/ | title = The Inexact Science Behind D.M.C.A.

=== Effect on analog video equipment ===

[[Analog Copy Protection]] (ACP), the encryption technology created by [[Rovi Corporation]] (formerly Macrovision, now TiVo), is designed to thwart users' attempts to reproduce content via analog cables. When a DVD is played through an analog video cable and recorded using a [[VCR]], Rovi's ACP technology will distort the copy partially or completely.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rovicorp.com/products/content_producers/protect/acp.htm|title=ACP|access-date=2010-07-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100327214055/http://www.rovicorp.com/products/content_producers/protect/acp.htm|archive-date=2010-03-27|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The technology works by adding additional lines to the video signal. In the [[NTSC]] video standard, blank lines ([[vertical blanking interval]]s) that the user cannot see are used for functions like closed captioning. Rovi Corporation uses these blank lines to implement its ACP technology.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci213677,00.html|title=Vertical blanking interval}}</ref>

The implementation of ACP has been ill-regarded by some video enthusiasts. Many claim that the technology has led to signal issues with VCRs and analog video equipment. Some VCRs misread the encryption used to prevent copying, distorting the video image regardless of whether the recording is original or a copy.

The DMCA has been criticized for forcing all producers of analog video equipment to support the proprietary copy protection technology of Rovi Corporation, a commercial firm. The producers of video equipment are forced by law to support and implement the corporation's proprietary technology. This benefits Rovi Corporation financially, whereas those forced to implement it receive neither profit nor compensation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/19|title=Analog Off|website=Publicknowledge.org|access-date=2010-07-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100627184546/http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/19|archive-date=2010-06-27|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Another DMCA Misuse: Macrovision v.

Additionally, some criticize the implementation of ACP as a violation of their [[fair use]] rights. A recently developed TV-streaming product called the [[Slingbox]] uses analog signals to convey video from television to a mobile device. However, the encryption used by ACP blocks analog transmission, rendering the Slingbox unusable. Additionally ACP blocks the use of recording for educational purposes. On one or more accounts, students have not been able to cite and record cable sources properly due to ACP restrictions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eff.org/issues/analog-hole|title=Analog Hole|publisher=Electronic Frontier Foundation|access-date=2013-01-13}}</ref>

==Legislative reform==
{{See also|Digital Copyright Act}}

There have been several Congressional efforts to modify the Act. [[The Unlocking Technology Act of 2013]] was introduced to attempt to exempt non-infringing uses from the anti-circumvention clause.<ref name="Couts">{{Cite news|author=Couts, Andrew|date=9 May 2013|title=Awesome new bill legalizes cell phone unlocking, 'fixes' the DMCA|newspaper=Digital Trends Newsletter|publisher=Designtechnica Corporation|url=http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/new-bill-legalizes-cell-phone-unlocking-fixes-the-dmca/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130703073505/http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/new-bill-legalizes-cell-phone-unlocking-fixes-the-dmca/|archive-date=3 July 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> However, the bill was not passed by Congress. In 2014, the [[Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act]] was passed, granting a specific exemption for unlocking cell phones, without affecting the other provisions of the DMCA.

Bills in 2015 included the Unlocking Technology Act of 2015,<ref>[https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr1587/text Govtrack.us]</ref> and the Breaking Down Barriers to Innovation Act of 2015.<ref>[https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/990 Congress.gov]</ref> Republicans are considering legislation as well, as it becomes clear that Section 1201 is impeding the country's security. Facing escalating numbers of cyberthreats, cybersecurity researchers petitioned to conduct research to keep pace with evolving cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, stating: "Without such an exemption, security risks will lie unaddressed and the public will be substantially less safe."<ref>[http://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1007&context=lawfac_reports Engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu]</ref> The bills are intended to address the fact that section 1201 prevents circumvention even when doing so is not copyright infringement. In addition, the section requires exemption proponents to bear the burden of proof every time their exemption comes up for triennial review, instead of there being a presumption of renewal for an exemption whose importance was previously proven.

[[Rick Boucher]], a congressman from Virginia, led previous efforts by introducing the [[Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act]] (DMCRA).

A prominent bill related to the DMCA is the [[Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act]] (CBDTPA), known in early drafts as the Security Systems and Standards Certification Act (SSSCA). This bill, if it had passed, would have dealt with the devices used to access digital content and would have been even more restrictive than the DMCA.{{vague|date=February 2015}}

Senator [[Thom Tillis]] introduced a draft revision of the DMCA in December 2020. A fundamental change in his language would be to support "[[notice and stay down]]" for service providers, requiring them to take measures to prevent material that has already been determined to be violating copyright to be re-uploaded by users. While the draft was praised by the entertainment industry, free speech advocacy groups feared the language would require services to employ automatic filtering and would further limit freedom of expression.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://variety.com/2020/politics/news/thom-tillis-online-copyright-act-1234871695/ | title = Sen.

'''Google News''' is a [[news aggregator]] service developed by [[Google Search|Google]]. It presents a continuous flow of links to articles organized from thousands of publishers and magazines. Google News is available as an app on [[Android (operating system)|Android]], [[iOS]], and [[Web application|the Web]].

Google released a [[Software release life cycle#Beta|beta version]] in September 2002 and the official app in January 2006.<ref>Krishna Bharat, [http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/and-now-news.html "And now, News"], The Official Google Blog, January 23, 2006. "We're taking Google News out of beta! When we launched the English-language edition in September 2002, we entered untested waters with a grand experiment in news browsing – using computers to organize the world's news in real time and providing a bird's eye view of what's being reported on virtually any topic. By presenting news "clusters" (related articles in a group), we thought it would encourage readers to get a broader perspective by digging deeper into the news – reading ten articles instead of one, perhaps – and then gain a better understanding of the issues, which could ultimately benefit society. A bit more than three years later, we offer 22 regional editions in 10 languages, and have a better sense of how people use Google News".

[[Google Street View]] was first introduced in the [[United States]] on May 25, 2007, and until November 26, 2008, featured camera icon markers, each representing at least one major city or area (such as a park), and usually the other nearby cities, towns, suburbs, and parks. Many areas that had coverage were represented by icons.

==Key additions==
[[File:Google Street View timelapse additions.gif|thumb|right|500px|Timelapse additions from the start of the service to present, including countries with public street view available]]
* In 2005, Street View project begins, Google employees start the first tests using a van equipped with cameras on the roof in the San Francisco area.
* On May 25, 2007, Street View was announced.
* On May 30, 2007, at the Where 2.0 Conference, [[Immersive Media]] was identified as the contractor that captured the imagery for four of the five cities initially mapped by Street View, using its patented dodecahedral camera array on a moving car. Immersive Media continued to do image capture for Street View until Google developed its own capability to do so.<ref name="Google Earth Blog">{{cite web|url=http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2007/05/technology_behind_go.html |title=Google Earth Blog |date=May 31, 2007 |access-date=October 25, 2011}}</ref><ref name="CNET News">{{cite web|url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-9724565-2.html |title=CNET News |date=May 31, 2007 |access-date=October 25, 2011}}</ref> Since July 2007,{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}} Google has used imagery that belongs exclusively to Google.
* On April 16, 2008, Street View was fully integrated into [[Google Earth|Google Earth 4.3]].
* On May 5, 2008, Google improves its quality, the captures become in high quality.
* On May 12, 2008, Google announced that it was testing face-blurring technology on its photos of the busy streets of Manhattan.<ref name="Frome">{{cite web|last=Frome |first=Andrea |author-link=Andrea Frome|url=http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2008/05/street-view-revisits-manhattan.html |title=Google's LatLong Blog |publisher=Google-latlong.blogspot.com |date=May 12, 2008 |access-date=August 27, 2010}}</ref> The technology uses a computer algorithm to search Google's image database for faces and blurs them, according to John Hanke, director of Google Earth and Google Maps.<ref name="Shankland">{{cite web|last=Shankland |first=Stephen |url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9943140-7.html |title=Google begins blurring faces in Street View |publisher=CNET |access-date=August 27, 2010}}</ref>
* On June 10, 2008, two other features included in the update were an effective mask of the "Google Car" and the application of face-blurring technology on all photos, which effectively lowered the resolution across all photos, even the formerly impressive high resolution images of San Francisco. Also, many nearby metro areas were included, but they did not receive their own camera icons.
* On July 2, 2008, Google Street View was introduced in France and Italy, providing the first service outside the United States and the debut of Google's new 4th Generation Cameras. On this day, 19 camera icons were added, mostly showing small towns and areas along the [[Tour de France]] route and part of northwestern Italy.
* On August 4, 2008, 28 icons of major metropolitan areas of both Australia and Japan were added to Google Street View. Included in the update were approximately 40 new U.S. hub cities.
* On November 26, 2008, the Street View button and all the camera icons were deleted. Instead of clicking the "Street View" button, this is now accessed using the "pegman" button in the left hand corner. When the "pegman" icon is dragged over the map blue polylines appear where Street View is available and a small window will show the current Street View. If this is dropped on the map the Street View opens and takes over the whole map window.
* On December 1, 2008, New Zealand was added to Google Street View. Faces were blurred upon recommendation by the ''New Zealand Privacy Commission'', but vehicle registration plates were not obscured.
* On April 9, 2009, Street View became available with a full-screen option.
* On June 5, 2009, Smart Navigation was introduced which allows users to navigate around the panoramas by double-clicking with their cursor on any place or object they want to see.<ref name="Pcworld.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/166178/google.html |title=Google Street View Gets Smart Navigation |work=PC World |date=June 5, 2009 |access-date=August 27, 2010}}</ref>
* In January 2010, Google begins to introduce the 3rd generation of cameras allowing better quality in the captured images.
* In mid June 2010, Google added blue dots to its maps that display user-submitted images in all locations around the world, including land areas where Street View is not available and bodies of water. These images can be pulled up on the screen in the same manner as a Street View image with the pegman by dragging it onto the blue dot.
* On October 30, 2012, Google announced that users could contribute to Street View by creating a panorama-like image from the [[Galaxy Nexus]] smartphone to share on Google Maps.
* On February 14, 2013, ''[[Wii Street U]]'' was released for the [[Wii U]].<ref name="Warn">{{cite web |url=https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/n4tuSuxCIbxWj4-QqKgX3aI2lctLCn8u |title=Warn |publisher=Nintendo.com |access-date=July 1, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130622141706/http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/n4tuSuxCIbxWj4-QqKgX3aI2lctLCn8u |archive-date=June 22, 2013 }}</ref>
* On June 27, 2013, Google announced that users could contribute to Street View by creating a panorama-like image from the [[Samsung Galaxy|Galaxy non-Nexus]] smartphone to share on Google Maps.
* On November 6, 2013, Google reintroduces Pegman, having disappeared a few months, to make way for a new design, and even Pegman who introduces the icons following the location.
* On April 23, 2014, a new historical Street View option was introduced to new Google Maps. The date of panoramas can be selected from the timeline.
* Starting in August 2017, Google allows users to create their own street view-like blue paths, for the connected photospheres that are sufficiently close to one another.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW8YKwuFGkc| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211118/EW8YKwuFGkc| archive-date=2021-11-18 | url-status=live|title=Google Street View 2017 Announcements – Stafford Marquardt – Vienna 2017 IVRPA|last=IVRPA – International Virtual Reality Photography Association|date=August 27, 2017|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
* On September 7, 2017, Google announces the arrival of a new generation of more efficient and precise cameras on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Street View. This is the 4th generation of cameras, sporting a more refined profile and a blue color.
* On December 3, 2020, Google announced that users could contribute to Street View by capturing video using their AR-supported phones using the Street View app.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Perez |first1=Sarah |title=Google now lets anyone contribute to Street View using AR and an app |url=https://techcrunch.com/2020/12/03/google-now-lets-anyone-contribute-to-street-view-using-ar-and-an-app/ |access-date=20 April 2021 |work=TechCrunch |date=3 December 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Warren |first1=Tom |title=Google Maps now lets you create Street View photos with just a phone |url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/3/22149884/google-maps-street-view-photos-phone-android-update |access-date=20 April 2021 |work=The Verge |date=3 December 2020 }}</ref>

[[File:Blank page intentionally end of book.jpg|thumb|350px|Intentionally blank pages at the end of a book]]

An '''intentionally blank page''' or '''vacat page''' (from Latin: ''vacare'' for "being empty") is a [[page (paper)|page]] that is devoid of content and may be unexpected. Such pages may serve purposes ranging from place-holding to space-filling and content separation. Sometimes, these pages carry a notice such as "'''This page intentionally left blank.'''" Such notices typically appear in printed works, such as legal documents, manuals, and exam papers, in which the reader might otherwise suspect that the blank pages are due to a [[printing]] error and where missing pages might have serious consequences.

==Uses for intentionally blank pages==
[[File:AEC blank page.png|250px|left|thumb|An intentionally blank page on a PDF document from the [[Australian Electoral Commission]]. The document has 80 printable pages, and content ends on page 77.]]

Intentionally blank pages are usually the result of printing conventions and techniques. Chapters conventionally start on an odd-numbered page ([[Recto and verso|recto page]]); therefore, if the preceding chapter happens to have an odd number of pages, a blank page is inserted at the end. Book pages are often printed on large sheets because of technical and financial considerations. Thus, a group of 8, 16, or 32 consecutive pages will be printed on a single sheet in such a way that when the sheet is mechanically folded and cut, the pages will be in the correct order for binding. This is called an [[even working]], and the group of pages is called a section or signature. Books printed in this manner will always have a number of pages that is a multiple of the number in such a signature, such as a multiple of 8, 16, or 32. As a result, these books will usually have pages left blank, unless by chance or editorial ingenuity the exact number of pages is printed.

For example, if a book with 318 pages of content is printed using 32-page signatures, it will require 10 signatures, 320 pages in total. At the very end of the book{{spaced ndash}}that is, at the end of the last signature{{spaced ndash}}there will be two unused (blank) pages.

If a printer's document processor has been designed to skip completely blank pages, notices may also be required on intentionally blank pages to prevent incorrect [[page numbering]].

Intentionally blank pages are ubiquitous in technical and instructional manuals, directories, and other large, mass-produced volumes of text. The contents of manuals produced by a given product's vendor are often compiled from generic instructions suitable for a variety of products, with additional instructions or chapters included for the specific product or model in question. This automation of manual generation leads to intentionally blank pages to fit the requirements for mass printing.

In digital documents, pages are intentionally left blank so that the document can be printed correctly in double-sided format, rather than have new chapters start on the backs of pages. Intentionally blank pages have also been used in documents distributed in [[ring binder]]s. The intention is to leave room for expansion without breaking the document's page numbering. This allows updates to be made to a document while requiring minimal new pages, reducing printing costs. The only drawback is the increased time required by the reader to manually insert various newly updated pages into their correct locations in the document.

===Standardized tests===
[[File:No test material on this page.svg|thumb|right|250px|Intentionally blank page in the style used in [[standardized test]]s]]
Intentionally blank pages can be useful in [[standardized test]]s such as the [[GCSE]], [[Higher School Certificate (New South Wales)|Higher School Certificate]], [[SAT]], [[Common Admission Test|CAT]], [[ACT (examination)|ACT]], [[MCAT]], and [[Graduate Record Examination|GRE]]. In these exams, there are often individual, timed sections in which test-takers are prohibited from proceeding to the next section until that section's time interval has passed and the examiner allows them to continue. Because all of these separate sections are printed consecutively in the examination booklet, it may be possible for a test-taker who has finished the section early to see through the page and read the problems in the next section. By placing intentionally blank pages between these sections, the test-taker is prevented from cheating in this way. By printing a notice on the page, such as ''"this page has been intentionally left blank",'' test-takers will not be concerned that their test has been misprinted, especially as test instructions often instruct students to check for missing or blank pages and to report any defective test booklets to a proctor. These pages may also be useful as [[scratch paper]].

===Sheet music===
In books of [[sheet music]], relatively short pieces of music that span two to four pages often need to be arranged so the number of page turns for the performer is minimized. For example, a three-page work (starting on the left-hand sheet) followed immediately by a two-page work involves one page turn during each work. If a blank page immediately followed the three-page work (on the right-hand sheet), the two-page work will span the left and right pages, alleviating the need for a page turn during the second work. Intentionally blank pages may also prevent a page turn during a difficult passage.

===Classified documents===
In the United States armed forces, [[Classified information|classified]] documents require page checks whenever custody is transferred or an inventory is conducted.<ref>{{cite web|last=Chaney |first=Scott |title=NAVEDTRA 14127: Intelligence Specialist 3 & 2, Volume 1 |work=Non-Resident Course |publisher=Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center ([[United States Navy]]) |url=http://www.militarynewbie.com/pubs/NAVEDTRA%2014127%20-%20Intelligence%20Specialist%203%20&%202,%20Volume%201.pdf |date=November 1996 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714094003/http://www.militarynewbie.com/pubs/NAVEDTRA%2014127%20-%20Intelligence%20Specialist%203%20%26%202%2C%20Volume%201.pdf |archive-date=14 July 2011 |access-date=24 June 2014 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Blank pages are all marked "This page intentionally left blank", so page checks are unambiguous, and every page of the document is accounted for.

==Variations==
Intentionally blank pages placed at the end of books are often used to balance the [[Bookbinding|folio]]s that make up the book (see [[bookbinding]]). Often these pages are completely blank with no such statement or are used as "Notes" pages, serving a practical purpose. In the case of [[telephone directory|telephone-number directories]], these pages are often used to list important numbers and addresses. These pages may list other books available from the same publisher.

Book publishers have also used stylized designs ([[dingbat]]s) underneath the last paragraph of a chapter to indicate that no other content is to be expected until the next chapter, allowing for the possibility of blank pages without misunderstandings by the readers.

There are also published books that, as a novelty, [[empty book|contain nothing but blank pages]].

==Examples==
*Humorist [[Don Novello]]'s 1977 book ''The Lazlo Letters'' ends with several otherwise-blank pages marked "FREE PAPER!".{{Verify source|date=February 2011}}
*[[Andy Griffiths (author)|Andy Griffiths]]' 1999 children's book ''[[Just Stupid!]]'' begins with a cartoon snail saying to the reader, "This page would be blank if I were not here telling you that this page would be blank if I were not here telling you that..."
*Comedian [[Demetri Martin]]'s 2012 book ''This Is A Book'' contains an otherwise blank page which says, "This page unintentionally left blank."
*[[List of Iranian writers|Iranian novelist]] [[Reza Amirkhani]]'s book ''Man-e-oo'' (His Ego) has one whole chapter of blank pages.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ermia.ir/contents.aspx?id=762 |title= آن چه در وب راجع به من او نوشته‌اند (۱۵) (What has been written about ''Man-e-oo'' on the web (15)|last1= Amirkhani|first1= Reza |date= 18 February 2012 |website= Reza Amirkhani's Official Website |access-date=11 December 2013}}</ref>
*The phrase was a recurring joke in [[Infocom]] text adventure games. In their first title, ''[[Zork 1]]'', inspecting an engraved wooden door resulted in the text: "The engravings translate to 'This space intentionally left blank'."
*[[Idries Shah]]'s book ''[[The Book of the Book]]'' contains 10 pages describing why the following pages are important, and then a large number of blank pages. Its main purpose is to demonstrate the theory that [[Don't judge a book by its cover|you shouldn't judge the content by its container]].<ref name="The book at google books.">{{cite book|last1=Shah|first1=Idries|title=The book of the book.|date=1969|publisher=Octagon Pr.|location=London|isbn=9780900860126|edition=4. impr.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WviNfB2q_oEC&q=shah+The+Book+of+the+Book&pg=PP3|access-date=1 December 2015}}</ref>
*A chapter of ''[[The Tale of Genji]]'' titled ''Kumogakure'' ("Vanished into the Clouds") is left blank but implies the death of Genji.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Chiappa |first1=J.

Copyrights can be granted by public law and are in that case considered "territorial rights". This means that copyrights granted by the law of a certain state, do not extend beyond the territory of that specific jurisdiction. Copyrights of this type vary by country; many countries, and sometimes a large group of countries, have made agreements with other countries on procedures applicable when works "cross" national borders or national rights are inconsistent.<ref name="International Copyright Law Survey">{{cite web |url=http://worldcopyrightlaw.com/copyrightsurvey |title=International Copyright Law Survey |publisher=Mincov Law Corporation }}</ref>

Typically, the public law [[Copyright term|duration of a copyright]] expires 50 to 100 years after the creator dies, [[List of countries' copyright lengths|depending on the jurisdiction]]. Some countries require certain [[copyright formalities]]<ref name=":3" /> to establishing copyright, others recognize copyright in any completed work, without a formal registration. When the copyright of a work expires, it enters the [[public domain]].

== History ==
{{Main|History of copyright}}
[[File:European Output of Books 500–1800.png|thumb|upright=2|European output of books before the advent of copyright, 6th century to 18th century. Blue shows printed books. [[Log-lin plot]]; a straight line therefore shows an exponential increase.]]

=== Background ===
The concept of copyright developed after the [[printing press]] came into use in Europe<ref name=histpersp/> in the 15th and 16th centuries.<ref>Joanna Kostylo, "From Gunpowder to Print: The Common Origins of Copyright and Patent", in Ronan Deazley et al., ''Privilege and Property: Essays on the History of Copyright'' (Cambridge: Open Book, 2010), 21-50; online at books.openedition.org/obp/1062</ref> The printing press made it much cheaper to produce works, but as there was initially no copyright law, anyone could buy or rent a press and print any text. Popular new works were immediately re-[[Typesetting|set]] and re-published by competitors, so printers needed a constant stream of new material. Fees paid to authors for new works were high, and significantly supplemented the incomes of many academics.<ref name=reason/>

Printing brought [[print culture|profound social changes]]. The rise in [[literacy]] across [[Europe]] led to a dramatic increase in the [[demand]] for reading matter.<ref name=histpersp>''Copyright in Historical Perspective'', p. 136-137, Patterson, 1968, Vanderbilt Univ. Press</ref> Prices of reprints were low, so publications could be bought by poorer people, creating a mass audience.<ref name=reason/> In German language markets before the advent of copyright, technical materials, like popular fiction, were inexpensive and widely available; it has been suggested this contributed to Germany's industrial and economic success.<ref name=reason/> After copyright law became established (in 1710 in England and Scotland, and in the 1840s in German-speaking areas) the low-price mass market vanished, and fewer, more expensive editions were published; distribution of scientific and technical information was greatly reduced.<ref name=reason>{{cite news |last1=Thadeusz |first1=Frank |title=No Copyright Law: The Real Reason for Germany's Industrial Expansion? |url=https://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/no-copyright-law-the-real-reason-for-germany-s-industrial-expansion-a-710976.html |work=Spiegel Online |date=18 August 2010}}</ref><ref name=world>{{cite magazine |last1=Lasar |first1=Matthew |title=Did Weak Copyright Laws Help Germany Outpace The British Empire? |url=https://www.wired.com/2010/08/copyright-germany-britain/ |magazine=Wired |date=23 August 2010}}</ref>

=== Conception ===
The concept of copyright first developed in [[England]]. In reaction to the printing of "scandalous books and pamphlets", the [[Parliament of England|English Parliament]] passed the [[Licensing of the Press Act 1662]],<ref name=histpersp/> which required all intended publications to be registered with the government-approved [[Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers|Stationers' Company]], giving the Stationers the right to regulate what material could be printed.<ref>{{Cite journal |doi=10.1086/677787 |title=''Cum privilegio'': Licensing of the Press Act of 1662 |journal=The Library Quarterly |volume=84 |issue=4 |pages=494–500 |url=https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/1/17219056/1/677787.pdf |year=2014 |last1=Nipps |first1=Karen |s2cid=144070638 }}</ref>

The [[Statute of Anne]], enacted in 1710 in England and Scotland provided the first legislation to protect copyrights (but not authors' rights). The Copyright Act of 1814 extended more rights for authors but did not protect British from reprinting in the US. The [[Berne convention|Berne International Copyright Convention]] of 1886 finally provided protection for authors among the countries who signed the agreement, although the US did not join the Berne Convention until 1989.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last=Day O'Connor|first=Sandra|date=2002|title=Copyright Law from an American Perspective|journal=Irish Jurist|volume=37|pages=16–22|jstor=44027015}}</ref>

In the US, the Constitution grants Congress the right to establish copyright and patent laws. Shortly after the Constitution was passed, Congress enacted the [[Copyright Act of 1790]], modeling it after the Statute of Anne. While the national law protected authors’ published works, authority was granted to the states to protect authors’ unpublished works. The most recent major overhaul of copyright in the US, the [[1976 Copyright Act]], extended federal copyright to works as soon as they are created and "fixed", without requiring publication or registration. State law continues to apply to unpublished works that are not otherwise copyrighted by federal law.<ref name=":2" /> This act also changed the calculation of copyright term from a fixed term (then a maximum of fifty-six years) to "life of the author plus 50 years". These changes brought the US closer to conformity with the Berne Convention, and in 1989 the United States further revised its copyright law and joined the Berne Convention officially.<ref name=":2" />

Copyright laws allow products of creative human activities, such as literary and artistic production, to be preferentially exploited and thus incentivized. Different cultural attitudes, social organizations, economic models and legal frameworks are seen to account for why copyright emerged in Europe and not, for example, in Asia. In the [[Middle Ages]] in Europe, there was generally a lack of any concept of literary property due to the general relations of production, the specific organization of literary production and the role of culture in society. The latter refers to the tendency of oral societies, such as that of Europe in the medieval period, to view knowledge as the product and expression of the collective, rather than to see it as individual property. However, with copyright laws, intellectual production comes to be seen as a product of an individual, with attendant rights. The most significant point is that patent and copyright laws support the expansion of the range of creative human activities that can be commodified. This parallels the ways in which [[capitalism]] led to the [[commodification]] of many aspects of social life that earlier had no monetary or economic value per se.<ref>Bettig, Ronald V. (1996). ''Copyrighting Culture: The Political Economy of Intellectual Property. Westview Press''. p. 9–17. {{ISBN |0-8133-1385-6 }}.</ref>

Copyright has developed into a concept that has a significant effect on nearly every modern industry, including not just literary work, but also forms of creative work such as [[Sound recording and reproduction|sound recordings]], [[film]]s, [[photograph]]s, [[software]], and [[architecture]].

{{See also|Statute of Anne |History of copyright law of the United States }}
[[File:Statute of anne.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Statute of Anne]] (the Copyright Act 1709) came into force in 1710.]]
Often seen as the first real copyright law, the 1709 British [[Statute of Anne]] gave the publishers rights for a fixed period, after which the copyright expired.<ref name="Rethinking copyright: history, theory, language">{{Cite book |title=Rethinking copyright: history, theory, language |page=13 |last=Ronan |first=Deazley |isbn=978-1-84542-282-0 |year=2006 |publisher=Edward Elgar Publishing. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dMYXq9V1JBQC |via=Google Books }}</ref>
The act also alluded to individual rights of the artist. It began, "Whereas Printers, Booksellers, and other Persons, have of late frequently taken the Liberty of Printing ... Books, and other Writings, without the Consent of the Authors ... to their very great Detriment, and too often to the Ruin of them and their Families:".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.copyrighthistory.com/anne.html |title=Statute of Anne |publisher=Copyrighthistory.com |access-date=8 June 2012 }}</ref> A right to benefit financially from the work is articulated, and court rulings and legislation have recognized a right to control the work, such as ensuring that the integrity of it is preserved. An irrevocable right to be recognized as the work's creator appears in some countries' copyright laws.

The [[Copyright Clause]] of the United States, Constitution (1787) authorized copyright legislation: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." That is, by guaranteeing them a period of time in which they alone could profit from their works, they would be enabled and encouraged to invest the time required to create them, and this would be good for society as a whole. A right to profit from the work has been the philosophical underpinning for much legislation extending the duration of copyright, to the life of the creator and beyond, to their heirs.

The original length of copyright in the United States was 14 years, and it had to be explicitly applied for. If the author wished, they could apply for a second 14‑year monopoly grant, but after that the work entered the [[public domain]], so it could be used and built upon by others.

Copyright law was enacted rather [[Copyright in Germany|late in German states]], and the historian Eckhard Höffner argues that the absence of copyright laws in the early 19th century encouraged publishing, was profitable for authors, led to a proliferation of books, enhanced knowledge, and was ultimately an important factor in the ascendency of Germany as a power during that century.<ref name="thad">{{Cite magazine |url=http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,710976,00.html |author=Frank Thadeusz |title=No Copyright Law: The Real Reason for Germany's Industrial Expansion? |magazine=[[Der Spiegel]] |date=18 August 2010 |access-date=11 April 2015 }}</ref> However, empirical evidence derived from the exogenous differential introduction of copyright in Napoleonic Italy shows that "basic copyrights increased both the number and the quality of operas, measured by their popularity and durability".<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Giorcelli|first1=Michela|last2=Moser|first2=Petra|date=1 March 2020|title=Copyright and Creativity.

The 1886 [[Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works|Berne Convention]] first established recognition of copyrights among [[Sovereignty|sovereign nations]], rather than merely bilaterally. Under the Berne Convention, copyrights for [[creative works]] do not have to be asserted or declared, as they are automatically in force at creation: an author need not "register" or "apply for" a copyright in countries adhering to the Berne Convention.<ref name="Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works Article 5">{{Cite web |url=http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/berne/trtdocs_wo001.html#P109_16834 |title=Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works Article 5 |access-date=18 November 2011 |publisher=World Intellectual Property Organization }}</ref> As soon as a work is "fixed", that is, written or recorded on some physical medium, its author is automatically entitled to all copyrights in the work, and to any derivative works unless and until the author explicitly disclaims them, or until the copyright expires. The Berne Convention also resulted in foreign authors being treated equivalently to domestic authors, in any country signed onto the Convention. The UK signed the Berne Convention in 1887 but did not implement large parts of it until 100 years later with the passage of the [[Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988]]. Specially, for educational and scientific research purposes, the Berne Convention provides the developing countries issue compulsory licenses for the translation or reproduction of copyrighted works within the limits prescribed by the Convention. This was a special provision that had been added at the time of 1971 revision of the Convention, because of the strong demands of the developing countries. The United States did not sign the Berne Convention until 1989.<ref>Garfinkle, Ann M; Fries, Janet; Lopez, Daniel; Possessky, Laura (1997). "Art conservation and the legal obligation to preserve artistic intent". [[JAIC]] 36 (2): 165–179.</ref>

The United States and most [[Latin America]]n countries instead entered into the [[Buenos Aires Convention]] in 1910, which required a copyright notice on the work (such as ''[[all rights reserved]]''), and permitted signatory nations to limit the duration of copyrights to shorter and renewable terms.<ref>[http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ38a.pdf "International Copyright Relations of the United States"], U.S. Copyright Office Circular No. 38a, August 2003.</ref><ref>[http://www.unesco.org/culture/copyright/html_eng/ucc52ms.pdf Parties to the Geneva Act of the Universal Copyright Convention] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080625003242/http://www.unesco.org/culture/copyright/html_eng/ucc52ms.pdf |date=25 June 2008 }} as of 1 January 2000: the dates given in the document are dates of ratification, not dates of coming into force. The Geneva Act came into force on 16 September 1955, for the first twelve to have ratified (which included four non-members of the Berne Union as required by Art. 9.1), or three months after ratification for other countries.</ref><ref>[http://www.copyright.ht/en 165 Parties to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306215357/http://copyright.ht/en |date=6 March 2016 }} as of May 2012.</ref> The [[Universal Copyright Convention]] was drafted in 1952 as another less demanding alternative to the Berne Convention, and ratified by nations such as the [[Soviet Union]] and developing nations.

The regulations of the [[Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works|Berne Convention]] are incorporated into the [[World Trade Organization]]'s [[Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights|TRIPS]] agreement (1995), thus giving the Berne Convention effectively near-global application.<ref name="Contemporary Intellectual Property: Law and Policy">{{Cite book |title=Contemporary Intellectual Property: Law and Policy |url= https://www.google.com/books?id=_Iwcn4pT0OoC |via=Google Books |page=39 |author1=MacQueen, Hector L |author2=Charlotte Waelde |author3=Graeme T Laurie |isbn=978-0-19-926339-4 |year=2007 |publisher=Oxford University Press }}</ref>

In 1961, the [[United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property]] signed the [[Rome Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations]]. In 1996, this organization was succeeded by the founding of the [[World Intellectual Property Organization]], which launched the 1996 [[WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty]] and the 2002 [[World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty|WIPO Copyright Treaty]], which enacted greater restrictions on the use of technology to copy works in the nations that ratified it. The [[Trans-Pacific Partnership]] includes [[Trans-Pacific Partnership Intellectual Property Provisions|intellectual Property Provisions]] relating to copyright.

Copyright laws are standardized somewhat through these international conventions such as the Berne Convention and Universal Copyright Convention. These multilateral treaties have been ratified by nearly all countries, and [[international organizations]] such as the [[European Union]] or [[World Trade Organization]] require their member states to comply with them.

== Obtaining protection ==
=== Ownership ===
The original holder of the copyright may be the employer of the author rather than the author himself if the work is a "[[work for hire]]".<ref>17 U.S.C. § 201(b); Cmty. for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid, 490 U.S. 730 (1989)</ref><ref>[[Community for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid]]</ref> For example, in [[English law]] the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides that if a copyrighted work is made by an employee in the course of that employment, the copyright is automatically owned by the employer which would be a "Work for Hire". Typically, the first owner of a copyright is the person who created the work i.e. the [[author]].<ref name="fairuse.stanford.edu">{{Cite web |url=https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/faqs/copyright-ownership/ |title=Copyright Ownership: Who Owns What? |last=Stim |first=Rich |website=The Center for Internet and Society Fair Use Project |publisher=Stanford University |access-date=21 July 2019 |date=27 March 2013 }}</ref> But when more than one person creates the work, then a case of [[joint authorship]] can be made provided some criteria are met.

=== Eligible works ===
Copyright may apply to a wide range of creative, intellectual, or artistic forms, or "works". Specifics vary by [[jurisdiction]], but these can include [[poem]]s, [[theses]], [[Copyright Protection for Fictional Characters|fictional characters]], [[drama|plays]] and other [[book|literary works]], [[film|motion pictures]], [[choreography]], [[music]]al compositions, [[sound recording]]s, [[painting]]s, [[drawing]]s, [[sculpture]]s, [[photography|photographs]], [[computer software]], [[radio]] and [[television]] [[Broadcasting|broadcasts]], and [[industrial design]]s. Graphic [[designs]] and industrial designs may have separate or overlapping laws applied to them in some jurisdictions.<ref name="Intellectual Property and Information Wealth: Copyright and related rights">{{Cite book |title=Intellectual Property and Information Wealth: Copyright and related rights |url=https://www.google.com/books?id=tgK9BzcF5WgC&as_brr=3 |page=346 |last=Pete|first=K, Yu |isbn=978-0-275-98883-8 |year=2007 |publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=http://www.wipo.int/publications/en/details.jsp?id=4081 |format=PDF |last=World Intellectual Property Organization |title=Understanding Copyright and Related Rights |year=2016 |publisher=WIPO |access-date=1 December 2017 |page=8 |doi=10.34667/tind.36289 |isbn=9789280528046 }}</ref>

Copyright does not cover ideas and information themselves, only the form or manner in which they are expressed.<ref name="Art and copyright">{{Cite book |title=Art and copyright |pages=48–49 |last=Simon|first=Stokes |isbn=978-1-84113-225-9 |year=2001 |publisher=Hart Publishing |url=https://www.google.com/books?id=h-XBqKIryaQC&as_brr=3 |via=Google Books }}</ref> For example, the copyright to a [[Mickey Mouse]] cartoon restricts others from making copies of the cartoon or creating [[derivative work]]s based on [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney's]] particular [[anthropomorphic]] mouse, but does not prohibit the creation of other works about anthropomorphic mice in general, so long as they are different enough to not be judged copies of Disney's.<ref name="Art and copyright" /> Note additionally that Mickey Mouse is not copyrighted because characters cannot be copyrighted; rather, ''[[Steamboat Willie]]'' is copyrighted and Mickey Mouse, as a character in that copyrighted work, is afforded protection.

=== Originality ===
{{Main |Threshold of originality }}
Typically, a work must meet [[Threshold of originality|minimal standards of originality]] in order to qualify for copyright, and the copyright expires after a set period of time (some jurisdictions may allow this to be extended). Different countries impose different tests, although generally the requirements are low; in the [[United Kingdom]] there has to be some "skill, labour, and judgment" that has gone into it.<ref>''Express Newspaper Plc v News (UK) Plc'', F.S.R. 36 (1991)</ref> In [[Australia]] and the United Kingdom it has been held that a single word is insufficient to comprise a copyright work. However, single words or a short string of words can sometimes be registered as a [[trademark]] instead.

Copyright law recognizes the right of an author based on whether the work actually is an [[Original work|original creation]], rather than based on [[Plagiarism checker|whether it is unique]]; two authors may own copyright on two substantially identical works, if it is determined that the duplication was coincidental, and neither was copied from the other.

=== Registration ===
{{Main |Copyright registration }}
In all countries where the [[Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works|Berne Convention]] standards apply, copyright is automatic, and need not be obtained through official registration with any government office. Once an idea has been reduced to tangible form, for example by securing it in a fixed medium (such as a drawing, sheet music, photograph, a videotape, or a computer file), the copyright holder is entitled to enforce his or her exclusive rights.<ref name="Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works Article 5" /> However, while registration is not needed to exercise copyright, in jurisdictions where the laws provide for registration, it serves as ''[[prima facie]]'' evidence of a valid copyright and enables the copyright holder to seek [[statutory damages for copyright infringement|statutory damages]] and attorney's fees.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Subject Matter and Scope of Copyright |url=http://copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.pdf |website=copyright.gov |access-date=4 June 2015 }}</ref> (In the US, registering after an infringement only enables one to receive actual damages and lost profits.)

A widely circulated strategy to avoid the cost of copyright registration is referred to as the [[poor man's copyright]]. It proposes that the creator send the work to himself in a sealed envelope by registered mail, using the [[postmark]] to establish the date. This technique has not been recognized in any published opinions of the United States courts.  The [[United States Copyright Office]] says the technique is not a substitute for actual registration.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Copyright in General (FAQ) |url=http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-general.html#poorman |publisher=U.S Copyright Office |access-date=11 August 2016 }}</ref> The [[United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office]] discusses the technique and notes that the technique (as well as commercial registries) does not constitute dispositive proof that the work is original or establish who created the work.<ref>[http://www.ipo.gov.uk/copy/c-claim/c-register.htm "Copyright Registers"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005014901/http://www.ipo.gov.uk/copy/c-claim/c-register.htm |date=5 October 2013 }}, United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office</ref><ref>[http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/copy/c-about/c-auto.htm "Automatic right"], United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office</ref> 

=== Fixing ===
The [[Berne Convention]] allows member countries to decide whether creative works must be "fixed" to enjoy copyright. Article 2, Section 2 of the Berne Convention states: "It shall be a matter for legislation in the countries of the Union to prescribe that works in general or any specified categories of works shall not be protected unless they have been fixed in some material form." Some countries do not require that a work be produced in a particular form to obtain copyright protection. For instance, Spain, France, and Australia do not require fixation for copyright protection. The United States and Canada, on the other hand, require that most works must be "fixed in a tangible medium of expression" to obtain copyright protection.<ref name="cyber.law.harvard.edu">See Harvard Law School, [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/copyrightforlibrarians/Module_3:_The_Scope_of_Copyright_Law#Fixation ''Module 3: The Scope of Copyright Law'']. See also Tyler T. Ochoa, [http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/chtlj/vol20/iss4/5 ''Copyright, Derivative Works and Fixation: Is Galoob a Mirage, or Does the Form(GEN) of the Alleged Derivative Work Matter?''], 20 {{smallcaps |Santa Clara High Tech. }} L.J. 991, 999–1002 (2003) ("Thus, both the text of the Act and its legislative history demonstrate that Congress intended that a derivative work does not need to be fixed in order to infringe."). The legislative history of the 1976 Copyright Act says this difference was intended to address transitory works such as ballets, pantomimes, improvised performances, dumb shows, mime performances, and dancing.</ref> US law requires that the fixation be stable and permanent enough to be "perceived, reproduced or communicated for a period of more than transitory duration". Similarly, Canadian courts consider fixation to require that the work be "expressed to some extent at least in some material form, capable of identification and having a more or less permanent endurance".<ref name="cyber.law.harvard.edu" />

Note this provision of US law: ''c) Effect of Berne Convention.—No right or interest in a work eligible for protection under this title may be claimed by virtue of, or in reliance upon, the provisions of the Berne Convention, or the adherence of the United States thereto. Any rights in a work eligible for protection under this title that derive from this title, other Federal or State statutes, or the common law, shall not be expanded or reduced by virtue of, or in reliance upon, the provisions of the Berne Convention, or the adherence of the United States thereto.''<ref>See [https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html US copyright law]</ref>

=== Copyright notice ===
{{Main |Copyright notice }}
[[File:Copyright.svg|thumb|A copyright symbol used in copyright notice]]
[[File:Vitprägel.jpg|thumb|A copyright symbol embossed on a piece of paper.]]
Before 1989, United States law required the use of a copyright notice, consisting of the [[copyright symbol]] (©, the letter '''C''' inside a circle), the abbreviation "Copr.", or the word "Copyright", followed by the year of the first publication of the work and the name of the copyright holder.<ref>{{USPL|94|553|Copyright Act of 1976}}, 90 Stat. 2541, § 401(a) (19 October 1976)</ref><ref>{{USPL |100 |568 |The Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988 (BCIA)}}, 102 Stat. 2853, 2857. One of the changes introduced by the BCIA was to section 401, which governs copyright notices on published copies, specifying that notices "may be placed on" such copies; prior to the BCIA, the statute read that notices "shall be placed on all" such copies. An analogous change was made in section 402, dealing with copyright notices on phonorecords.</ref> Several years may be noted if the work has gone through substantial revisions. The proper copyright notice for sound recordings of musical or other audio works is a [[sound recording copyright symbol]] (℗, the letter '''P''' inside a circle), which indicates a sound recording copyright, with the letter '''P''' indicating a "[[phonorecord]]". In addition, the phrase ''[[All rights reserved]]'' was once required to assert copyright, but that phrase is now legally obsolete. Almost everything on the Internet has some sort of copyright attached to it. Whether these things are watermarked, signed, or have any other sort of indication of the copyright is a different story however.<ref>{{Cite book |title=The People's Platform:Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age. |last=Taylor |first=Astra |publisher=Picador |year=2014 |isbn=978-1-250-06259-8 |location=New York City, New York, USA |pages=144–145 }}</ref>

In 1989 the United States enacted the [[Berne Convention Implementation Act]], amending the 1976 Copyright Act to conform to most of the provisions of the Berne Convention. As a result, the use of copyright notices has become optional to claim copyright, because the Berne Convention makes copyright automatic.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ03.pdf |title=U.S. Copyright Office – Information Circular |access-date=7 July 2012 }}</ref> However, the lack of notice of copyright using these marks may have consequences in terms of reduced damages in an infringement lawsuit – using notices of this form may reduce the likelihood of a defense of "innocent infringement" being successful.<ref>[[17 U.S.C.]]{{UnitedStatesCodeSec |17 |401(d) }}</ref>

== Enforcement ==
Copyrights are generally enforced by the holder in a [[Civil law (private law)|civil law]] court, but there are also criminal infringement statutes in some jurisdictions. While [[copyright registry|central registries]] are kept in some countries which aid in proving claims of ownership, registering does not necessarily prove ownership, nor does the fact of copying (even without permission) necessarily [[legal proof|prove]] that copyright was infringed. Criminal sanctions are generally aimed at serious counterfeiting activity, but are now becoming more commonplace as copyright collectives such as the [[RIAA]] are increasingly targeting the [[file sharing]] home Internet user. Thus far, however, most such cases against file sharers have been settled out of court. (''See [[Legal aspects of file sharing]]'')

In most jurisdictions the copyright holder must bear the cost of enforcing copyright. This will usually involve engaging legal representation, administrative or court costs. In light of this, many copyright disputes are settled by a direct approach to the infringing party in order to settle the dispute out of court.

"...by 1978, the scope was expanded to apply to any 'expression' that has been 'fixed' in any medium, this protection granted automatically whether the maker wants it or not, no registration required."<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Taylor |first1=Astra |title=The People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age |date=2014 |publisher=Picador |location=New York, New York |isbn=978-1-250-06259-8 |page=148 }}</ref>

=== Copyright infringement ===
{{Main|Copyright infringement}}
For a work to be considered to infringe upon copyright, its use must have occurred in a nation that has domestic copyright laws or adheres to a bilateral treaty or established international convention such as the [[Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works|Berne Convention]] or [[World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty|WIPO Copyright Treaty]]. Improper use of materials outside of legislation is deemed "unauthorized edition", not copyright infringement.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Owen|first1=L.|doi=10.1087/09531510125100313|title=Piracy|journal=Learned Publishing|volume=14|pages=67–70|year=2001|s2cid=221957508}}</ref>

Statistics regarding the effects of copyright infringement are difficult to determine. Studies have attempted to determine whether there is a monetary loss for industries affected by copyright infringement by predicting what portion of pirated works would have been formally purchased if they had not been freely available.<ref>Butler, S. Piracy Losses "Billboard" 199(36)</ref> Other reports indicate that copyright infringement does not have an adverse effect on the entertainment industry, and can have a positive effect.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ejpd.admin.ch/content/ejpd/de/home/dokumentation/mi/2011/2011-11-30.html|title=Urheberrechtsverletzungen im Internet: Der bestehende rechtliche Rahmen genügt|publisher=Ejpd.admin.ch|access-date=28 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819222007/http://www.ejpd.admin.ch/content/ejpd/de/home/dokumentation/mi/2011/2011-11-30.html|archive-date=19 August 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> In particular, a 2014 university study concluded that free music content, accessed on [[YouTube]], does not necessarily hurt sales, instead has the potential to increase sales.<ref>{{Cite journal|publisher=Social Science Electronic Publishing|ssrn=2425386|title=Video Killed the Radio Star?

== Rights granted ==
According to [[World Intellectual Property Organization|World Intellectual Property Organisation]], copyright protects two types of rights. Economic rights allow right owners to derive financial reward from the use of their works by others. Moral rights allow authors and creators to take certain actions to preserve and protect their link with their work. The author or creator may be the owner of the economic rights or those rights may be transferred to one or more copyright owners. Many countries do not allow the transfer of moral rights.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |url=https://www.wipo.int/edocs/pubdocs/en/wipo_pub_909_2016.pdf |title=World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). |date=20 April 2019 }}</ref>

=== Economic rights ===
With any kind of property, its owner may decide how it is to be used, and others can use it lawfully only if they have the owner's permission, often through a license. The owner's use of the property must, however, respect the legally recognised rights and interests of other members of society. So the owner of a copyright-protected work may decide how to use the work, and may prevent others from using it without permission. National laws usually grant copyright owners exclusive rights to allow third parties to use their works, subject to the legally recognised rights and interests of others.<ref name=":0" /> Most copyright laws state that authors or other right owners have the right to authorise or prevent certain acts in relation to a work. Right owners can authorise or prohibit:

* reproduction of the work in various forms, such as printed publications or sound recordings;
* distribution of copies of the work;
* public performance of the work;
* broadcasting or other communication of the work to the public;
* translation of the work into other languages; and
* adaptation of the work, such as turning a novel into a screenplay.

=== Moral rights ===
{{Main|Moral rights}}
Moral rights are concerned with the non-economic rights of a creator. They protect the creator's connection with a work as well as the integrity of the work. Moral rights are only accorded to individual authors and in many national laws they remain with the authors even after the authors have transferred their economic rights. In some EU countries, such as France, moral rights last indefinitely. In the UK, however, moral rights are finite. That is, the right of attribution and the right of integrity last only as long as the work is in copyright. When the copyright term comes to an end, so too do the moral rights in that work. This is just one reason why the moral rights regime within the UK is often regarded as weaker or inferior to the protection of moral rights in continental Europe and elsewhere in the world.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |url=https://www.copyrightuser.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/CU_CaseFile_11.pdf |title=THE MUTILATED WORK |website=Copyright User }}</ref> The Berne Convention, in Article 6bis, requires its members to grant authors the following rights:

# the right to claim authorship of a work (sometimes called the right of paternity or the right of attribution); and
# the right to object to any distortion or modification of a work, or other derogatory action in relation to a work, which would be prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation (sometimes called the right of integrity).

These and other similar rights granted in national laws are generally known as the moral rights of authors. The Berne Convention requires these rights to be independent of authors’ economic rights. Moral rights are only accorded to individual authors and in many national laws they remain with the authors even after the authors have transferred their economic rights. This means that even where, for example, a film producer or publisher owns the economic rights in a work, in many jurisdictions the individual author continues to have moral rights.<ref name=":0" /> Recently, as a part of the debates being held at the [[US Copyright Office]] on the question of inclusion of Moral Rights as a part of the framework of the [[Copyright law of the United States|Copyright Law in United States]], the Copyright Office concluded that many diverse aspects of the current moral rights patchwork – including copyright law's derivative work right, state moral rights statutes, and contract law – are generally working well and should not be changed. Further, the Office concludes that there is no need for the creation of a blanket moral rights statute at this time. However, there are aspects of the US moral rights patchwork that could be improved to the benefit of individual authors and the copyright system as a whole.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.copyright.gov/policy/moralrights/full-report.pdf |title=authors, attribution, and integrity: examining moral rights in the united states |date=April 2019 |website=U.S. Copyright Office }}</ref>

The [[Copyright law of the United States|Copyright Law in the United States]], several exclusive rights are granted to the holder of a copyright, as are listed below:

* protection of the work;
* to determine and decide how, and under what conditions, the work may be marketed, publicly displayed, reproduced, distributed, etc.
* to produce copies or reproductions of the work and to sell those copies; (including, typically, electronic copies)
* to import or export the work;
* to create [[derivative work]]s; (works that adapt the original work)
* to perform or display the work publicly;
* to sell or cede these rights to others;
* to transmit or display by radio, video or internet.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite book |title=Intellectual Property and Information Wealth: Copyright and related rights |page=346 |last=Peter K|first=Yu |isbn=978-0-275-98883-8 |year=2007 |publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group }}</ref>

The basic right when a work is protected by copyright is that the holder may determine and decide how and under what conditions the protected work may be used by others. This includes the right to decide to distribute the work for free. This part of copyright is often overseen. The phrase "exclusive right" means that only the copyright holder is free to exercise those rights, and others are prohibited from using the work without the holder's permission. Copyright is sometimes called a "negative right", as it serves to prohibit certain people (e.g., readers, viewers, or listeners, and primarily publishers and would be publishers) from doing something they would otherwise be able to do, rather than permitting people (e.g., authors) to do something they would otherwise be unable to do. In this way it is similar to the [[unregistered design right]] in [[English law]] and [[European law]]. The rights of the copyright holder also permit him/her to not use or exploit their copyright, for some or all of the term. There is, however, a critique which rejects this assertion as being based on a [[Philosophy of copyright|philosophical interpretation of copyright law]] that is not universally shared. There is also debate on whether copyright should be considered a [[property right]] or a [[Moral rights (copyright law)|moral right]].<ref>Tom G. Palmer, [http://www.tomgpalmer.com/wp-content/uploads/papers/morallyjustified.pdf "Are Patents and Copyrights Morally Justified?"] Accessed 5 February 2013.</ref>

[[UK copyright law]] gives creators both economic rights and moral rights. While ‘copying’ someone else's work without permission may constitute an infringement of their economic rights, that is, the reproduction right or the right of communication to the public, whereas, ‘mutilating’ it might infringe the creator's moral rights. In the UK, moral rights include the right to be identified as the author of the work, which is generally identified as the right of attribution, and the right not to have your work subjected to ‘derogatory treatment’, that is the right of integrity.<ref name=":1" />

[[Copyright law of India|Indian copyright law]] is at parity with the international standards as contained in [[TRIPS Agreement|TRIPS]]. The Indian Copyright Act, 1957, pursuant to the amendments in 1999, 2002 and 2012, fully reflects the Berne Convention and the Universal Copyrights Convention, to which India is a party. India is also a party to the [[Geneva Phonograms Convention|Geneva Convention for the Protection of Rights of Producers of Phonograms]] and is an active member of the [[World Intellectual Property Organization]] (WIPO) and [[UNESCO|United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization]] (UNESCO). The Indian system provides both the economic and moral rights under different provisions of its Indian Copyright Act of 1957.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mondaq.com/india/x/655852/Copyright/Copyright+Law+In+India+Everything+You+Must+Know|title=Copyright Law In India|last=Dalmia|first=Vijay Pal|date=14 December 2017|website=Mondaq}}</ref>

===Duration===
{{Main|Copyright term |List of countries' copyright length }}
[[File:Tom Bell's graph showing extension of U.S. copyright term over time.svg|thumb|upright=1.35|Expansion of US copyright law (currently based on the date of creation or publication)]]
Copyright subsists for a variety of lengths in different jurisdictions. The length of the term can depend on several factors, including the type of work (e.g. musical composition, novel), whether the work has been [[Publication|published]], and whether the work was created by an individual or a corporation. In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years. In the United States, the term for most existing works is a fixed number of years after the date of creation or publication. Under most countries' laws (for example, the United States<ref>{{UnitedStatesCode |17 |305 }}</ref> and the United Kingdom<ref>The Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performances Regulations 1995, [http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1995/Uksi_19953297_en_3.htm part II], Amendments of the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988</ref>), copyrights expire at the end of the calendar year in which they would otherwise expire.

The length and requirements for copyright duration are subject to change by legislation, and since the early 20th century there have been a number of adjustments made in various countries, which can make determining the duration of a given copyright somewhat difficult. For example, the United States used to require copyrights to be [[Copyright renewal in the United States|renewed]] after 28 years to stay in force, and formerly required a copyright notice upon first publication to gain coverage. In Italy and France, there were post-wartime extensions that could increase the term by approximately 6 years in Italy and up to about 14 in France. Many countries have extended the length of their copyright terms (sometimes retroactively). International treaties establish minimum terms for copyrights, but individual countries may enforce longer terms than those.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Copyright: Sacred Text, Technology, and the DMCA |last=Nimmer |first=David |publisher=Kluwer Law International |year=2003 |isbn=978-90-411-8876-2 |oclc=50606064 |page=63 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RYfRCNxgPO4C |via=Google Books }}</ref>

In the United States, all books and other works, except for sound recordings, published before 1926 have expired copyrights and are in the public domain. The applicable date for sound recordings in the United States is before 1923.<ref>"[http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States].", ''[[Cornell University]]''.</ref> In addition, works published before 1964 that did not have their copyrights renewed 28 years after first publication year also are in the public domain. Hirtle points out that the great majority of these works (including 93% of the books) were not renewed after 28 years and are in the public domain.<ref>See Peter B. Hirtle, "Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States 1 January 2015" [https://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm online at footnote 8] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226112433/http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm |date=26 February 2015 }}</ref> Books originally published outside the US by non-Americans are exempt from this renewal requirement, if they are still under copyright in their home country.

But if the intended exploitation of the work includes publication (or distribution of derivative work, such as a film based on a book protected by copyright) outside the US, the terms of copyright around the world must be considered. If the author has been dead more than 70 years, the work is in the public domain in most, but not all, countries.

In 1998, the length of a copyright in the United States was increased by 20 years under the [[Copyright Term Extension Act]]. This legislation was strongly promoted by corporations which had valuable copyrights which otherwise would have expired, and has been the subject of substantial criticism on this point.<ref>Lawrence Lessig, ''Copyright's First Amendment'', 48 UCLA L. Rev. 1057, 1065 (2001)</ref>

== Limitations and exceptions ==
{{Main|Limitations and exceptions to copyright }}

In many jurisdictions, copyright law makes exceptions to these restrictions when the work is copied for the purpose of commentary or other related uses. United States copyright law does not cover names, titles, short phrases or listings (such as ingredients, recipes, labels, or formulas).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ33.pdf|title=(2012) ''Copyright Protection Not Available for Names, Titles, or Short Phrases'' U.S. Copyright Office}}</ref> However, there are protections available for those areas copyright does not cover, such as [[trademark]]s and [[patent]]s.

=== Idea–expression dichotomy and the merger doctrine ===
{{Main|Idea–expression divide }}

The idea–expression divide differentiates between ideas and expression, and states that copyright protects only the original expression of ideas, and not the ideas themselves. This principle, first clarified in the 1879 case of ''[[Baker v. Selden]]'', has since been codified by the [[Copyright Act of 1976]] at 17 U.S.C. § 102(b).

=== The first-sale doctrine and exhaustion of rights ===

{{Main|First-sale doctrine |Exhaustion of rights }}
Copyright law does not restrict the owner of a copy from reselling legitimately obtained copies of copyrighted works, provided that those copies were originally produced by or with the permission of the copyright holder. It is therefore legal, for example, to resell a copyrighted book or [[compact disc|CD]]. In the United States this is known as the [[first-sale doctrine]], and was established by the [[court]]s to clarify the legality of reselling books in second-hand [[bookstore]]s.

Some countries may have [[parallel importation]] restrictions that allow the copyright holder to control the [[aftermarket (merchandise)|aftermarket]]. This may mean for example that a copy of a book that does not infringe copyright in the country where it was printed does infringe copyright in a country into which it is imported for retailing. The first-sale doctrine is known as [[exhaustion of rights]] in other countries and is a principle which also applies, though somewhat differently, to [[patent]] and [[trademark]] rights. It is important to note that the first-sale doctrine permits the transfer of the particular legitimate copy involved. It does not permit making or distributing additional copies.

In ''[[Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.]]'',<ref>{{cite web |title=John Wiley & Sons Inc. v. Kirtsaeng |url=https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/11-697_d1o2.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170702033641/https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/11-697_d1o2.pdf |archive-date=2 July 2017 }}</ref> in 2013, the [[United States Supreme Court]] held in a 6–3 decision that the first-sale doctrine applies to goods manufactured abroad with the copyright owner's permission and then imported into the US without such permission. The case involved a plaintiff who imported Asian editions of textbooks that had been manufactured abroad with the publisher-plaintiff's permission. The defendant, without permission from the publisher, imported the textbooks and resold on [[eBay]]. The Supreme Court's holding severely limits the ability of copyright holders to prevent such importation.

In addition, copyright, in most cases, does not prohibit one from acts such as modifying, defacing, or destroying his or her own legitimately obtained copy of a copyrighted work, so long as duplication is not involved. However, in countries that implement [[Moral rights (copyright law)|moral rights]], a copyright holder can in some cases successfully prevent the mutilation or destruction of a work that is publicly visible.

=== Fair use and fair dealing ===
{{Main|Fair use |Fair dealing }}
Copyright does not prohibit all copying or replication. In the United States, the [[fair use]] doctrine, codified by the [[United States Copyright Act of 1976|Copyright Act of 1976]] as 17 U.S.C. Section 107, permits some copying and distribution without permission of the copyright holder or payment to same. The statute does not clearly define fair use, but instead gives four non-exclusive factors to consider in a fair use analysis. Those factors are:
# the purpose and character of one's use;
# the nature of the copyrighted work;
# what amount and proportion of the whole work was taken;
# the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.html |title=US CODE: Title 17,107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use |publisher=.law.cornell.edu |date=20 May 2009 |access-date=16 June 2009 }}</ref>

In the [[United Kingdom]] and many other [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] countries, a similar notion of fair dealing was established by the [[court]]s or through [[legislation]]. The concept is sometimes not well defined; however in [[Canada]], private copying for personal use has been expressly permitted by statute since 1999. In ''[[Alberta (Education) v. Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency (Access Copyright)]]'', 2012 SCC 37, the [[Supreme Court of Canada]] concluded that limited copying for educational purposes could also be justified under the fair dealing exemption. In Australia, the fair dealing exceptions under the [[Copyright Act 1968]] (Cth) are a limited set of circumstances under which copyrighted material can be legally copied or adapted without the copyright holder's consent. Fair dealing uses are research and study; review and critique; news reportage and the giving of professional advice (i.e. [[legal advice]]). Under current [[Law of Australia|Australian law]], although it is still a breach of copyright to copy, reproduce or adapt copyright material for personal or private use without permission from the copyright owner, owners of a legitimate copy are permitted to "format shift" that work from one medium to another for personal, private use, or to "time shift" a broadcast work for later, once and only once, viewing or listening. Other technical exemptions from infringement may also apply, such as the temporary reproduction of a work in machine readable form for a computer.

In the United States the AHRA ([[Audio Home Recording Act]] Codified in Section 10, 1992) prohibits action against consumers making noncommercial recordings of music, in return for [[royalties]] on both media and devices plus mandatory copy-control mechanisms on recorders.

{{quote|''Section 1008. Prohibition on certain infringement actions''

''No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.''}}

Later acts amended US Copyright law so that for certain purposes making 10 copies or more is construed to be commercial, but there is no general rule permitting such copying. Indeed, making one complete copy of a work, or in many cases using a portion of it, for commercial purposes will not be considered fair use. The [[Digital Millennium Copyright Act]] prohibits the manufacture, importation, or distribution of devices whose intended use, or only significant commercial use, is to bypass an access or copy control put in place by a copyright owner.<ref name="Intellectual Property and Information Wealth: Copyright and related rights" /> An appellate court has held that fair use is not a defense to engaging in such distribution.

[[Copyright law of the European Union|EU copyright laws]] recognise the right of EU member states to implement some national exceptions to copyright. Examples of those exceptions are:
* photographic reproductions on paper or any similar medium of works (excluding sheet music) provided that the rightholders receives fair compensation;
* reproduction made by libraries, educational establishments, museums or archives, which are non-commercial;
* archival reproductions of broadcasts;
* uses for the benefit of people with a disability;
* for demonstration or repair of equipment;
* for non-commercial research or private study;
* when used in [[parody]].

=== Accessible copies ===
It is legal in several countries including the United Kingdom and the United States to produce alternative versions (for example, in large print or braille) of a copyrighted work to provide improved access to a work for blind and visually impaired people without permission from the copyright holder.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#121 |title=Chapter 1 – Circular 92 – U.S. Copyright Office |website=www.copyright.gov }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/publicwebsite/public_cvipsact2002.hcsp |title=Copyright (Visually Impaired Persons) Act 2002 comes into force |publisher=Royal National Institute of Blind People |date=1 January 2011 |access-date=11 August 2016 }}</ref>

=== Religious Service Exemption ===
In the US there is a Religious Service Exemption (1976 law, section 110[3]), namely "performance of a non-dramatic literary or musical work or of a dramatico-musical work of a religious nature or display of a work, in the course of services at a place of worship or other religious assembly" shall not constitute infringement of copyright.<ref>[https://www.copyright.gov/reports/guide-to-copyright.pdf General Guide to the Copyright Act of 1976, US Copyright Office, Ch.8, p.11, September 1977]</ref>

{{See also|Collective rights management |Extended collective licensing |Compulsory license |Copyright transfer agreement }}
[[File:All rights reserved.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.35|DVD: ''[[All rights reserved]]'']]
A copyright, or aspects of it (e.g. reproduction alone, all but moral rights), may be assigned or transferred from one party to another.<ref name="WIPO Guide on the Licensing of Copyright and Related Rights">{{Cite book |title=WIPO Guide on the Licensing of Copyright and Related Rights |url=https://www.google.com/books?id=LvRRvXBIi8MC&as_brr=3 |isbn=978-92-805-1271-7 |year=2004 |publisher=World Intellectual Property Organization |page=15 }}</ref> For example, a musician who records an album will often sign an agreement with a record company in which the musician agrees to transfer all copyright in the recordings in exchange for royalties and other considerations. The creator (and original copyright holder) benefits, or expects to, from production and marketing capabilities far beyond those of the author. In the digital age of music, music may be copied and distributed at minimal cost through the [[Internet]]; however, the [[record industry]] attempts to provide promotion and marketing for the artist and their work so it can reach a much larger audience. A copyright holder need not transfer all rights completely, though many publishers will insist. Some of the rights may be transferred, or else the copyright holder may grant another party a non-exclusive license to copy or distribute the work in a particular region or for a specified period of time.

A transfer or licence may have to meet particular formal requirements in order to be effective,<ref name="WIPO Guide on the Licensing of Copyright and Related Rights(2)">{{Cite book |title=WIPO Guide on the Licensing of Copyright and Related Rights |url=https://www.google.com/books?id=LvRRvXBIi8MC&as_brr=3 |page=8 |isbn=978-92-805-1271-7 |year=2004 |publisher=World Intellectual Property Organization }}</ref> for example under the Australian [[Copyright law of Australia#Copyright Act 1968|Copyright Act 1968]] the copyright itself must be expressly transferred in writing. Under the US Copyright Act, a transfer of ownership in copyright must be memorialized in a writing signed by the transferor. For that purpose, ownership in copyright includes exclusive licenses of rights. Thus exclusive licenses, to be effective, must be granted in a written instrument signed by the grantor. No special form of transfer or grant is required. A simple document that identifies the work involved and the rights being granted is sufficient. Non-exclusive grants (often called non-exclusive licenses) need not be in writing under [[Law of the United States|US law]]. They can be oral or even implied by the behavior of the parties. Transfers of copyright ownership, including exclusive licenses, may and should be recorded in the U.S. Copyright Office. (Information on recording transfers is available on the Office's web site.) While recording is not required to make the grant effective, it offers important benefits, much like those obtained by recording a deed in a [[real estate]] transaction.

Copyright may also be [[license]]d.<ref name="WIPO Guide on the Licensing of Copyright and Related Rights" /> Some jurisdictions may provide that certain classes of copyrighted works be made available under a prescribed [[statutory license]] (e.g. musical works in the United States used for radio broadcast or performance). This is also called a [[compulsory license]], because under this scheme, anyone who wishes to copy a covered work does not need the permission of the copyright holder, but instead merely files the proper notice and pays a set fee established by statute (or by an agency decision under statutory guidance) for every copy made.<ref name="WIPO Guide on the Licensing of Copyright and Related Rights(3)">{{Cite book |title=WIPO Guide on the Licensing of Copyright and Related Rights |url=https://www.google.com/books?id=LvRRvXBIi8MC&as_brr=3 |page=16 |isbn=978-92-805-1271-7 |year=2004 |publisher=World Intellectual Property Organization }}</ref> Failure to follow the proper procedures would place the copier at risk of an infringement suit. Because of the difficulty of following every individual work, [[copyright collective]]s or [[collecting societies]] and [[performance rights organisation|performing rights organizations]] (such as [[ASCAP]], [[Broadcast Music Incorporated|BMI]], and [[SESAC]]) have been formed to collect royalties for hundreds (thousands and more) works at once. Though this market solution bypasses the statutory license, the availability of the statutory fee still helps dictate the price per work collective rights organizations charge, driving it down to what avoidance of procedural hassle would justify.

=== Free licenses ===
{{Main|Free license}}
Copyright licenses known as ''open'' or free licenses seek to grant several rights to licensees, either for a fee or not. ''Free'' in this context is not as much of a reference to price as it is to freedom. What constitutes free licensing has been characterised in a number of similar definitions, including by order of longevity the [[Free Software Definition]], the [[Debian Free Software Guidelines]], the [[Open Source Definition]] and the [[Definition of Free Cultural Works]]. Further refinements to these definitions have resulted in categories such as [[copyleft]] and [[permissive license|permissive]]. Common examples of free licences are the [[GNU General Public License]], [[BSD license]]s and some [[Creative Commons licenses]].

Founded in 2001 by [[James Boyle (academic)|James Boyle]], [[Lawrence Lessig]], and [[Hal Abelson]], the [[Creative Commons]] (CC) is a non-profit organization<ref name="CC">{{Cite web |url=https://creativecommons.org/ |title=Creative Commons Website |website=creativecommons.org |access-date=24 October 2011 }}</ref> which aims to facilitate the legal sharing of creative works. To this end, the organization provides a number of generic copyright license options to the public, [[gratis versus libre|gratis]]. These licenses allow copyright holders to define conditions under which others may use a work and to specify what types of use are acceptable.<ref name="CC" />

Terms of use have traditionally been negotiated on an individual basis between copyright holder and potential licensee. Therefore, a general CC license outlining which rights the copyright holder is willing to waive enables the general public to use such works more freely. Six general types of CC licenses are available (although some of them are not properly free per the above definitions and per Creative Commons' own advice). These are based upon copyright-holder stipulations such as whether he or she is willing to allow modifications to the work, whether he or she permits the creation of derivative works and whether he or she is willing to permit commercial use of the work.<ref name="Rubin">Rubin, R. E. (2010) 'Foundations of Library and Information Science: Third Edition', Neal-Schuman Publishers, Inc., New York, p. 341</ref> {{As of |2009 }} approximately 130 million individuals had received such licenses.<ref name="Rubin" />

== Criticism ==
{{Main |Criticism of copyright }}
Some sources are critical of particular aspects of the copyright system. This is known as a debate over [[copynorms]]. Particularly to the background of uploading content to internet platforms and the digital exchange of original work, there is discussion about the [[copyright aspects of downloading and streaming]], the [[copyright aspects of hyperlinking and framing]].

Concerns are often couched in the language of [[digital rights]], digital freedom, [[database right]]s, [[open data]] or [[censorship]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://edri.org/press-release-meps-ignore-expert-advice-and-vote-for-mass-internet-censorship/ |title=MEPs ignore expert advice and vote for mass internet censorship |publisher=European Digital Rights |access-date=24 June 2018 |date=20 June 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Copyright Week 2019: Copyright as a tool of censorship|url=https://edri.org/our-work/copyright-week-2019-copyright-as-tool-of-censorship/|access-date=27 February 2021|website=European Digital Rights (EDRi)|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=23 May 2016|title=Revealed: How copyright law is being misused to remove material from the internet|url=http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/23/copyright-law-internet-mumsnet|access-date=27 February 2021|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref> Discussions include ''[[Free Culture (book)|Free Culture]]'', a 2004 book by [[Lawrence Lessig]]. Lessig coined the term [[permission culture]] to describe a worst-case system. ''[[Good Copy Bad Copy]]'' (documentary) and [[RiP!: A Remix Manifesto]], discuss copyright. Some suggest an [[alternative compensation system]]. In Europe consumers are acting up against the raising costs of music, film and books, and as a result [[Pirate Party|Pirate Parties]] have been created. Some groups reject copyright altogether, taking an [[anti-copyright]] stance. The perceived inability to enforce copyright online leads some to advocate [[Crypto-anarchism|ignoring legal statutes when on the web]].

== Public domain ==
{{Main |Public domain }}
Copyright, like other [[intellectual property rights]], is subject to a statutorily determined term. Once the term of a copyright has expired, the formerly copyrighted work enters the public domain and may be used or exploited by anyone without obtaining permission, and normally without payment. However, in [[paying public domain]] regimes the user may still have to pay royalties to the state or to an authors' association. Courts in common law countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, have rejected the doctrine of a [[common law copyright]]. Public domain works should not be confused with works that are publicly available. Works posted in the [[internet]], for example, are publicly available, but are not generally in the public domain. Copying such works may therefore violate the author's copyright.

The '''Local Group''' is the [[galaxy group]] that includes the [[Milky Way]].
It has a total diameter of roughly {{convert|3|Mpc|e6ly m|lk=on|abbr=off|sigfig=1}},{{citation needed|date=December 2021}} and a total mass of the order of {{convert|2e12|solar mass|kg|lk=in|sigfig=1}}.<ref>The mass of the Local Group is essentially accounted for by the mass of the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.
Estimates for the mass of each galaxy are compatible with {{val|e=12|u={{solar mass}}}},
and Peñarrubia et al. (2014) estimate {{val|2.3|0.7|e=12|u={{solar mass}}}} for the Local Group,
but Karachentsev and Kashibadze (2006) estimate the somewhat lower value of {{val|1.29|0.14|e=12|u={{solar mass}}}}.</ref>
It consists of two collections of galaxies in a "[[dumbbell]]" shape: the Milky Way and its satellites form one lobe, and the [[Andromeda Galaxy]] and its satellites constitute the other. The two collections are separated by about {{convert|800|kpc|e6ly m|abbr=on|sigfig=1}} and are moving toward one another with a velocity of {{val|123|u=km/s}}.<ref name="Karachentsevetal2006">{{Cite journal |last1=Karachentsev |first1=I.

The '''Tucana Dwarf Galaxy''' is a [[dwarf galaxy]] in the [[constellation]] [[Tucana]]. It was discovered in 1990 by R.J. Lavery of [[Mount Stromlo Observatory]]. It is composed of very old stars and is very isolated from other galaxies. Its location on the opposite side of the Milky Way from other [[Local Group]] galaxies makes it an important object for study.

The '''Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal''' (formerly known as the '''Fornax System''') is an elliptical [[dwarf galaxy]] in the [[constellation]] [[Fornax]] that was discovered in 1938 by [[Harlow Shapley]]. He discovered it while he was in [[South Africa]] on photographic plates taken by the 24 inch (61 cm) Bruce refractor at [[Boyden Observatory]], shortly after he discovered the [[Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy]].<ref>{{cite journal | author = Shapley H | date = 1938 | title = Two Stellar Systems of a New Kind | journal = Nature | volume = 142 | issue = 3598| pages = 715–6 | bibcode = 1938Natur.142..715S | doi=10.1038/142715b0}}</ref>

The [[galaxy]] is a satellite of the [[Milky Way]] and contains six [[globular cluster]]s; the largest, [[NGC 1049]], was discovered before the galaxy itself. The galaxy is also receding from the [[Milky Way]] at 53 km/s. It mostly contains [[population II]] stars.

==History==
===Staff, name and founding===
[[File:Julian Assange August 2014.jpg|thumb|upright=.75|[[Julian Assange]] was one of the early members of the WikiLeaks staff and is credited as the website's founder.]]

The inspiration for WikiLeaks was [[Daniel Ellsberg]]'s release of the [[Pentagon Papers]] in 1971. Assange built WikiLeaks to shorten the time between a leak and its coverage by the media. WikiLeaks was initially established in Australia but its servers were soon moved to Sweden and other countries that provided legal protection for the media.<ref name="yahoo041021" />

===Purpose===
According to the WikiLeaks website, its goal is "to bring important news and information to the public ... One of our most important activities is to publish original source material alongside our news stories so readers and historians alike can see evidence of the truth." Another of the organisation's goals is to ensure that journalists and [[whistleblower]]s are not prosecuted for emailing sensitive or classified documents. The online "drop box" is described by the WikiLeaks website as "an innovative, secure and anonymous way for sources to leak information to [WikiLeaks] journalists".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://epic.org/foia/epic_v_doj_fbi_wikileaks.html |publisher=[[Electronic Privacy Information Center]] |title=EPIC v.

WikiLeaks used [[EveryDNS]], but was dropped by the company after distributed denial-of-service ([[DDoS]]) attacks against WikiLeaks hurt the quality of service for its other customers.

In April 2017, CIA director [[Mike Pompeo]] called WikiLeaks "a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia". The official designation of Wikileaks and [[Julian Assange]] as a non-state hostile intelligence service was discussed in mid-2017 during preparation of the [[Intelligence Authorization Act|Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018]]. It was eventually incorporated into the [[National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020]] that became law in December 2019. The Act says "It is the sense of Congress that WikiLeaks and the senior leadership of WikiLeaks resemble a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors and should be treated as such a service by the United States.” Various sources have stated that the effect of the designation was to allow the [[CIA]] to launch and plan operations that didn’t require presidential approval or congressional notice.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Grim |first1=Ryan |last2=Sirota |first2=Sara |title=Julian Assange Kidnapping Plot Casts New Light on 2018 Senate Intelligence Maneuver |url=https://theintercept.com/2021/09/28/assange-kidnapping-wikileaks-cia-senate/ |website=The Intercept |access-date=25 December 2021 |date=28 September 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Gibbons |first1=Chip |title=The US Considered Kidnapping and Even Assassinating Julian Assange |url=https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/09/united-states-kidnap-assassinate-julian-assange-wikileaks-cia-yahoo-news |website=jacobinmag.com |access-date=25 December 2021 |date=30 September 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Plot to Kill Julian Assange: Report Reveals CIA's Plan to Kidnap, Assassinate WikiLeaks Founder |url=https://www.democracynow.org/2021/9/28/cia_julian_assange_assassination_plot |website=Democracy Now! |access-date=25 December 2021 |language=en |date=28 September 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Dorfman |first1=Zach |last2=Naylo |first2=Sean D. |last3=Isikoff |first3=Michael |title=Kidnapping, assassination and a London shoot-out: Inside the CIA's secret war plans against WikiLeaks |url=https://news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-assassination-and-a-london-shoot-out-inside-the-ci-as-secret-war-plans-against-wiki-leaks-090057786.html |website=news.yahoo.com |access-date=25 December 2021 |date=26 September 2021}}</ref>

On 8 February 2018, the [[Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|UK Supreme Court]] unanimously allowed a document that had been leaked through WikiLeaks to be admitted as evidence.

==Financing==
WikiLeaks is a self-described [[not-for-profit organisation]], funded largely by volunteers, and is dependent on public donations. Its main financing methods include conventional [[Wire transfer|bank transfers]] and [[E-commerce payment system|online payment systems]]. According to Assange, WikiLeaks' lawyers often work [[pro bono]]. Assange has said that in some cases legal aid has been donated by media organisations such as the [[Associated Press]], the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', and the [[National Newspaper Publishers Association]].<ref name="leakonomy" /> Assange said in 2010 that WikiLeaks' only revenue consists of donations, but it has considered other options including auctioning early access to documents.<ref name="leakonomy" /> During September 2011, WikiLeaks began auctioning items on [[eBay]] to raise funds.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Hayes|first=Isabel|date=2011-09-30|title=Wikileaks is a leaking boat: Assange|url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/wikileaks-is-a-leaking-boat-assange-20111001-1l1yd.html|access-date=2021-05-13|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|language=en}}</ref>

During 2010, WikiLeaks received €635,772.73 in PayPal donations, less €30,000 in PayPal fees, and €695,925.46 in bank transfers. €500,988.89 of the sum was received in the month of December, primarily as bank transfers. €298,057.38 of the remainder was received in April.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cryptome.org/0003/wl-finance-en.pdf |title="Project 04: Enduring freedom of information" Preliminary transparency report 2010 |publisher=Wau-Holland-Stiftung (WHS) via [[Cryptome]] |date=26 April 2011}}</ref>

==Lawsuit by the Democratic National Committee==
{{Main|Democratic National Committee v. Russian Federation}}
On 20 April 2018, the Democratic National Committee filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit in [[United States District Court for the Southern District of New York|federal district court in Manhattan]] against Russia, the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, alleging a conspiracy to disrupt the [[2016 United States presidential election]] in Trump's favour.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Hamburger|first1=Tom|last2=Helderman|first2=Rosalind S.|last3=Nakashima|first3=Ellen|date=20 April 2018|title=Democratic Party sues Russia, Trump campaign and WikiLeaks alleging 2016 campaign conspiracy|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/democratic-party-files-lawsuit-alleging-russia-the-trump-campaign-and-wikileaks-conspired-to-disrupt-the-2016-campaign/2018/04/20/befe8364-4418-11e8-8569-26fda6b404c7_story.html|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=20 April 2018 }}</ref> The suit was dismissed [[with prejudice]] on 30 July 2019. In his judgement, Judge [[John Koeltl]] said that WikiLeaks "did not participate in any wrongdoing in obtaining the materials in the first place" and was therefore within the law in publishing the information. He also said that the DNC case was "entirely divorced" from the facts.

WikiLeaks has been accused of targeting the United States and presenting its disclosures in misleading and conspiratorial ways.<ref name=":10" /> Writing in 2012, ''Foreign Policy''<nowiki/>'s [[Joshua Keating]] stated that "nearly all its major operations have targeted the U.S. government or American corporations."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://foreignpolicy.com/2012/08/16/how-wikileaks-blew-it/ |title=How WikiLeaks Blew It |website=Foreign Policy|access-date=8 November 2016}}</ref>

WikiLeaks urged the Trump campaign to reject the results of the 2016 presidential election at a time when it looked as if the Trump campaign would lose.<ref name=":45" /> WikiLeaks asked Trump Jr. to share a claim by Assange that Hillary Clinton had wanted to attack him with drones.<ref name=":45" /> WikiLeaks also shared a link to a site that would help people to search through WikiLeaks documents.<ref name=":45" /> Trump Jr. shared both. After the election, WikiLeaks also requested that the president-elect push Australia to appoint Assange as ambassador to the US. After ''The New York Times'' published a fragment of Donald Trump's tax returns for one year, WikiLeaks asked Trump Jr. for one or more of his father's tax returns, explaining that it would be in his father's best interest because it would "dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality" and not come "through the most biased source (e.g. NYT/MSNBC)."<ref name=":45" /> WikiLeaks also asked Trump Jr. to leak his own e-mails to them days after ''The New York Times'' broke a story about e-mail correspondence between Trump Jr. and a Kremlin-affiliated lawyer; WikiLeaks said that it would be "beautifully confounding" for them to publish the e-mails and that it would deprive other news outlets from putting a negative spin on the correspondence.<ref name=":45" /> Trump Jr. provided this correspondence to congressional investigators looking into Russian interference in the 2016 election.<ref name=":45" />

In August 2016, after WikiLeaks published thousands of DNC emails, DNC officials and a number of cybersecurity experts and cybersecurity firms claimed that Russian intelligence had hacked the e-mails and leaked them to WikiLeaks.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-07-25/cybersecurity-experts-say-russia-hacked-the-democrats |title=Cyber-Experts Say Russia Hacked the Democratic National Committee |last=Lake |first=Eli |date=25 July 2016 |work=Bloomberg View|access-date=23 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.wired.com/2016/07/heres-know-russia-dnc-hack/ |title=Here's What We Know About Russia and the DNC Hack |last=Glaser |first=April |magazine=Wired|access-date=23 October 2016 |language=en-US}}</ref> Assange said that Russia was not the source of the documents and that the Clinton campaign was stoking "a [[McCarthyism|neo-McCarthy hysteria]]".<ref>{{cite news |title=Assange blasts media for 'politicization' of election campaign in Fox interviews |url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/assange-blasts-media-for-politicization-of-election-campaign-in-fox-interviews |work=Fox News |date=26 August 2016}}</ref> In October 2016, the US intelligence community said that it was "confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from U.S. persons and institutions, including from U.S. political organizations".<ref name=":4" /> The US intelligence agencies said that the hacks were consistent with the methods of Russian-directed efforts, and that people high up within the Kremlin were likely involved.<ref name=":4" /> On 14 October 2016, [[CNN]] stated that "there is mounting evidence that the Russian government is supplying WikiLeaks with hacked emails pertaining to the [[2016 United States presidential election|U.S. presidential election]]."<ref name="ufge">Jim Sciutto, Nicole Gaouette and Ryan Browne (14 October 2016).

In September 2016, the German weekly magazine ''[[Focus (German magazine)|Focus]]'' wrote that according to a confidential German government dossier, WikiLeaks had long since been infiltrated by Russian agents aiming to discredit [[NATO]] governments.

In April 2017, CIA Director Mike Pompeo stated: "It is time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is – a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia." Pompeo said that the US Intelligence Community had concluded that Russia's "primary propaganda outlet," [[RT (TV network)|RT]] had "actively collaborated" with WikiLeaks.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cia-director-calls-wikileaks-a-non-state-hostile-intelligence-service/ |title=CIA director calls WikiLeaks Russia-aided "non-state hostile intelligence service" |author=Kathryn Watson |date=13 April 2017 |publisher=CBS News}}</ref>

In May 2017, cybersecurity experts stated that they believed that groups affiliated with the Russian government were involved in the hacking and leaking of e-mails associated with the Emmanuel Macron campaign; these e-mails were published on [[Pastebin]] but heavily promoted by WikiLeaks social media channels.<ref name=":36" /><ref name=":37" /><ref name=":38" /> The head of the French cyber-security agency, [[Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information|ANSSI]], said that they had no evidence connecting the hack with Russia, and that the attack was so simple "we can imagine that it was a person who did this alone. They could be in any country".<ref name="Uchill"/>

In August 2017, ''Foreign Policy'' wrote that WikiLeaks had in the summer of 2016 turned down a large cache of documents containing information damaging to the Russian government.<ref name=":39" /><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/347007-wikileaks-rejected-documents-on-russia-during-2016-election |title=WikiLeaks rejected documents on Russia during 2016 election: report |last=Uchill |first=Joe |date=17 August 2017 |work=The Hill|access-date=17 August 2017}}</ref> WikiLeaks stated that, "As far as we recall these are already public ...

In the wake of the [[Charlie Hebdo shooting|''Charlie Hebdo'' shooting]] in January 2015, the WikiLeaks Twitter account wrote that "the Jewish pro-censorship lobby legitimized attacks", referring to the trial of [[Maurice Sinet]].<ref name=":2" /> In July 2016, the same account suggested that [[triple parentheses]], or (((echoes))) – a tool used by neo-Nazis to identify Jews on Twitter, appropriated by several Jews online out of solidarity – had been used as a way for "establishment climbers" to identify one another.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3" /> In leaked internal conversations, the WikiLeaks Twitter account, thought{{by whom|date=February 2021}} to be controlled by Assange at the time, commented on [[Associated Press]] reporter Raphael Satter who had written an article critical of WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks tweeted that "[Satter]'s always ben(sic) a rat. But he’s jewish and engaged with the ((()))) issue".<ref name=":46" />

===Exaggerated and misleading descriptions of the contents of leaks===
WikiLeaks has been criticised for making misleading claims about the contents of its leaks.<ref name=":7">{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/09/opinion/the-truth-about-the-wikileaks-cia-cache.html |title=The Truth About the WikiLeaks C.I.A.

The second step is to sensationalise the material with misleading news releases and tweets. The third step is to sit back and watch as the news media unwittingly promotes the WikiLeaks agenda under the auspices of independent reporting."<ref name=":7" />

After the [[2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt]], WikiLeaks announced that it would release e-mails belonging to Turkey's ruling conservative [[Justice and Development Party (Turkey)|Justice and Development Party]]. WikiLeaks released Turkish emails and documents as a response to the [[2016–present purges in Turkey|Turkish government's crackdown]] on real or alleged government opponents that followed the coup attempt.<ref name="ThReut_WikiLeaks"/> When these e-mails were released, however, it "was nothing but mundane mailing lists of tens of thousands of ordinary people who discussed politics online. Back then, too, the ruse worked: Many Western journalists had hyped these non-leaks."<ref name=":7" />

=== Inadequate curation and violations of personal privacy ===
WikiLeaks has drawn criticism for violating the personal privacy of individuals and inadequately curating its content. These critics include transparency advocates, such as [[Edward Snowden]], the [[Sunlight Foundation]] and the [[Federation of American Scientists]].<ref name=":31" />

WikiLeaks has published individuals' [[Social Security number]]s, medical information, and credit card numbers.<ref name=":12" /> An analysis by the Associated Press found that WikiLeaks had in one of its mass-disclosures published "the personal information of hundreds of people – including sick children, rape victims and mental health patients".<ref name=":12" /> WikiLeaks has named teenage rape victims, and outed an individual arrested for homosexuality in Saudi Arabia.<ref name=":12" /> Some of WikiLeaks' cables "described patients with psychiatric conditions, seriously ill children or refugees".<ref name=":12" /> An analysis of WikiLeaks' Saudi cables "turned up more than 500 passport, identity, academic or employment files ... three dozen records pertaining to family issues in the cables – including messages about marriages, divorces, missing children, elopements and custody battles. Many are very personal, like the marital certificates that proclaims whether the bride was a virgin. Others deal with Saudis who are deeply in debt, including one man who says his wife stole his money. One divorce document details a male partner's infertility. Others identify the partners of women suffering from sexually transmitted diseases including HIV and Hepatitis C."<ref name=":12" /> Two individuals named in the DNC leaks were targeted by identity thieves following WikiLeaks' release of their Social Security and credit card information.<ref name=":12" /> In its leak of DNC e-mails, WikiLeaks revealed the details of an ordinary staffer's suicide attempt and brought attention to it through a tweet.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://fortune.com/2016/10/13/hacked-private-emails/ |title=Publishing Hacked Private Emails Can Be a Slippery Slope |website=Fortune|access-date=6 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/zeyneptufekci/dear-france-you-just-got-hacked-dont-make-the-same-mistakes |title=Dear France: You Just Got Hacked.

Cohen]], a fellow at the [[The Century Foundation|Century Foundation]], argues that "data dumps like these represent a threat to our already shrinking zone of privacy."<ref name=":13" /> He noted that the willingness of WikiLeaks to publish information of this type encourages hacking and cyber theft: "With ready and willing amplifiers, what's to deter the next cyberthief from stealing a company's database of information and threatening to send it to Wikileaks if a list of demands aren't met?"<ref name=":13" />

The [[Sunlight Foundation]], a nonprofit that advocates for open government, has criticised WikiLeaks for inadequate curation of its content and for "weaponised transparency," writing that with the DNC leaks, "Wikileaks again failed the due diligence review we expect of putatively journalistic entities when it published the personal information of ordinary citizens, including passport and Social Security numbers contained in the hacked emails of Democratic National Committee staff. We are not alone in raising ethical questions about Wikileaks' shift from whistleblower to platform for weaponised transparency.

In July 2016, [[Edward Snowden]] criticised WikiLeaks for insufficiently curating its content.<ref name=":8" /> When Snowden made data public, he did so by working with the ''Washington Post'', the ''Guardian'' and other news organisations, choosing only to make documents public which exposed National Security Agency surveillance programs.<ref name=":8" /> Content that compromised national security or exposed sensitive personal information was withheld.<ref name=":8" /> WikiLeaks, on the other hand, made little effort to do either, Snowden said. WikiLeaks responded by accusing Snowden of pandering to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.<ref name=":8" />

University of North Carolina Professor [[Zeynep Tufekci]] has also criticised WikiLeaks for exposing sensitive personal information.<ref name=":9" /> She argued that data dumps, such as WikiLeaks, which violate personal privacy without being in the public interest "threaten our ability to dissent by destroying privacy and unleashing a glut of questionable information that functions, somewhat unexpectedly, as its own form of censorship, rather than as a way to illuminate the maneuverings of the powerful."<ref name=":9" />

===Internal conflicts and lack of transparency===
Within WikiLeaks, there has been public disagreement between founder and spokesperson Julian Assange and [[Daniel Domscheit-Berg]], the website's former German representative who was suspended by Assange. Domscheit-Berg announced on 28 September 2010 that he was leaving the organisation due to internal conflicts over management of the website.<ref name="bates">{{cite news |url=http://www.aolnews.com/2010/09/28/wikileaks-woes-grow-as-spokesman-quits-site/ |title=WikiLeaks' Woes Grow as Spokesman Quits Site |author=Bates, Theunis |date=28 September 2010 |work=AOL News|access-date=22 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209122932/http://www.aolnews.com/2010/09/28/wikileaks-woes-grow-as-spokesman-quits-site/ |archive-date=9 February 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.physorg.com/news205093515.html |title=WikiLeaks chief lashes out at media during debate |last=Satter |first=Raphael G. |date=30 September 2010 |publisher=PhysOrg.com|access-date=22 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101020041136/http://www.physorg.com/news205093515.html |archive-date=20 October 2010 |url-status=live |agency=Associated Press}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2010/09/28/businessinsider-wikileaks-spokesman-quits.DTL |title=WikiLeaks Spokesman Quits, Blasts Founder Julian Assange As Paranoid Control Freak, Admits To Using Fake Name |last=Blodget |first=Henry |date=28 September 2010 |work=San Francisco Chronicle|access-date=12 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306180126/http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=%2Fg%2Fa%2F2010%2F09%2F28%2Fbusinessinsider-wikileaks-spokesman-quits.DTL |archive-date=6 March 2012 |url-status=live |author-link=Henry Blodget }}</ref>

'''''Dwarf Fortress''''' (officially called '''''Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress''''') is a [[construction and management simulation]] and [[roguelike]] [[indie video game]] created by Bay 12 Games. [[Freeware]] and in development since 2002, its first [[alpha version]] was released in 2006 and it received attention for being a two-member project surviving [[donationware|solely on donations]]. The primary game mode is set in a [[procedurally generated]] fantasy world in which the player indirectly controls a group of [[Dwarf (mythology)|dwarves]], and attempts to construct a successful and wealthy fortress. Critics praised its complex and [[emergent gameplay]] but had mixed reactions to its difficulty. The game influenced ''[[Minecraft]]'', ''[[Rimworld]]'', and others, and was selected [[List of works in the Museum of Modern Art#Video games|among other games]] to be featured in the [[Museum of Modern Art]] to show the history of video gaming in 2012.

The game has [[Text-based game|text-based]] graphics (using the [[Code page 437|CP437]] character set) and is [[open-ended (gameplay)|open-ended]] with no main objectives. Before playing, the player has to set in motion a process which generates a fantasy world with continents, oceans, and islands, produced via generative geology and hydrogeology, meteorology, and biogeography, and then fully simulates the evolution of all civilizations down to the lives of their inhabitants in order to yield a coherent world with internally consistent lore and history. The main game mode, Dwarf Fortress, consists of selecting a suitable site from the generated world, establishing a successful colony or fortress, combating threats like goblin invasions, generating wealth and taking care of the dwarves. Each dwarf is modeled down to its body parts, organs, and tissues, as well as having a discrete mind and individual personality, including likes and dislikes, and possesses specific trainable skills in various labors, as well as short and long term memories to facilitate all this. The second main game mode, Adventurer mode, is a [[turn-based]], open-ended [[roguelike]] mode where the player starts off as an adventurer in the world and is free to explore, complete quests, or visit old abandoned fortresses. The combat system is anatomically detailed with combat logs describing events like organs getting pierced, fat getting bruised and limbs getting severed. Creatures have no [[hit point]]s, and instead death occurs as a result of the impairment or disruption of vital functions.

Prior to ''Dwarf Fortress'', Tarn Adams was working on a project called ''Slaves to Armok: God of Blood'' which was a [[role-playing game]]. By 2004, Adams decided to shift from the original ''Armok'' to ''Dwarf Fortress'' after the former became difficult to maintain. Adams calls it his life's work and said in 2011 that version 1.0 will not be ready for at least another 20 years, and even after that he would continue to work on it. The game has a [[cult following]] and an active online community. As there is no way to win, every fortress, no matter how successful, is usually destroyed somehow. This prompts the official community motto: "Losing is Fun!"

==A curious query==
Hello Wiki Dwarf! I am an old user in English Wikipedia. When I tried to log in here with the same account and password, it failed. Btw, my queries are: 1) Is this wikipedia a part of Wikimedia sister projects? 2) Sometimes, I found some articles, though not original of here (I mean they seems to be imported from the simple English wikipedia), does this mean that all the articles are imported? 3) Can I create my user account here and at the same time, can I create original articles here? Though articles with similar names exist in the en wikipedia?

{{Draft}}{{Tracked|T211734}}

The following guide is intended to help experienced users on Wikimedia wikis build good help pages for new users.

== Context ==
The Growth [[Growth/Focus on help desk|help panel project]] displays five links that goes to relevant help resources. This shows the need of good help pages. That is why this page exists.

The following best practices have been written after [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1q8mL2CXqbcQyhv7JBVw1FTuE3OxUM6twWyF4RwNlaLY/edit#slide=id.p a comparative review of several help pages and help contents].

Since the Growth team's mandate is to work with mid-sized Wikipedias, the following is written accordingly. However, this page can be considered to be a universal resource, applicable to all wikis.

== Structure of a help page ==
An help page consists of three things:

* the '''content''' of the page, that covers the help text and anything that is requested to help readers to achieve their task. It includes:
** how to write the contents,
** how to illustrate the contents with examples, images (screenshots, GIFs...), code citation, and more,
* the '''design''' of the page - how the content is displayed to the user,
* the '''interactivity''' of the page, which leads readers to access to the contents and to more information.

== Content of the page ==

=== Tone and writing ===
'''Help contents are short and focused''': one title and a few sentences for a simple task; one sub-title and a few sentences for each step of a more complex workflow. Each point that needs to be explained is separated from the others by a title or a subtitle. Each section is focusing on one point. Repetitions should be avoided as much as possible.

'''Style of writing is friendly''' to encourage people to learn the topic, but it remains succinct, without a profusion of greetings or jokes.

'''Step-by-step instructions are a key feature.''' They can be a simple list within a section, or numbered sections. They are sometimes more complex (animated illustrations, drawings-based contents…).

'''Context and pre-requested are summarized.''' Like on a Wikipedia article, there is no need to recall the entire context on which the help page is used. For instance, there is no need to detail what is a copyright violation on a page about inserting Quotes. However, since it is an important point to recall, it is vital to summarize it, and provide the appropriate links to it, for further readings.

'''Advanced content is offered as additional resources''' (“see also”, “know more”...). They are not integrated in the help page itself, not even mentioned (no short paragraph about an advanced feature). This is for recommendations or guidances that are supposed to be under the Wikipedia: namespace.

'''Help contents are not editable by regular users.''' A set of trusted users should edit help pages, to be sure that the help contents follow best practices. On wikis, help pages can be protected so that only users with a certain number of edits can edit them.

=== Illustrations ===
'''Images are used for examples.''' They are help users understand the actions they are to take. Illustrations can static; or GIFs, showing an action; or videos. Illustrative images, put on the page just for the purpose of having an image, are not really useful.

'''Icons''' are added in-text when they are used for the action being explained.

== Design of the page ==

=== Specific designs ===
'''Help contents have a specific design.''' This design that makes it clear that Help pages are not a regular site content. Help pages on Wikipedia shouldn't have the same design as articles to avoid confusion.

'''Help pages have a limited width''' to increase readability.

'''A link to a place where to ask a question is provided.''' Users have sometimes the possibility to ask for a question at a separate place (chat, forum, etc.).

'''Mobile compatibility must be provided.''' Help pages must be universally readable.

=== Alternative editing interfaces ("editors") ===
On our wikis, we have several ways to edit pages: VisualEditor on the desktop, the wikitext editor on the desktop, VisualEditor on the mobile website, the wikitext editor on the mobile website, and, less used, wikitext editors on Apps and community wikitext editors. We encourage communities to implement VisualEditor as the default experience.

When different editing interfaces are available, '''examples should be provided for each'''.

This can be done in several ways:

* '''Tabs''' that provide the relevant information for each editor (which requires a technical twist to work)
* '''Separate pages''' that are linked together (with the risk that people will not identify the help content that matches their use case)
* '''Different sections''' in the same help page (this is the most confusing option for people)

== Interactivity of pages ==
'''A search field targeting Help''' is provided for a majority of services. It also means that every help contents are listed under the Help namespace.

'''Contents should be tiered.''' For instance, "how to insert an image" should be listed under a parent page about "inserting contents". Categories on wikis are too confusing to be used as a way to browse contents. They should be used only for maintenance purposes.

'''Advanced contents are offered as additional resources''' (“see also”, “know more”...). They are not detailed, just links with a very short label.

* They are mostly at the end of a section, with a specific design to identify them. They can also be found at the end of the entire page.
* They should be focusing on tangent topics. Example: if you are on a page about adding an image, you can add links to other ways to add other contents.

'''A feedback loop''' should be offered to know if the contents match the expectations from the user.

== Ressources ==

* [[Help:Growth/How to create help contents/Examples|See Examples]]
* [[Template:Help contents header|Unified header template]] (and [[Template:Help contents header/styles.css|template styles file]])

{{notice|1=<translate> This page is about classic FlaggedRevs without protection-based alternative or deferral-based alternative.</translate> <translate> For its protection-based alternative see <tvar|1>{{ll|Help:Pending changes}}</>, and for its deferral-based alternative see <tvar|2>{{ll|Help:Deferred changes}}</>.</translate>}}
<translate> <tvar|FlaggedRevs>{{ll|Extension:FlaggedRevs|FlaggedRevs}}</> is an extension to the MediaWiki software that allows a wiki to monitor the changes that are made to pages, and to control more carefully the content that is displayed to the wiki's readers.</translate>
<translate> Pages can be flagged by certain "editors" and "reviewers" to indicate that they have been reviewed and found to meet whichever criteria the wiki requires.</translate>
<translate> Each subsequent version of the page can be "flagged" by those users to review new changes.</translate>
<translate> A wiki can use a scale of such flags, with only certain users allowed to set each flag.</translate>

<translate> The ability to flag revisions makes it easier to co-ordinate the process of maintaining a wiki, since it is much clearer which edits are new (and potentially undesirable) and which have been accepted as constructive.</translate>
<translate> It is possible, however, to configure pages so that only revisions that are flagged to a certain level are visible when the page is viewed by readers; hence, changes made by users who cannot flag the resulting version to a high enough level remain in a "draft" form until the revision is flagged by another user who can set a higher flag.</translate>

<translate>

FlaggedRevs is extremely flexible and can be used in a wide range of configurations; it can be discreet enough to be almost unnoticeable, or it can be used to very tightly control a wiki's activity.

==Terminology== 
</translate>
<translate> FlaggedRevs introduces some new terminology relating to users and editing.</translate>
<translate> While each term is fully customizable to allow for language differences or per-wiki customization, some terminology is generally universal.</translate>

<translate>

;Flags and flagging
</translate>
<translate> FlaggedRevs allows wikis to define "flags" that can be applied to revisions of a page to indicate the quality or other attributes of that version.</translate>
<translate> Flags form a hierarchy.</translate>

<translate>

;Markers
</translate>
<translate> Markers are more abstract groupings of flags that identify articles as generally of a particular quality.</translate>
<translate> There is only one marker available, "reviewed".</translate>
<translate> By default, any revision that has been flagged to any level on all of the flag scales that the wiki uses, qualifies for the "reviewed" marker.</translate>
<translate> Most wikis will define their own custom flag scales and so these settings will differ.</translate>

<translate>

;Stable and current versions


A page on which FlaggedRevs has been enabled is available in two 'aliases': the "current version" and the "stable version".


''Current version''
: The current version is, as expected, the most recent version including the most recent edits, whether or not those edits were constructive.
: The current version is also referred to as the '''draft''' of a page.


''Stable version''
: The stable version is the most recent version of the page that has been reviewed


You can always link directly to the current or stable versions of a page, by appending <code>&stable=0</code> or <code>&stable=1</code> to the url, respectively.

==FlaggedRevs on an individual page== 

===Viewing=== 


[[File:FLR stable-current banners.png|thumb|{{dir|{{pagelang}}|left|right}}|300px|The notification banners shown at the top of a page when viewing the '''current version (top)''', and the '''stable version (bottom)'''.]]
</translate>

<translate> FlaggedRevs allows a wiki to mark each revision of a page with a flag to indicate its quality or validity, and to control which revisions are shown by default on a page.</translate>
<translate> Each page where FlaggedRevs is enabled is effectively given two alternative aliases; these are the "stable" version, which is the latest version that has been flagged to a sufficiently high level, and the "current" version, which is the most recent revision, flagged or not.</translate>
<translate> Readers can access either version of the page by adding <code>&stable=</code> to the URL in the address bar, setting <code>&stable=0</code> for the current version, and <code>&stable=1</code> for the stable version.</translate>
<translate> On each alias, there is an explanation and a link to the other version.</translate>

<translate> Wiki developers can control which alias is displayed to users and readers by default, and which flags allow a version to be considered 'stable'.</translate>
<translate> Registered users can customize which alias they see by default in their User Preferences.</translate>
<translate> Editors are also made aware of which alias they are viewing by the "<tvar|edit>{{lc:{{int|Edit}}}}</>" tab, which instead displays {{<tvar|1>#ifexist:MediaWiki:Revreview-edit</>|"<tvar|2>{{lc:{{int|Reverview-edit}}}}</>"|(by default) "edit draft"}}.</translate>

<translate>
===Editing=== 


[[File:Flaggedrevs edit window.png|thumb|{{dir|{{pagelang}}|left|right}}|300px|Diff between the "current" and "stable" versions]]
</translate>

<translate> FlaggedRevs does not affect a user's ability to edit a page; only the way the resulting version is handled by the wiki.</translate>
<translate> Whenever a user edits a page, the contents of the edit window are ''always'' the wikimarkup for the ''current'' version, to prevent revision forks from accumulating.</translate>
<translate> When there are unreviewed changes made since the last stable version, a diff is provided above the edit window to highlight any changes.</translate>
<translate> This is important as the text being edited may not be the same as the page the user viewed before clicking the "<tvar|edit>{{lc:{{int|edit}}}}</>" link (if the user was viewing the stable version); and it allows any changes to be immediately reviewed and modified or reverted if necessary.</translate>

<translate>

[[File:Flaggedrevs edit window2.png|thumb|{{dir|{{pagelang}}|right|left}}|300px|Warning message for users whose changes will not be visible]]
</translate>

<translate> If the user will not be able to see their changes in the default alias, an additional warning message is displayed, {{<tvar|1>#ifexist:MediaWiki:Revreview-editnotice</>|"<tvar|2>''{{int|revreview-editnotice}}''</>"|by default "''edits to this page will be incorporated into the stable version once an authorized user reviews them''"}}.</translate>
<translate> Other than this the editing process is unchanged by FlaggedRevs; edits are made, previewed and saved in the normal manner.</translate>

<translate> Users who are capable of reviewing edits are encouraged to do so both during and after they edit.</translate>
<translate> There is an option next to the "<tvar|minor>{{int|minoredit}}</>" and "<tvar|watch>{{int|watchthispage}}</>" checkboxes to immediately review the version resulting from that edit, although this option is unchecked by default.</translate>
<translate> Once a reviewer has made an edit, they are returned to the article as normal, but are presented with a diff of all changes, including theirs, since the last stable version, with the option to immediately review the changes.</translate>

<div style="clear:both">
<translate>
===Reviewing=== 


[[File:Flaggedrevs review bar.png|thumb|{{dir|{{pagelang}}|left|right}}|400px|The review bar is the primary method of reviewing versions]]
</translate>

<translate> Reviewing versions is the primary new activity introduced by FlaggedRevs.</translate>
<translate> With the exception of the "review this edit" checkbox on the edit screen, all methods of reviewing versions use the same interface.</translate>
<translate> At the bottom of a draft page, a series of radio buttons or checkboxes allows the reviewer to select which flags to apply to the revision, and there is the option to provide a comment that will appear in the review log.</translate>

<translate> Users can review any version, including versions that have already been reviewed by others.</translate>
<translate> In this instance the newest review overrides previous reviews: if the new reviewer flags the version at a higher level than the previous reviewer, it is considered a normal "approve" review, while 'confirming' another reviewer's assessment by flagging the version to the same level is recorded as a "re-review".</translate>
<translate> By flagging a previously-reviewed version as 'unassessed', reviewers can effectively 'unflag' a revision; these "deprecations" can be seen in a separate stream in {{<tvar|1>#ifexist:Special:QualityOversight</>|[[<tvar|special>Special:QualityOversight</>|the review log]]|the review log}}.</translate>

<translate>
==FlaggedRevs on a wiki== 

===Finding unreviewed versions=== 
</translate>
<translate> FlaggedRevs is designed to encourage eligible editors to review versions quickly and efficiently, and so links are provided in most common locations to review changes by editors who cannot flag the versions themselves.</translate>
<translate> Edits that have resulted in an unreviewed version are marked with an exclamation mark <span class=unpatrolled>!</span> in the [[Help:Watchlist|watchlist]] and the [[Help:Tracking changes|RecentChanges feed]], with a link to review the changes.</translate>
<translate> When viewing a page that has unreviewed edits, a banner is also added to indicate the number of edits since the last stable version, the age of the stable version, and a link to review the changes.</translate>

<translate>

[[File:Flaggedrevs oldreviewedpages.png|thumb|{{dir|{{pagelang}}|left|right}}|300px|{{<tvar|1>#ifexist:Special:PendingChanges</>|[[Special:PendingChanges]]|Special:PendingChanges}} displays pages where unreviewed edits have been made to the stable version]]


The FlaggedRevs extension also creates a number of new special pages that can be used to find and manage reviewed and unreviewed pages:


* '''{{#ifexist:Special:PendingChanges|[[Special:PendingChanges]]|Special:PendingChanges}}''' (called '''{{#ifexist:Special:OldReviewedPages|[[Special:OldReviewedPages]]|Special:OldReviewedPages}}''' on some wikis) - pages that have pending changes from the stable version.</translate>
<translate>

* '''{{#ifexist:Special:UnreviewedPages|[[Special:UnreviewedPages]]|Special:UnreviewedPages}}''' - pages that have no reviewed stable version.
</translate>

<translate> <tvar name=1>{{#ifexist:Special:UnreviewedPages|[[Special:UnreviewedPages]]|Special:UnreviewedPages}}</tvar> also includes the number of users who have each page on their watchlist, so that 'backwater' articles can be identified and monitored; because of this slightly sensitive information, access to <tvar name=2>Special:UnreviewedPages</tvar> page is usually restricted to users who have the ability to review versions.</translate>
<translate> <tvar name=2>{{#ifexist:Special:OldReviewedPages|[[Special:OldReviewedPages]]|Special:OldReviewedPages}}</tvar> is sorted by the time since the last revision was flagged, oldest first.</translate>

<translate>
===General oversight=== 


In addition to these pages, several other reports give general oversight over the reviewing process. '''{{#ifexist:Special:ConfiguredPages|[[Special:ConfiguredPages]]|Special:ConfiguredPages}}''' is a list of pages where the default display settings have been overridden by administrators to either always show readers the "stable" alias by default or always show readers the "''current''" alias by default, depending on the wiki's FlaggedRevs settings.


Finally, '''{{#ifexist:Special:ValidationStatistics|[[Special:ValidationStatistics]]|Special:ValidationStatistics}}''' provides a summary of how thoroughly each content namespace has been reviewed, and other useful data about the reviewing process.

===Autopromotion=== 


Wikis can configure FlaggedRevs to ''automatically'' grant editors the ability to review versions when they meet certain thresholds of activity.
</translate>

<translate> Wikis need to judge carefully how best to configure the autopromotion feature (if at all) to be as confident as possible that the user is a constructive editor, without making them wait too long to be promoted.</translate>
<translate> Thresholds can be set on a number of attributes, including:</translate>

<translate>

*How old the user's account is (number of days since they registered)</translate>
<translate>

*Their total editcount</translate>
<translate>

**It can be required that these edits have been made consistently over a time period, eg 20 edits spread over a period of 20 days would qualify, but 20 edits all at once would not</translate>
<translate>

**Edits from the last X days can be excluded from the count (giving admins time to look at them)</translate>
<translate>

**A certain number of these edits can also be required to be in "content" namespaces</translate>
<translate>

*The number of separate content ''pages'' the user has edited</translate>
<translate>

*The number of edits the user has made that include an [[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Editing pages#Edit Summary</>|edit summary]]
*Whether the user has a <tvar|2>{{ll|Help:User page|nsp=0}}</>, and how substantial it is (bytecount)</translate>
<translate>

*Whether the user has ever been blocked</translate>
<translate>

*The number of reverted edits the user has (not counting self-reverts)</translate>
<translate>

*How many times the user made an edit summary (including automatic ones)


The autopromotion mechanism can be overridden by administrators, either to promote a user who does not meet the criteria, or to demote a user who has abused the reviewing ability.

==Administrators' abilities== 


[[File:Flaggedrevs stabilisation.png|thumb|{{dir|{{pagelang}}|left|right}}|300px|'''{{#ifexist:Special:Stabilization|[[Special:Stabilization]]|Special:Stabilization}}''' allows administrators to control the display of individual pages]]


While a wiki's developers can define default settings for which alias is presented to each user group by default, these settings can be customized by individual users and for individual pages. Each registered user can set in their [[Help:Preferences|preferences]] whether they wish to see the "current" or "stable" alias by default when viewing an article.


Some group on the wiki, usually administrators, have the ability to use the special page '''{{#ifexist:Special:Stabilization|[[Special:Stabilization]]|Special:Stabilization}}''' to override the default display for unregistered users. Administrators can set a page to display the stable version by default, and can also control ''how'' the stable version is selected, choosing which marker is preferred.


Administrators also have the ability to [[<tvar|user-rights>Special:MyLanguage/Help:User rights and groups</>|grant users the ability]] to review edits, and to revoke that permission in case of abuse, by using the [[Special:UserRights]] interface. This explicit assignment overrides any permissions automatically given to the user by the autopromote feature – if an administrator has explicitly revoked a user's reviewing permissions, the autopromote feature will not grant them back, and vice versa.

The Rock would then regularly insult the audience, WWF performers, and interviewers in his [[Promos (professional wrestling)|promos]].<ref name="nation" />

On March 29, at [[WrestleMania XIV]], he defeated Shamrock by disqualification once again to retain the title. The next night, on ''Raw is War'', the Rock debuted a new Intercontinental Championship design and would later overthrow Faarooq as leader of the Nation of Domination to spark a feud between the two. He then successfully defended the Intercontinental title against Faarooq at [[Over the Edge: In Your House]] on May 31. The stable would then refer to themselves as simply "The Nation".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wweppv/inyourhouse22.html |title=In Your House 22: Over the Edge 1998 results |publisher=Online World of Wrestling |access-date=March 19, 2008}}</ref>

The Rock and The Nation then feuded with [[Triple H]] and [[D-Generation X]], with the two stable leaders first meeting in the quarter-final of the [[King of the Ring (1998)#King of the Ring bracket|1998]] [[King of the Ring tournament]], which the Rock won. At [[King of the Ring (1998)|King of the Ring]], the Rock defeated [[Dan Severn]] in the semi-final match and lost to rival Ken Shamrock in the final.

The Rock continued to feud with Mankind over the WWF Championship, which was traded back and forth between them.

The Rock returned in late July 2001 when the WWF was feuding with rival promotions [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW) and [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] (ECW) during what's known as [[The Invasion (professional wrestling)|The Invasion]] storyline. In reality, WCW was purchased by Vince McMahon and the WWF, and ECW had gone out of business in early 2001. Many former WCW and ECW wrestlers were then brought onto WWF television and formed [[The Alliance (professional wrestling)|The Alliance]] to compete with WWF in storyline. The Alliance and Vince McMahon then both attempted to persuade the Rock to join their team. The Rock then aligned with McMahon and the WWF.

As part of the WWF's battle against The Alliance, the Rock wrestled in a "winner takes all" five-on-five elimination tag team match at [[Survivor Series (2001)|Survivor Series]] where the losing team's company would be dissolved in storyline. He was a member of Team WWF along with Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Kane, and Big Show. The Alliance's team consisted of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Booker T, [[Rob Van Dam]], and Shane McMahon. In the end, it came down to a one-on-one between the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rock seemed to have the upper hand, until his teammate Jericho entered the ring and attacked the Rock. Austin tried to capitalize on this by pinning the Rock, but Kurt Angle revealed his true allegiance by attacking Austin.

This page is for the announcement of milestones on the [[Wikimedia projects]]. If you want to make such an announcement, please post it here and translate it if you can.

Recommended '''article-count milestones''' are 100, 500, 1k (1,000), 2k, 5k, then 5k increments to 20k, 10k increments to 100k, 50k increments to 200k, 100k increments to 1M (1,000,000), 500k increments to 2M, and 1M increments to 10M. Article (or content-page) counts should reflect the counts seen at each wiki's [[Special:Statistics]] page, which are based on [[mw:Manual:Article count|what MediaWiki sees as constituting an article]]. Other milestones, such as page edits, registered users or featured articles, can also be announced here, but typically only the powers-of-ten levels of these statistics are considered significant enough to announce.

'''[[Wikimedia Forum]]''' provides a place for general discussion.

''Report news'' to the [[Internal news media]].

* [[Wikinews]] ends the year with 1,734,078 articles in 34 languages, which constitutes a 215% increase in articles over the past year (mostly due to mass-creation of articles by bots in the [[n:ru:|Russian Wikinews]], which ramped up considerably in late 2020 and slowed again in mid 2021).
* [[Wikiversity]] ends the year with 135,538 learning modules in 54 languages (comprising 132,232 modules in 17 separate language wikis and an additional 3,306 modules in 37 languages [[betawikiversity:States of Wikiversities|at Wikiversity Beta]]), which constitutes a 6% increase in learning modules over the past year.

* There were 18 content wikis [[incubator:Incubator:Site creation log#2021|created in 2021]] (9 Wikipedias, 6 Wiktionaries, 2 Wikisources, and 1 Wikivoyage); this is 4 more than were created in 2020.
* One content wiki was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Northern Luri Wikipedia|emptied and closed (locked)]] in 2021 (the [[:lrc:|Northern Luri Wikipedia]]).
:: <small>''Note:'' The article counts listed above are actual counts collected in the last 5 minutes of 2021-12-31 (UTC).

== Projects by number of content pages ==
The tables below are arranged chronologically by the original launch dates of the major content projects, within two main groups: "[[Help:Interlanguage links|interlingual]]" projects (different wiki for each language) followed by "multilingual" projects (all languages on the same wiki). The older [[:en:Wikimedia Foundation#Wikimedia projects|Wikimedia projects]] (such as Wikipedia) tend to be larger than the newer ones, but note that these tables are ''not'' arranged by number of sub-wikis nor by total article count (across all languages).

For the interlingual projects, ''within'' each table the individual language editions are arranged by milestone level, and then chronologically by the date the milestones were first reached.

:<small>''Note:'' You can go directly to the table for [[#Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[#Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], [[#Wikiquote|Wikiquote]], [[#Wikibooks|Wikibooks]], [[#Wikisource|Wikisource]], [[#Wikinews|Wikinews]], [[#Wikiversity|Wikiversity]], [[#Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]], [[#Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]], [[#Wikispecies|Wikispecies]], or [[#Wikidata|Wikidata]].</small>

[[en:Linux|Linux]] has the [[en:Tux (mascot)|penguin]]. [[en:MySQL|MySQL]] has the dolphin. O'Reilly has a whole zoo. Every successful open source / open content project seems to have a mascot - should [[Wikipedia]] have a mascot in addition to the logo?

==No mascot, please!==
''If you don't want a mascot''

Is wikipedia represented by the logo, by the mascot, by the word itself, by the square quotes...? Stick to one brand and utilise that to it's full potential.) --[[User:Buxul|Buxul]] the square quotes and a logo are enough -- [[User:Gutza|Gutza]] (see Paullusmagnus, plus: Why? What's the real use of a mascot?

*I think a mascot would take away from the beauty of the Wikipedia logo. [[User:Jade Knight|The Jade Knight]] 23:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved out: <s>[[User:Sverdrup|Sverdrup]] (Symbols are better, esp with the international nature of Wikipedia in though)</s> Redecided, I want a mascot [[User:Sverdrup|✏ Sverdrup]] 15:05, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Some rationales from the above voters:

* The Wikipedia logo already beautifully conveys the earth itself, and diverse human cultures around the globe, as the "mascot" of Wikipedia. A different mascot would compete with the logo and dilute the value of the Wikipedia brand.
* All, or nearly all, open-source mascots look very amateurish. So do all the mascots below as of this writing. Granted, Wikipedia editors are mostly amateurs, but openly embracing amateur content decreases the value of the brand. Some editors (including me) would be less likely to contribute to the project if we're going to brand ourselves with a mascot that shouts "amateurville". ([[User:Tempshill2|Tempshill2]] 18:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC))

==Mascot, please!==
''If you want a mascot.''

It could be used in the [[Logo suggestions|logo]], printed on [[Wikipedia T-shirts|T-shirts]] or kept as a housepet. But what should it be? A [[en:fish|fish]], a [[en:bird|bird]], an [[en:insect|insect]], a [[en:mammal|mammal]], a [[en:reptile|reptile]], a [[en:virus|virus]]? This page is for collecting ideas. At any time, feel free to express your support for a particular mascot by putting your name under it.

It would probably be nice if the mascot somehow represented the [[en:Wikipedia:Self-references spirit | spirit]] of Wikipedia, e.g.:
* social
* massively cooperative
* controversial
* chaotic
* growing
* ambitious
* infectious
* curious

'''Mascot Name'''
Once the mascot is chosen, a name may need to be given to it see: [[Wikipedia mascot/name]]

'''Suggested mascots'''
This is [[en:Approval voting]] so you can add your name next to as many choices as you want.

===Alphabetical order===
Please keep entries in alphabetical order so that people can easily find and refer to potential mascots. Please do not add new options unless you get them seconded by one other Wikipedian. The current options are:

# amoeba
# Amorphous blob
# [[en:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]]
# beaver
# [[en:Bob Dole|Bob Dole]]
# centipede
# [[en:Clifford Clavin|Clifford Clavin]]
# coyote
# honeybees
# leafcutter ants
# meerkat
# mice
# monkey with typewriter
# octopus
# otter
# owl
# platypus
# puzzle piece
# [[Wikipedia_mascot#Pythia|Pythia]]
# sand puppy
# serpiente
# slime mold
# stick insect
# Tardigrade / Tardígrado
# termites
# [[en:The_Thinker|The_Thinker]]
# Weasel
# [[Wikipedia_mascot#Wikipe-tan|Wikipe-tan]]

===Amoeba===
*Support: <strong>2</strong> [[User:Torombol|Torombol]] --
[[User:Ola_H|Ola_H]] --

*Rationale: I don't know if it's being used by another GNU project, but I really like an amoeba for mascot. It is chaotic, it is growing, becoming something that nobody could know cooperating with other amoebas, it could be infectious, curious and very social.

*Image: I don't have it, but I will like an amoeba with glasses.

"Please do not add new options unless you get them seconded by one other Wikipedian." Sorry for not following the instructions.

===Amorphous blob===
*"Wikipedia", the Amorphous blob!

*Support: [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

===Anglerfish===
* I think the mascot should be one of those tripped-out deepsea fish with the glowing ball of light. Wiki the [[en:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]], bringing light to the depths of the vast ocean of human knowledge. Yah, thatd be tite. [[User:Lir]]

*Support: <strong>3</strong> [[User:I am Jack's username|I am Jack's username]] -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] -- mmasaki (18.252.2.100)

*Image ideas: [http://www.travelandrvcanada.com/traveland/inventory/Beaver_logo.jpg], [http://www.canadianmoose.com/images/CMAP1-aa_Roots_ Beaver_logo.gif]

*Rationale:
** build dams, sociable, beneficial to the environment, instrumental in creating habitats for many aquatic organisms, maintaining the water table at an appropriate level and controlling flooding and erosion, nocturnal, extremely productive (like us)

*Problems:
**Maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea to have a shot of a beaver as the logo -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick]]

Liked it. -- [[User:LifeMega|LifeMega]] 19:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC) I love the Wikipede. The name sounds like [[Wikipedian]], and the many arms represent the many people contributing.
[[en:User:Nahallac Silverwinds|Naha]] Great play on words! It has so much personality and potential. It jumps right off the page! Owls and monkeys are already way overused as logos around the world. The ant just seems too plain. Lets be different!

*Images - [http://pmo.umext.maine.edu/ipddl/centipede.jpg], [http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/uniramia/centipede.gif], [http://www.insectsafari.com/insectid/newimages/centipede.jpg], , [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer%3AElian Elian's] version, [[w:Image:wikipedesketch1.png]], [[Image talk:wikipedia_mascot_matte.png|another alternate version]]

*Rationale: legs co-operate, great (disarmingly cute) images. Controversial (not Disneyish). Very agile and can bend this way or that to get past obstacles. Centipedes will fight off bigger insects or spiders, will decimate cockroaches. Millipedes can roll themselves into a tight little ball when threatened and avoid injury and at times roll speedily away from danger. "wikipede" is a nice pun.

*Problems: negative/creepy connotations for some (see images above) - drawings are good though. Do they co-operate enough? Name "Wikipede" hard to internationalise.

===Chick coming out of a Wikipedia Jigsaw Egg ===

The chicken would be coming out of an egg (that is made out of the jigsaw puzzle pieces of the Wikipedia Globe). It shows how nice cute and tender Wikipedia is... And the growth that lies ahead and reminds us of the chicken and egg problem.... The Wikipedia was born first or the Wikipedians ;-) [[User:SudarshanP|SudarshanP]] 16:40, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

:This is a mockup of a mascot for Wikipedia or Wikidata. Part of the image is derived from [http://www.gocollect.com/product_display/products/display_product.asp?image=/images/LooneyTunes/300/985009.jpg] . Someone with good artistic skill can improve on this "theme" to make it completely legal. Apart from being a candidate for Wikipedia Mascot... I think it could be a candidate for the logo of [[Wikidata]] or Semantic Wikipedia. The Wikipedians construct the Jigsaw Egg(Wikipedia), piece by piece, it hatches and out comes the Semantic Wikipedia(Wikidata). It represents the '''birth''' of something much more than what went into it. [[User:SudarshanP|SudarshanP]] 18:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

===Coyote===

*Support: [[User:Calliope|Calliope]]

*Rationale: Coyotes are ''curious'' (will investigate human activity when they roam into residential areas); ''controversial'' (farmers and ranchers tend to hate them but other people like them); ''growing'' (the range of coyote territory has expanded greatly in recent years and keeps expanding); ''cooperative'' (in the way they raise pups and hunt together to bring down animals they couldn't kill alone); ''ambitious'' in their search for food and in tackling animals much larger than themselves; and ''social'' in the way they vocalize to communicate with other coyotes and travel in packs. (You could also call them infectious, but coyotes don't get rabies as often as domestic dogs.) And yes, coyotes are very cute and good to draw.

*Rationale: Work cooperatively, have a Queen (Jimbo rules!), collect nectar (collect info), take that back to the hive, and turn that into honey (articles). Very positive symbol. Wikipedia resembles a humming hive of busy workers making something beautiful (honey=free quality information resource). Bees communicate well with each other, and there is some evidence that they work with a type of collective intelligence. The nectar collection also pollinates flowers so that they can reproduce.

** He has actually already endorsed Wikpedia, see [http://www.wilwheaton.net/mt/archives/001116.php here].

*** Sure he has, I originally came to Wikipedia by following that very link! My objection was just on the grounds that it's his site that I think of when I think of monkeys and typewriters.

** Wheaton is just using the old idea of an infinite number of monkeys working at an infinite number of typewriters banging out a copy of ''Hamlet''. It's used many places. -- [[User:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]]

''There used to be a monkey logo at [[Logo suggestions--humorous logos]], however the images were stored offsite and have vanished.''

I agree strongly with the symbols evocked higher, but this would be so fun I cannont resist to be pro [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur%3AJul Jul]

If the monkey is chosen, it would look best typing with its feet! Not only would it be funny (even funnier than a regular old monkey), it would be a good reason for explaining why Wikipedia isn't perfect.

I think that the monkeys working on it would be a definite show of the collaboration in the process of creating the wikipedia. Of course, thousands of monkeys, in addition to writing shakespeare also produce a fair amount of [[Davey Havok|crap]]. I don't really like the idea of having a mascot at all; I feel a photograph, such as the one given, would be better.

*The octopus has a soft body with a well-developed brain, similar to a human's. It is known to be very intelligent.[ Analogy- wikipedia- amorphous/ undefined/ ambiguous body and intelligent mind]

*Octopi hunt primarily at night or on dark dreary days, thus this is the best time to see them out and about[Analogy- wikipedians? moonlighting [ I think that's what Westerners call working on alternate job at night?]

*The octopus seizes its prey with its eight long arms. These arms bear two rows of suckers each. The hundreds of suckers that line their arms help the octopus to hold on to almost anything.[ Analogy- no explanations necessary- wikipedians grab on to lots of info and there is no corner unreached, second important reason why I suggested this mascot]

*Octopus head= wikipedia, tentacles= wikipedians.If an octopus loses one of its tentacles, it will soon grow another one in the same place.[ Analogy- most important reason why I chose octopus for wikipedia- bad users are banned- new ones are taken in, good ones are retained... and so on- there is an element of regeneration and constant renewal, and the idea of the whole being more than [and more important than] the sum of its parts]

*minus points- is there an element of cruelty in the catching of prey and tentacles?

my opinion:
No! If the tentacles are the members, then we members are sucking up information! We are the tentacles catching the prey, knowledge!--[[User:65.172.213.123|65.172.213.123]] 16:44, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

===Otter===
*Rationale: There are several species, but perhaps freshwater (river) otters might be the best choice. They embody all of the qualities listed above with perhaps special emphasis on playful and curious. The appearance and behavior is appealing at least to humans and other otters, and though rather incompatible with an orderly environment due to their playfulness and curiosity, they are not known to be vicious, hostile, or agressive. Regrettably, unlike centipedes or milipedes, they have only a few feet, thus not stressing the "...pedia" aspect of Wikipedia. Perhaps this could be remedied by adopting an appropriate name, eg Pede, the Otter? Public domain images, a la those used by O'Reilly Publishers for their covers might be appropriate, or perhaps a cartoon akin in spirit to that used for Tux (the Linux mascot) would be better. Artists are invited to have a go. The aspect to be emphasized in such a cartoon otter is a impish curiosity, with perhaps a touch of satisfaction at recent excellent meal of insufficiently quick fish or newly found understanding.

===La Serpiente===
<div style="float:left; padding:15pt;">
http://es.wikipedia.org/upload/d/d1/WIKI.jpg
</div>
El movimiento forma parte de la energía y de lo más íntimo de la materia: El movimiento es la energía y la materia.

Todas las capacidades y expectativas del conocimiento humano permanecen ligadas a la idea de movimiento.

La mascota que sugiero es la serpiente que mira una onda senoidal que representa el movimiento y al mismo tiempo la representa a ella misma.

Además la serpiente es femenina, como se intuye el futuro, y está estrechamente ligada al pasado del conocimiento de la humanidad (El Edén, Egipto, la medicina...)

En la representación, la fusión de la serpiente con los ejes cartesianos sugiere la unión entre las líneas rectas y curvas, la cruz y la luna, es decir la herencia del conocimiento de occidente unido con la de oriente.

please, if you´re able translate this into english, thanks, the author

[Here the translation into English]

Serpent, movement is part of the energy and most intimately of the matter: The movement is the energy and the matter.

All the capacities and expectations of the human knowledge remain bound to the movement idea.

The mascot that I suggest is the serpent that watches a sine wave that represents the movement and at the same time it represents herself.

In addition the serpent is feminine [in some cultures: note of the translator], as it is intuited the future, and closely is bound to the past of knowledge of humanity (Eden, Egypt, medicine...)

In the representation, the fusion of the serpent with the cartesian axes suggests the union between the straight and curved lines, the cross and the moon, meaning the inheritance of the knowledge of the West united with the one of east.

* '''Support:''' '''1''' [[User:Node_ue|Node]]
* '''Weak support:''' [[user:zanimum]]

<h3>Comments</h3>
* Wikipedia should '''not''' be referred with '''any animal''', because it is not a computer programme processing data as MySQL or Linux. Therefore instread of fauna, it should be part of flora, because it is data more than just a programme processing data. -- [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

** I don't get your point. Programs use animals, so projects and organizations shouldn't? -- [[user:zanimum]]

* The second problem is, that if Wikipedia is animal, it could become in some circumtances be an unacceptable animal like pig (for exampe one of Walt Disney's three little pigs http://www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/pigs/mstory.htm ) in Jewish or Moslem cultures. A red cross and red half moon are examples of the risk. -- [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

** Exactly why the centipede, in the lead in terms of votes, is beyond being simply a deplorable choice. It's an equal opportunity turn off. While no religion or culture is offended by the tree, mustard gas started all the chemical warfare that's killed many thousands internationally. -- [[user:zanimum]]

* How exactly is a mustard tree identifiable iconicly, versus a spruce or apple? If it simply looks like a tree, then the uninformed won't have a clue to the reasoning behind it, no matter how sound. -- [[user:zanimum]]

* '''Wikipedism is a belief in rationality and it is neo-encyclopedism''' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedism
** What? People have based their personal spirituality on Wikipedia? -- [[user:zanimum]]

* Luke 17:5 (NIV) The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."
** Bible or any religious reasoning = ignoring other cultural groups. -- [[user:zanimum]]

* http://www.io.com/~maddog/pho_huis.jpg

* In Canada, mustard is a ground-level plant, rather like a weed. Are these plants both related in any way? -- [[user:zanimum]]

* It is low in cholesterol, fats, and saturated fat. -- [[user:zanimum]]

===slime mold===
*Support: <strong>3</strong> [[User:Anthere]] (these were too cute...) -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick]] -- has multiple phases; should appeal to anyone who grew up with [[en:Pokemon]]. [[User:Sj|Sj]] 10:16, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

*Rationale: Their progress goes much in the same heuristic way as the wikipedians. -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick]]

===Tardigrade / Tardígrado===
The Tardigrade is the strongest animal ever. Don't we want our ideology to be deathless? Don't have the image yet, but you can look about this animal here in wikipedia.

El Tardígrado es el animal más fuerte de todos. ¿No queremos acaso que nuestra ideología perdure? Aún no tengo la imagen, pero pueden averiguar sobre este animal aquí en wikipedia.

===Termites===
*Support: <strong>3</strong> anthere (that make a lot of sense) -- [[User:Ducker|Ducker]] -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick]]

*Rationale: Termites are co-operative animals. In some ways we are like them in our work on the House of Intellectual Property. They are so maligned that there is little chance that anyone has chosen them as a mascot before.

*Problems: Termites are known as destroyers, not builders. -- [[User:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]]

** I recently found this impressive termite home[http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/MMS/termite1.jpg] which seems to prove the opposite ;-) --[[User:Elian|Elian]]

***Oh sure, termites are ''tremendous'' builders, but that's not commonly associated with them. I simply said they're ''known'' as destroyers. People tend to think of termites infesting buildings rather than building impressive structures. I like to think that Wikipedia is fighting repressive notions of "intellectual properity" by building something better, not by undermining what already exists. -- [[User:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]]

=== Weasel ===

Weasels are small cute and furry. Also inquisitive. [[User:William M. Connolley|William M. Connolley]] 11:06, 12 September 2005 (UTC).

But rather ferocious [[User:61.230.79.157|61.230.79.157]] 00:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Modeled after Shamu, of course. [[User:165.247.81.57|165.247.81.57]] 00:37, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, it is not the most cooperative animal, they do live in pods, but it isn't really a pack/herd/group animal. and what do you mean modeled after shamu? they all look like that. I have nothing against it, but nothing for it either, except that they look cool :-) - jedi of redwall

===Wikipe-tan===
[[Image:Wikipe-tan head.png|thumb|New and improved colored Wikipe-tan]]
[[Image:Wikipe-tan sockpuppet show.png|thumb|Sockpuppet show]]
:Support: '''31''' or so, judging from the commentary.

*I like it, maybe Wiki-San? But it would make the site seem to anime-ish when Wikipedia holds such a wealth of other things -KomradeKomer
**Nobody's seriously going to give up the Wikipede, but I think maybe the foundation should make Wikipe-tan a ''second'' official mascot. [[User:Ashibaka|Ashibaka]] 01:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Strong Support''' What makes a symbol a good symbol? It has to be something that strongly relates to what it's supposed to represent, something unique enough as to gain recognition when it's encountered, something that evokes emotion, something simple and to the point. I'm no expert but I believe this thing here bests the Wikipede on all three categories and would make for a better ''first'' mascot, not second. [[User:AceMyth|AceMyth]] 02:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
*'''Weak Support''' I like her mostly because she's original. My only problem is that Wikipedia is not focused on anime and the cutesy appearance may relate bad sterotypes into Wikipedia. H2P [[User:192.122.237.11|192.122.237.11]] 17:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

<translate>
'''Special pages''' are [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Creating a page on the fly</tvar>|created by the software on demand]]. They are located in the "<tvar name="2">Special:</tvar>" [[<tvar name="3">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespace</tvar>|namespace]] and have no corresponding wikitext. An automatic list of most special pages is available by the <tvar name="4">[[Special:Specialpages|{{int:specialpages}}]]</tvar> link on every wiki page.
</translate>
<translate>Below is an arranged list of special pages available on most [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia movement</tvar>|Wikimedia]] projects. Page names are case-insensitive; their default names were converted from capitalized lowercase to [[w:CamelCase|CamelCase]] in March 2008.</translate>
<translate>
For many special pages the option <tvar name="1">[[Special:Preferences|{{int:mypreferences}}]]</tvar> → <tvar name="2">{{int:recentchanges}}</tvar> → "<tvar name="3">{{int:recentchangescount}}</tvar>" determines the number of titles per page.

== Lists==

=== All pages ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Allpages|{{int:allpages}}]]''' <small>(Allpages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Prefixindex|{{int:prefixindex}}]]''' <small>(Prefixindex)</small>
<translate>
MediaWiki searches all pages in a specified group of names in a special [[w:ASCII#Order|ASCII order]]. Capitals come before lowercase letters; special characters, such as <tvar name="1">''é''</tvar>, come after <tvar name="2">''z''</tvar>.

MediaWiki searches include redirects (for example: <tvar name="1"><nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Page name]]</nowiki></tvar>). These redirects are usually displayed in a different style than normal pages because of <tvar name="2"><code>allpagesredirect</code></tvar> class.

If a person uses "<tvar name="1">{{int:allpagesfrom}}</tvar>" to search, both <tvar name="2">[[Special:Prefixindex]]</tvar> and <tvar name="3">[[Special:Allpages]]</tvar> will show the list of pages starting with this word, then Allpages will display all of the other pages in ASCII order which don't have this word.

For example, if a person types in "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in the "<tvar name="2">{{int:allpagesfrom}}</tvar>" box on the <tvar name="3">[[Special:AllPages]]</tvar> page, MediaWiki will first list all pages that start with the word "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>":
</translate>
* Computer
* Computer-Aided Design
* Computer-Aided Test Tool
* ComputerWorld Smithsonian Award
<translate>
MediaWiki will then list all of the other pages that don't start with "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in [[en:ASCII#Order|ASCII order]].

<translate>
== Links to special pages ==
</translate>
{{anchor|Miscellaneous}} 
<translate>
Special pages can be linked to as usual, like <tvar name="1">[[Special:Recentchanges]]</tvar>. Instead of "<tvar name="2">special</tvar>" prefix, a localized namespace name can be used, e.g. "<tvar name="3">Speciaal</tvar>" in Dutch, "<tvar name="4">Spezial</tvar>" in German, "<tvar name="5">Speciális</tvar>" in Hungarian and "<tvar name="6">מיוחד</tvar>" in Hebrew. The localized name also appears in the [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:URL</tvar>|URLs]].

Redirects to special pages have been disabled because of their complications.

Some special pages accept (and some require) a parameter after <tvar name="1"><code>/</code></tvar>. For other pages and parameters the full URL has to be given, for example <tvar name="2">{{SERVER}}/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=10</tvar> (last 10 changes).
</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Allpages</code></tvar> and <tvar name="2"><code>Prefixindex</code></tvar> allow a namespace and a (partial) pagename, for example:</translate>
:* [[Special:Allpages/Template:Z]] — <translate>all templates starting with "<tvar name="1">Z</tvar>" and all templates after that.</translate>
:* [[Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/]] — <translate>all [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Subpages</tvar>|subpages]] of user <tvar name="2">Example</tvar>; this is the most popular usage of <tvar name="3">PrefixIndex</tvar>.</translate>
: <translate>Besides, these special pages can be [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Transclusion</tvar>|transcluded]] into wikitext, so the result appears as the part of the page, e.g. <tvar name="2"><code><nowiki>{{Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/}}</nowiki></code></tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Whatlinkshere</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Recentchangeslinked</code></tvar>, <tvar name="3"><code>Movepage</code></tvar>, <tvar name="4"><code>Undelete</code></tvar>, <tvar name="5"><code>Contributions</code></tvar> and <tvar name="6"><code>Blockip</code></tvar>, being interface links, accept (or even require) a page or a user name, e.g. <tvar name="7">[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Special page]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Search</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Linksearch</code></tvar> and <tvar name="3"><code>MIMEsearch</code></tvar> accept search value, e.g. <tvar name="4">[[Special:Search/word]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Listusers</code></tvar> can be used with a group name: <tvar name="2">sysop</tvar>, <tvar name="3">bot</tvar>, <tvar name="4">bureaucrat</tvar>, <tvar name="5">checkuser</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">[[Special:Listusers/bot]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Log</code></tvar> can be used with a log type: <tvar name="2">move</tvar>, <tvar name="3">protect</tvar>, <tvar name="4">block</tvar>, <tvar name="5">delete</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">[[Special:Log/move]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Random</code></tvar> and <tvar name="2"><code>Randomredirect</code></tvar> accept namespace (see [[<tvar name="3">#Random</tvar>|above]]).</translate>
<translate>
Two special pages <tvar name="1">'''[[Special:Mypage|Mypage]]'''</tvar> and <tvar name="2">'''[[Special:Mytalk|Mytalk]]'''</tvar> exist specially for internal links, they redirect to the pages of a user who follows these links. Examples: <tvar name="3">[[Special:Mypage]]</tvar>, <tvar name="4">[[Special:Mypage/common.js]]</tvar>.

== Transclusion ==
</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Recentchanges</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Newpages</code></tvar>, <tvar name="3"><code>Newimages</code></tvar> and <tvar name="4"><code>OldReviewedPages</code></tvar> can be transcluded:</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/shownav}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>show with header</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/10}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>show 10 elements</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/limit=10,offset=10,shownav}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>start from 10th element, plus previous parameters</translate>
<translate>
From [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLangauge7MediaWiki 1.19</tvar>|MediaWiki 1.19]] template-like syntax works also, see <tvar name="2">[[bugzilla:15558]]</tvar>. For example:
</translate>
<pre>
{{Special:Newpages|limit=3}}
</pre>
<translate>gives</translate>
{{Special:Newpages|limit=3}}
<translate>
== Logs ==
</translate>

[[Special:Log]] - <translate>combined display of various logs. You can narrow down the view by:</translate>
* <translate>selecting a log type, including:</translate>
** [[Special:Log/block|{{int:blockpage}}]] - <translate>blocks and unblocks</translate>
** [[Special:Log/delete|{{int:dellogpage}}]] - <translate>deleted and undeleted pages</translate>
** [[Special:Log/protect|{{int:protectlogpage}}]] - <translate>protected and unprotected pages</translate>
** [[Special:Log/upload|{{int:uploadlogpage}}]] - <translate>list of images uploaded</translate>
* <translate>entering the full name without prefix of the acting user (usual case-sensitivity)</translate>
* <translate>entering the full name of the affected page (usual case-sensitivity) e.g. "<tvar name="1">File:Map South Holland.png</tvar>"), or the full name including prefix of the affected user (in the case of blocking, setting user rights, setting bot status, and user creation) or without prefix (in the case of renaming a user)</translate>
<translate>
It does not seem possible to search by editor for edits of deleted pages. They can only be seen by a sysop with Special:Undelete if the exact page name is known.

There are no logs available on the site for:
</translate>
* <translate>adding or removing a page from a user's list of page to watch (the user can only view the current state)</translate>
* <translate>change of preferences of a user (ditto)</translate>
* <translate>viewing a page (except that, if <tvar name="1">[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgDisableCounters|$wgDisableCounters]]</tvar> is <tvar name="2"><code>false</code></tvar>, the total number of views of a page is displayed on it)</translate>
* <translate>editing and previewing a page without saving</translate>
* <translate>applying <tvar name="1">[[Special:ExpandTemplates]]</tvar></translate>
* <translate>applying <tvar name="1">[[Special:Export]]</tvar></translate>
* <translate>unfinished operations (e.g. an attempted page move)</translate>
<translate>
It is possible to add other events to the logs; for an example, see the code for [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalBlocking</tvar>|Extension:GlobalBlocking]] or for <tvar name="2">[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Article.php|Article.php]]</tvar>.

== Help:Special page ==

{{help-meta}}
----
"Special pages" are pages which are automatically generated by the [[MediaWiki]] software which runs Wiktionary. They all have names beginning with "'''Special:'''" and thus can be linked to from any user page, talk page, or page in the ''Wiktionary:'' [[Help:Namespace|namespace]], by using internal links of the form:
:<nowiki>[[Special:</nowiki>''pagename'']]
Special pages should not be linked to from the dictionary entries in the main namespace.

A list of (almost) all available special pages can be found at [[Special:Specialpages]]. These pages cannot be directly edited by users; if you have a comment or suggestion about a special page, you should post it to [[Wiktionary talk:Special pages|this talk page]].

In the following list the long form of each special page name is followed by the short form used in links (shown as ''pagename'' in the above example).

This page is for the announcement of milestones on the [[Wikimedia projects]]. If you want to make such an announcement, please post it here and translate it if you can.

Recommended '''article-count milestones''' are 100, 500, 1k (1,000), 2k, 5k, then 5k increments to 20k, 10k increments to 100k, 50k increments to 200k, 100k increments to 1M (1,000,000), 500k increments to 2M, and 1M increments to 10M. Article (or content-page) counts should reflect the counts seen at each wiki's [[Special:Statistics]] page, which are based on [[mw:Manual:Article count|what MediaWiki sees as constituting an article]]. Other milestones, such as page edits, registered users or featured articles, can also be announced here, but typically only the powers-of-ten levels of these statistics are considered significant enough to announce.

'''[[Wikimedia Forum]]''' provides a place for general discussion.

* [[Wikinews]] ends the year with 1,734,078 articles in 34 languages, which constitutes a 215% increase in articles over the past year (mostly due to mass-creation of articles by bots in the [[n:ru:|Russian Wikinews]], which ramped up considerably in late 2020 and slowed again in mid 2021).
* [[Wikiversity]] ends the year with 135,538 learning modules in 54 languages (comprising 132,232 modules in 17 separate language wikis and an additional 3,306 modules in 37 languages [[betawikiversity:States of Wikiversities|at Wikiversity Beta]]), which constitutes a 6% increase in learning modules over the past year.

* There were 18 content wikis [[incubator:Incubator:Site creation log#2021|created in 2021]] (9 Wikipedias, 6 Wiktionaries, 2 Wikisources, and 1 Wikivoyage); this is 4 more than were created in 2020.

== Projects by number of content pages ==
The tables below are arranged chronologically by the original launch dates of the major content projects, within two main groups: "[[Help:Interlanguage links|interlingual]]" projects (different wiki for each language) followed by "multilingual" projects (all languages on the same wiki). The older [[:en:Wikimedia Foundation#Wikimedia projects|Wikimedia projects]] (such as Wikipedia) tend to be larger than the newer ones, but note that these tables are ''not'' arranged by number of sub-wikis nor by total article count (across all languages).

For the interlingual projects, ''within'' each table the individual language editions are arranged by milestone level, and then chronologically by the date the milestones were first reached.

:<small>''Note:'' You can go directly to the table for [[#Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[#Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], [[#Wikiquote|Wikiquote]], [[#Wikibooks|Wikibooks]], [[#Wikisource|Wikisource]], [[#Wikinews|Wikinews]], [[#Wikiversity|Wikiversity]], [[#Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]], [[#Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]], [[#Wikispecies|Wikispecies]], or [[#Wikidata|Wikidata]].</small>

Some rationales from the above voters:

* The Wikipedia logo already beautifully conveys the earth itself, and diverse human cultures around the globe, as the "mascot" of Wikipedia. A different mascot would compete with the logo and dilute the value of the Wikipedia brand.
* All, or nearly all, open-source mascots look very amateurish. So do all the mascots below as of this writing. Granted, Wikipedia editors are mostly amateurs, but openly embracing amateur content decreases the value of the brand. Some editors (including me) would be less likely to contribute to the project if we're going to brand ourselves with a mascot that shouts "amateurville". ([[User:Tempshill2|Tempshill2]] 18:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC))

==Mascot, please!==
''If you want a mascot.''

It could be used in the [[Logo suggestions|logo]], printed on [[Wikipedia T-shirts|T-shirts]] or kept as a housepet. But what should it be? A [[en:fish|fish]], a [[en:bird|bird]], an [[en:insect|insect]], a [[en:mammal|mammal]], a [[en:reptile|reptile]], a [[en:virus|virus]]? This page is for collecting ideas. At any time, feel free to express your support for a particular mascot by putting your name under it.

It would probably be nice if the mascot somehow represented the [[en:Wikipedia:Self-references spirit | spirit]] of Wikipedia, e.g.:
* social
* massively cooperative
* controversial
* chaotic
* growing
* ambitious
* infectious
* curious

'''Mascot Name'''
Once the mascot is chosen, a name may need to be given to it see: [[Wikipedia mascot/name]]

'''Suggested mascots'''
This is [[en:Approval voting]] so you can add your name next to as many choices as you want.

===Alphabetical order===
Please keep entries in alphabetical order so that people can easily find and refer to potential mascots. Please do not add new options unless you get them seconded by one other Wikipedian. The current options are:

# amoeba
# Amorphous blob
# [[en:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]]
# beaver
# [[en:Bob Dole|Bob Dole]]
# centipede
# [[en:Clifford Clavin|Clifford Clavin]]
# coyote

# stick insect
# Tardigrade / Tardígrado
# termites

# Weasel
# [[Wikipedia_mascot#Wikipe-tan|Wikipe-tan]]

===Amoeba===
*Support: <strong>2</strong> [[User:Torombol|Torombol]] --
[[User:Ola_H|Ola_H]] --

*Rationale: I don't know if it's being used by another GNU project, but I really like an amoeba for mascot. It is chaotic, it is growing, becoming something that nobody could know cooperating with other amoebas, it could be infectious, curious and very social.

*Image: I don't have it, but I will like an amoeba with glasses.

"Please do not add new options unless you get them seconded by one other Wikipedian." Sorry for not following the instructions.

===Amorphous blob===
*"Wikipedia", the Amorphous blob!

*Support: [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

===Anglerfish===
* I think the mascot should be one of those tripped-out deepsea fish with the glowing ball of light. Wiki the [[en:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]], bringing light to the depths of the vast ocean of human knowledge. Yah, thatd be tite. [[User:Lir]]

Original concept by Jay Bowks ([[User:ILVI]]) [http://www.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-February/009183.html on the wikipedia mailing list] (recognise the "W" shape):
[[User:Holycharly|Holycharly]] 14:13, 8 September 2005 (UTC) - we French froggies had the same in the eighties at TV #2 (Antenne 2) which was a silly centipede that continuously lost its spherical components (it was a mongrel of 1000 of them). Liked it. -- [[User:LifeMega|LifeMega]] 19:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC) I love the Wikipede. The name sounds like [[Wikipedian]], and the many arms represent the many people contributing.
[[en:User:Nahallac Silverwinds|Naha]] Great play on words! It has so much personality and potential. It jumps right off the page! Owls and monkeys are already way overused as logos around the world. The ant just seems too plain. Lets be different!

*Images - [http://pmo.umext.maine.edu/ipddl/centipede.jpg], [http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/uniramia/centipede.gif], [http://www.insectsafari.com/insectid/newimages/centipede.jpg], , [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer%3AElian Elian's] version, [[w:Image:wikipedesketch1.png]], [[Image talk:wikipedia_mascot_matte.png|another alternate version]]

*Rationale: legs co-operate, great (disarmingly cute) images. Controversial (not Disneyish). Very agile and can bend this way or that to get past obstacles. Centipedes will fight off bigger insects or spiders, will decimate cockroaches. Millipedes can roll themselves into a tight little ball when threatened and avoid injury and at times roll speedily away from danger. "wikipede" is a nice pun.

*Problems: negative/creepy connotations for some (see images above) - drawings are good though. Do they co-operate enough? Name "Wikipede" hard to internationalise.

===Chick coming out of a Wikipedia Jigsaw Egg ===

The chicken would be coming out of an egg (that is made out of the jigsaw puzzle pieces of the Wikipedia Globe). It shows how nice cute and tender Wikipedia is... And the growth that lies ahead and reminds us of the chicken and egg problem.... The Wikipedia was born first or the Wikipedians ;-) [[User:SudarshanP|SudarshanP]] 16:40, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

:This is a mockup of a mascot for Wikipedia or Wikidata. Part of the image is derived from [http://www.gocollect.com/product_display/products/display_product.asp?image=/images/LooneyTunes/300/985009.jpg] . Someone with good artistic skill can improve on this "theme" to make it completely legal. Apart from being a candidate for Wikipedia Mascot... I think it could be a candidate for the logo of [[Wikidata]] or Semantic Wikipedia. The Wikipedians construct the Jigsaw Egg(Wikipedia), piece by piece, it hatches and out comes the Semantic Wikipedia(Wikidata). It represents the '''birth''' of something much more than what went into it. [[User:SudarshanP|SudarshanP]] 18:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

'''Comment'''

===Coyote===

*Support: [[User:Calliope|Calliope]]

*Rationale: Coyotes are ''curious'' (will investigate human activity when they roam into residential areas); ''controversial'' (farmers and ranchers tend to hate them but other people like them); ''growing'' (the range of coyote territory has expanded greatly in recent years and keeps expanding); ''cooperative'' (in the way they raise pups and hunt together to bring down animals they couldn't kill alone); ''ambitious'' in their search for food and in tackling animals much larger than themselves; and ''social'' in the way they vocalize to communicate with other coyotes and travel in packs. (You could also call them infectious, but coyotes don't get rabies as often as domestic dogs.) And yes, coyotes are very cute and good to draw.

It would be better if there're more sketches.) -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick]] (like the ants, this is touch and go; hardworking but also drones and hoarders) -- [[User:Cjmnyc|Cjmnyc]] --

*Rationale: Work cooperatively, have a Queen (Jimbo rules!), collect nectar (collect info), take that back to the hive, and turn that into honey (articles). Very positive symbol. Wikipedia resembles a humming hive of busy workers making something beautiful (honey=free quality information resource). Bees communicate well with each other, and there is some evidence that they work with a type of collective intelligence. The nectar collection also pollinates flowers so that they can reproduce. See [[en:Honeybee]], [http://www.this-magic-sea.com/IMAGES/BEE.GIF], [http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/kkhp/1insects/bugpix/beepolen.JPEG]

But, of course, whatever we choose is likely to be ''somewhere'' else. 'Twas just that this one happens to be one of my favourite sites :) -- [[User:Sannse|sannse]] 18:57 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)

** Wheaton is just using the old idea of an infinite number of monkeys working at an infinite number of typewriters banging out a copy of ''Hamlet''. It's used many places. -- [[User:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]]

''There used to be a monkey logo at [[Logo suggestions--humorous logos]], however the images were stored offsite and have vanished.''

:That one, along with most of the others, are back. If anyone has copies of the missing ones, please upload them.

I agree strongly with the symbols evocked higher, but this would be so fun I cannont resist to be pro [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur%3AJul Jul]

If the monkey is chosen, it would look best typing with its feet! Not only would it be funny (even funnier than a regular old monkey), it would be a good reason for explaining why Wikipedia isn't perfect.

I think that the monkeys working on it would be a definite show of the collaboration in the process of creating the wikipedia. Of course, thousands of monkeys, in addition to writing shakespeare also produce a fair amount of [[Davey Havok|crap]]. I don't really like the idea of having a mascot at all; I feel a photograph, such as the one given, would be better. It would function as a graphic illustrating the wikipedia, not some kind of cutesy mascot that makes it look unprofessional.

Choosing the monkey behind a typewriter as a mascot means a certain amount of self irony and distance to yourself and what you are doing. I like it. /[[User:Habj|Habj]] 22:01, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*The octopus has a soft body with a well-developed brain, similar to a human's. It is known to be very intelligent.[ Analogy- wikipedia- amorphous/ undefined/ ambiguous body and intelligent mind]

*Octopi hunt primarily at night or on dark dreary days, thus this is the best time to see them out and about[Analogy- wikipedians? moonlighting [ I think that's what Westerners call working on alternate job at night?]

*The octopus seizes its prey with its eight long arms. These arms bear two rows of suckers each. The hundreds of suckers that line their arms help the octopus to hold on to almost anything.[ Analogy- no explanations necessary- wikipedians grab on to lots of info and there is no corner unreached, second important reason why I suggested this mascot]

*Octopus head= wikipedia, tentacles= wikipedians.If an octopus loses one of its tentacles, it will soon grow another one in the same place.[ Analogy- most important reason why I chose octopus for wikipedia- bad users are banned- new ones are taken in, good ones are retained... and so on- there is an element of regeneration and constant renewal, and the idea of the whole being more than [and more important than] the sum of its parts]

*minus points- is there an element of cruelty in the catching of prey and tentacles?

my opinion:
No! If the tentacles are the members, then we members are sucking up information! We are the tentacles catching the prey, knowledge!--[[User:65.172.213.123|65.172.213.123]] 16:44, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

*Octopus is like a spider. Google is using a spider. Spider collects information and octopus could do the same. But Wikipedia's mascot shouldn't be spider coz it's already used idea.

Will work on a graphic for the above, an octopus will look cute abstracted [[User:KRS|KRS]]

===Otter===
*Rationale: There are several species, but perhaps freshwater (river) otters might be the best choice. They embody all of the qualities listed above with perhaps special emphasis on playful and curious. The appearance and behavior is appealing at least to humans and other otters, and though rather incompatible with an orderly environment due to their playfulness and curiosity, they are not known to be vicious, hostile, or agressive. Regrettably, unlike centipedes or milipedes, they have only a few feet, thus not stressing the "...pedia" aspect of Wikipedia. Perhaps this could be remedied by adopting an appropriate name, eg Pede, the Otter? Public domain images, a la those used by O'Reilly Publishers for their covers might be appropriate, or perhaps a cartoon akin in spirit to that used for Tux (the Linux mascot) would be better. Artists are invited to have a go. The aspect to be emphasized in such a cartoon otter is a impish curiosity, with perhaps a touch of satisfaction at recent excellent meal of insufficiently quick fish or newly found understanding.

* Sibyl is almost as nerdishly obscure as Pythia, but due to my familiarity with the unsavory character "Sibil" in [[en:Jack_Vance|Jack Vance]]'s book ''Araminta Station'', I would not like "Sybil" as the mascot. The name "Cassandra" is too commonly used. [[User:JWSchmidt|JWSurf]] 19:27, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
* Unfortunately, these two names have been brought into the mainstream by J.K. Rowling: Sybil Trelawney is the Hogwarts Divination teacher, and Cassandra was her famous clairvoyant great-grandmother. [[User:The Noodle Incident]]

===La Serpiente===
<div style="float:left; padding:15pt;">
http://es.wikipedia.org/upload/d/d1/WIKI.jpg
</div>
El movimiento forma parte de la energía y de lo más íntimo de la materia: El movimiento es la energía y la materia.

Todas las capacidades y expectativas del conocimiento humano permanecen ligadas a la idea de movimiento.

La mascota que sugiero es la serpiente que mira una onda senoidal que representa el movimiento y al mismo tiempo la representa a ella misma.

Además la serpiente es femenina, como se intuye el futuro, y está estrechamente ligada al pasado del conocimiento de la humanidad (El Edén, Egipto, la medicina...)

En la representación, la fusión de la serpiente con los ejes cartesianos sugiere la unión entre las líneas rectas y curvas, la cruz y la luna, es decir la herencia del conocimiento de occidente unido con la de oriente.

please, if you´re able translate this into english, thanks, the author

[Here the translation into English]

Serpent, movement is part of the energy and most intimately of the matter: The movement is the energy and the matter.

All the capacities and expectations of the human knowledge remain bound to the movement idea.

The mascot that I suggest is the serpent that watches a sine wave that represents the movement and at the same time it represents herself.

In addition the serpent is feminine [in some cultures: note of the translator], as it is intuited the future, and closely is bound to the past of knowledge of humanity (Eden, Egypt, medicine...)

In the representation, the fusion of the serpent with the cartesian axes suggests the union between the straight and curved lines, the cross and the moon, meaning the inheritance of the knowledge of the West united with the one of east.

===Mustard tree===

* '''Weak support:''' [[user:zanimum]]

<h3>Comments</h3>
* Wikipedia should '''not''' be referred with '''any animal''', because it is not a computer programme processing data as MySQL or Linux. Therefore instread of fauna, it should be part of flora, because it is data more than just a programme processing data. -- [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

** I don't get your point. Programs use animals, so projects and organizations shouldn't? -- [[user:zanimum]]

* The second problem is, that if Wikipedia is animal, it could become in some circumtances be an unacceptable animal like pig (for exampe one of Walt Disney's three little pigs http://www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/pigs/mstory.htm ) in Jewish or Moslem cultures. A red cross and red half moon are examples of the risk. -- [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

** Exactly why the centipede, in the lead in terms of votes, is beyond being simply a deplorable choice. It's an equal opportunity turn off. While no religion or culture is offended by the tree, mustard gas started all the chemical warfare that's killed many thousands internationally. -- [[user:zanimum]]

* How exactly is a mustard tree identifiable iconicly, versus a spruce or apple? If it simply looks like a tree, then the uninformed won't have a clue to the reasoning behind it, no matter how sound. -- [[user:zanimum]]

* '''Wikipedism is a belief in rationality and it is neo-encyclopedism''' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedism
** What? People have based their personal spirituality on Wikipedia? -- [[user:zanimum]]

* Luke 17:5 (NIV) The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."
** Bible or any religious reasoning = ignoring other cultural groups. -- [[user:zanimum]]

*Rationale: Termites are co-operative animals. In some ways we are like them in our work on the House of Intellectual Property. They are so maligned that there is little chance that anyone has chosen them as a mascot before.

***Oh sure, termites are ''tremendous'' builders, but that's not commonly associated with them. I simply said they're ''known'' as destroyers.

<translate>
'''Special pages''' are [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Creating a page on the fly</tvar>|created by the software on demand]]. They are located in the "<tvar name="2">Special:</tvar>" [[<tvar name="3">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespace</tvar>|namespace]] and have no corresponding wikitext. An automatic list of most special pages is available by the <tvar name="4">[[Special:Specialpages|{{int:specialpages}}]]</tvar> link on every wiki page.
</translate>
<translate>Below is an arranged list of special pages available on most [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia movement</tvar>|Wikimedia]] projects. Page names are case-insensitive; their default names were converted from capitalized lowercase to [[w:CamelCase|CamelCase]] in March 2008.</translate>
<translate>
For many special pages the option <tvar name="1">[[Special:Preferences|{{int:mypreferences}}]]</tvar> → <tvar name="2">{{int:recentchanges}}</tvar> → "<tvar name="3">{{int:recentchangescount}}</tvar>" determines the number of titles per page.

== Lists==

=== All pages ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Allpages|{{int:allpages}}]]''' <small>(Allpages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Prefixindex|{{int:prefixindex}}]]''' <small>(Prefixindex)</small>
<translate>
MediaWiki searches all pages in a specified group of names in a special [[w:ASCII#Order|ASCII order]]. Capitals come before lowercase letters; special characters, such as <tvar name="1">''é''</tvar>, come after <tvar name="2">''z''</tvar>.

MediaWiki searches include redirects (for example: <tvar name="1"><nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Page name]]</nowiki></tvar>). These redirects are usually displayed in a different style than normal pages because of <tvar name="2"><code>allpagesredirect</code></tvar> class.

If a person uses "<tvar name="1">{{int:allpagesfrom}}</tvar>" to search, both <tvar name="2">[[Special:Prefixindex]]</tvar> and <tvar name="3">[[Special:Allpages]]</tvar> will show the list of pages starting with this word, then Allpages will display all of the other pages in ASCII order which don't have this word.

For example, if a person types in "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in the "<tvar name="2">{{int:allpagesfrom}}</tvar>" box on the <tvar name="3">[[Special:AllPages]]</tvar> page, MediaWiki will first list all pages that start with the word "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>":
</translate>
* Computer
* Computer-Aided Design
* Computer-Aided Test Tool
* ComputerWorld Smithsonian Award
<translate>
MediaWiki will then list all of the other pages that don't start with "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in [[en:ASCII#Order|ASCII order]].

=== Protected ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Protectedpages|{{int:protectedpages}}]]''' <small>(Protectedpages)</small> — <translate>pages [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Protection</tvar>|protected]] from editing</translate>
* '''[[Special:Protectedtitles|{{int:protectedtitles}}]]''' <small>(Protectedtitles)</small> — <translate>titles protected from creation. This feature replaced cascading protection hack. Titles can be also protected by mask with <tvar name="1">[[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]]</tvar>.</translate>
<translate>
=== Categories ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Categories|{{int:categories}}]]''' <small>(Categories)</small>
: <translate>List of all [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Category</tvar>|categories]], alphabetically ordered, showing the number of top elements in each category. Not very convenient, so many projects create index pages like [[w:Wikipedia:Contents/Categories]].</translate>
* '''[[Special:CategoryTree|Category Tree]]''' <small>(Categorytree)</small>
: <translate>The tree of pages and subcategories, using [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CategoryTree</tvar>|Extension:CategoryTree]]. The same tree functionality is used on categories pages, and can be inserted into any page with <tvar name="2">{{tag|categorytree|open}}</tvar> tag.</translate>
<translate>
=== Images ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Imagelist|{{int:imagelist}}]]''' <small>(Imagelist)</small>
: <translate>List of uploaded files with descriptions, can be sorted by date, name or size.</translate>
* '''[[Special:Newimages|{{int:newimages}}]]''' <small>(Newimages)</small>
: <translate>Gallery of uploaded files with thumbnails, sorted by upload date.</translate>
<translate>
== Cached lists ==

All these lists are updated periodically (not in real time). They say "The following data is cached" and show the day of the last update.
</translate>
<translate>
All these lists are limited to 5000 titles, on several large Wikimedia projects to 1000 titles.

=== Record pages ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Listredirects|{{int:listredirects}}]]''' <small>(Listredirects)</small>
: <translate>List of first 500/1000 [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirect</tvar>|redirects]], ordered by creation date.</translate>
* '''[[Special:Mostlinkedtemplates|{{int:mostlinkedtemplates}}]]''' <small>(Mostlinkedtemplates)</small>
* '''[[Special:Mostimages|{{int:mostimages}}]]''' <small>(Mostimages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Mostlinkedcategories|{{int:mostlinkedcategories}}]]''' <small>(Mostlinkedcategories)</small>
<translate>
These lists only show main namespace pages:
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Mostcategories|{{int:mostcategories}}]]''' <small>(Mostcategories)</small>
* '''[[Special:Shortpages|{{int:shortpages}}]]''' <small>(Shortpages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Longpages|{{int:longpages}}]]''' <small>(Longpages)</small>
<translate>
The following lists are no longer updated in Wikimedia projects due to big server load:
</translate>
* '''<s>[[Special:Mostlinked|{{int:mostlinked}}]]</s>''' <small>(Mostlinked)</small>
* '''<s>[[Special:Ancientpages|{{int:ancientpages}}]]</s>''' <small>(Ancientpages)</small>
* '''<s>[[Special:Fewestrevisions|{{int:fewestrevisions}}]]</s>''' <small>(Fewestrevisions)</small>
* '''<s>[[Special:Mostrevisions|{{int:mostrevisions}}]]</s>''' <small>(Mostrevisions)</small>
<translate>
=== Problematic ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:BrokenRedirects|{{int:brokenredirects}}]]''' <small>(BrokenRedirects)</small>
: <translate>Redirects to non-existent pages, usually left after deletions. Periodically fixed or deleted by administrators.</translate>

* '''[[Special:DoubleRedirects|{{int:doubleredirects}}]]''' <small>(DoubleRedirects)</small>
: <translate>Redirects to other redirects. May contain false positives. Double redirects are fixed by [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Bot</tvar>|bots]] in many projects.</translate>

* '''[[Special:Lonelypages|{{int:lonelypages}}]]''' <small>(Lonelypages)</small>
: <translate>Main namespace pages with no links to them in the wiki.</translate>

* '''[[Special:Deadendpages|{{int:deadendpages}}]]''' <small>(Deadendpages)</small>

: <translate>Main namespace pages without [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Interwiki linking#Interlanguage links</tvar>|Interlanguage links]].</translate>

* '''[[Special:Wantedcategories|{{int:wantedcategories}}]]''' <small>(Wantedcategories)</small>
: <translate>Non-existent categories used on wiki pages. These should either be created (by adding category description and upper categories) or those wiki pages should be fixed (e.g. if someone mistyped a category name).</translate>
* '''[[Special:Wantedpages|{{int:wantedpages}}]]''' <small>(Wantedpages)</small>
: <translate>List of non-existing pages with the most links to them, excluding pages which only have redirects linking to them.</translate>
<translate>

=== Without categories ===

Usually these pages need to be either categorized or deleted.
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Uncategorizedpages|{{int:uncategorizedpages}}]]''' <small>(Uncategorizedpages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Uncategorizedcategories|{{int:uncategorizedcategories}}]]''' <small>(Uncategorizedcategories)</small>

<translate>
== Links to special pages ==
</translate>
{{anchor|Miscellaneous}} 
<translate>
Special pages can be linked to as usual, like <tvar name="1">[[Special:Recentchanges]]</tvar>. Instead of "<tvar name="2">special</tvar>" prefix, a localized namespace name can be used, e.g. "<tvar name="3">Speciaal</tvar>" in Dutch, "<tvar name="4">Spezial</tvar>" in German, "<tvar name="5">Speciális</tvar>" in Hungarian and "<tvar name="6">מיוחד</tvar>" in Hebrew. The localized name also appears in the [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:URL</tvar>|URLs]].

Redirects to special pages have been disabled because of their complications.

Some special pages accept (and some require) a parameter after <tvar name="1"><code>/</code></tvar>. For other pages and parameters the full URL has to be given, for example <tvar name="2">{{SERVER}}/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=10</tvar> (last 10 changes).
</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Allpages</code></tvar> and <tvar name="2"><code>Prefixindex</code></tvar> allow a namespace and a (partial) pagename, for example:</translate>
:* [[Special:Allpages/Template:Z]] — <translate>all templates starting with "<tvar name="1">Z</tvar>" and all templates after that.</translate>
:* [[Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/]] — <translate>all [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Subpages</tvar>|subpages]] of user <tvar name="2">Example</tvar>; this is the most popular usage of <tvar name="3">PrefixIndex</tvar>.</translate>
: <translate>Besides, these special pages can be [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Transclusion</tvar>|transcluded]] into wikitext, so the result appears as the part of the page, e.g. <tvar name="2"><code><nowiki>{{Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/}}</nowiki></code></tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Whatlinkshere</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Recentchangeslinked</code></tvar>, <tvar name="3"><code>Movepage</code></tvar>, <tvar name="4"><code>Undelete</code></tvar>, <tvar name="5"><code>Contributions</code></tvar> and <tvar name="6"><code>Blockip</code></tvar>, being interface links, accept (or even require) a page or a user name, e.g. <tvar name="7">[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Special page]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Search</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Linksearch</code></tvar> and <tvar name="3"><code>MIMEsearch</code></tvar> accept search value, e.g. <tvar name="4">[[Special:Search/word]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Listusers</code></tvar> can be used with a group name: <tvar name="2">sysop</tvar>, <tvar name="3">bot</tvar>, <tvar name="4">bureaucrat</tvar>, <tvar name="5">checkuser</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">[[Special:Listusers/bot]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Log</code></tvar> can be used with a log type: <tvar name="2">move</tvar>, <tvar name="3">protect</tvar>, <tvar name="4">block</tvar>, <tvar name="5">delete</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">[[Special:Log/move]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Random</code></tvar> and <tvar name="2"><code>Randomredirect</code></tvar> accept namespace (see [[<tvar name="3">#Random</tvar>|above]]).</translate>
<translate>
Two special pages <tvar name="1">'''[[Special:Mypage|Mypage]]'''</tvar> and <tvar name="2">'''[[Special:Mytalk|Mytalk]]'''</tvar> exist specially for internal links, they redirect to the pages of a user who follows these links. Examples: <tvar name="3">[[Special:Mypage]]</tvar>, <tvar name="4">[[Special:Mypage/common.js]]</tvar>.

== Transclusion ==
</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Recentchanges</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Newpages</code></tvar>, <tvar name="3"><code>Newimages</code></tvar> and <tvar name="4"><code>OldReviewedPages</code></tvar> can be transcluded:</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/shownav}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>show with header</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/10}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>show 10 elements</translate>

[[Special:Log]] - <translate>combined display of various logs. You can narrow down the view by:</translate>
* <translate>selecting a log type, including:</translate>
** [[Special:Log/block|{{int:blockpage}}]] - <translate>blocks and unblocks</translate>
** [[Special:Log/delete|{{int:dellogpage}}]] - <translate>deleted and undeleted pages</translate>
** [[Special:Log/protect|{{int:protectlogpage}}]] - <translate>protected and unprotected pages</translate>
** [[Special:Log/upload|{{int:uploadlogpage}}]] - <translate>list of images uploaded</translate>
* <translate>entering the full name without prefix of the acting user (usual case-sensitivity)</translate>
* <translate>entering the full name of the affected page (usual case-sensitivity) e.g. "<tvar name="1">File:Map South Holland.png</tvar>"), or the full name including prefix of the affected user (in the case of blocking, setting user rights, setting bot status, and user creation) or without prefix (in the case of renaming a user)</translate>
<translate>
It does not seem possible to search by editor for edits of deleted pages. They can only be seen by a sysop with Special:Undelete if the exact page name is known.

There are no logs available on the site for:
</translate>
* <translate>adding or removing a page from a user's list of page to watch (the user can only view the current state)</translate>
* <translate>change of preferences of a user (ditto)</translate>
* <translate>viewing a page (except that, if <tvar name="1">[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgDisableCounters|$wgDisableCounters]]</tvar> is <tvar name="2"><code>false</code></tvar>, the total number of views of a page is displayed on it)</translate>
* <translate>editing and previewing a page without saving</translate>
* <translate>applying <tvar name="1">[[Special:ExpandTemplates]]</tvar></translate>
* <translate>applying <tvar name="1">[[Special:Export]]</tvar></translate>
* <translate>unfinished operations (e.g. an attempted page move)</translate>
<translate>
It is possible to add other events to the logs; for an example, see the code for [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalBlocking</tvar>|Extension:GlobalBlocking]] or for <tvar name="2">[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Article.php|Article.php]]</tvar>.

== Help:Special page ==

{{help-meta}}
----
"Special pages" are pages which are automatically generated by the [[MediaWiki]] software which runs Wiktionary. They all have names beginning with "'''Special:'''" and thus can be linked to from any user page, talk page, or page in the ''Wiktionary:'' [[Help:Namespace|namespace]], by using internal links of the form:
:<nowiki>[[Special:</nowiki>''pagename'']]
Special pages should not be linked to from the dictionary entries in the main namespace.

A list of (almost) all available special pages can be found at [[Special:Specialpages]]. These pages cannot be directly edited by users; if you have a comment or suggestion about a special page, you should post it to [[Wiktionary talk:Special pages|this talk page]].

In the following list the long form of each special page name is followed by the short form used in links (shown as ''pagename'' in the above example).

This page is for the announcement of milestones on the [[Wikimedia projects]]. If you want to make such an announcement, please post it here and translate it if you can.

Recommended '''article-count milestones''' are 100, 500, 1k (1,000), 2k, 5k, then 5k increments to 20k, 10k increments to 100k, 50k increments to 200k, 100k increments to 1M (1,000,000), 500k increments to 2M, and 1M increments to 10M. Article (or content-page) counts should reflect the counts seen at each wiki's [[Special:Statistics]] page, which are based on [[mw:Manual:Article count|what MediaWiki sees as constituting an article]]. Other milestones, such as page edits, registered users or featured articles, can also be announced here, but typically only the powers-of-ten levels of these statistics are considered significant enough to announce.

'''[[Wikimedia Forum]]''' provides a place for general discussion.

* [[Wikinews]] ends the year with 1,734,078 articles in 34 languages, which constitutes a 215% increase in articles over the past year (mostly due to mass-creation of articles by bots in the [[n:ru:|Russian Wikinews]], which ramped up considerably in late 2020 and slowed again in mid 2021).
* [[Wikiversity]] ends the year with 135,538 learning modules in 54 languages (comprising 132,232 modules in 17 separate language wikis and an additional 3,306 modules in 37 languages [[betawikiversity:States of Wikiversities|at Wikiversity Beta]]), which constitutes a 6% increase in learning modules over the past year.

* There were 18 content wikis [[incubator:Incubator:Site creation log#2021|created in 2021]] (9 Wikipedias, 6 Wiktionaries, 2 Wikisources, and 1 Wikivoyage); this is 4 more than were created in 2020.
* One content wiki was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Northern Luri Wikipedia|emptied and closed (locked)]] in 2021 (the [[:lrc:|Northern Luri Wikipedia]]).
:: <small>''Note:'' The article counts listed above are actual counts collected in the last 5 minutes of 2021-12-31 (UTC).

== Projects by number of content pages ==
The tables below are arranged chronologically by the original launch dates of the major content projects, within two main groups: "[[Help:Interlanguage links|interlingual]]" projects (different wiki for each language) followed by "multilingual" projects (all languages on the same wiki). The older [[:en:Wikimedia Foundation#Wikimedia projects|Wikimedia projects]] (such as Wikipedia) tend to be larger than the newer ones, but note that these tables are ''not'' arranged by number of sub-wikis nor by total article count (across all languages).

For the interlingual projects, ''within'' each table the individual language editions are arranged by milestone level, and then chronologically by the date the milestones were first reached.

:<small>''Note:'' You can go directly to the table for [[#Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[#Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], [[#Wikiquote|Wikiquote]], [[#Wikibooks|Wikibooks]], [[#Wikisource|Wikisource]], [[#Wikinews|Wikinews]], [[#Wikiversity|Wikiversity]], [[#Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]], [[#Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]], [[#Wikispecies|Wikispecies]], or [[#Wikidata|Wikidata]].</small>

[[en:Linux|Linux]] has the [[en:Tux (mascot)|penguin]]. [[en:MySQL|MySQL]] has the dolphin. O'Reilly has a whole zoo. Every successful open source / open content project seems to have a mascot - should [[Wikipedia]] have a mascot in addition to the logo?

==No mascot, please!==
''If you don't want a mascot''

Is wikipedia represented by the logo, by the mascot, by the word itself, by the square quotes...? Stick to one brand and utilise that to it's full potential.) --[[User:Buxul|Buxul]] the square quotes and a logo are enough -- [[User:Gutza|Gutza]] (see Paullusmagnus, plus: Why?

*I think a mascot would take away from the beauty of the Wikipedia logo. [[User:Jade Knight|The Jade Knight]] 23:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved out: <s>[[User:Sverdrup|Sverdrup]] (Symbols are better, esp with the international nature of Wikipedia in though)</s> Redecided, I want a mascot [[User:Sverdrup|✏ Sverdrup]] 15:05, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Some rationales from the above voters:

* The Wikipedia logo already beautifully conveys the earth itself, and diverse human cultures around the globe, as the "mascot" of Wikipedia. A different mascot would compete with the logo and dilute the value of the Wikipedia brand.
* All, or nearly all, open-source mascots look very amateurish. So do all the mascots below as of this writing. Granted, Wikipedia editors are mostly amateurs, but openly embracing amateur content decreases the value of the brand. Some editors (including me) would be less likely to contribute to the project if we're going to brand ourselves with a mascot that shouts "amateurville". ([[User:Tempshill2|Tempshill2]] 18:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC))

==Mascot, please!==
''If you want a mascot.''

It could be used in the [[Logo suggestions|logo]], printed on [[Wikipedia T-shirts|T-shirts]] or kept as a housepet. But what should it be? A [[en:fish|fish]], a [[en:bird|bird]], an [[en:insect|insect]], a [[en:mammal|mammal]], a [[en:reptile|reptile]], a [[en:virus|virus]]? This page is for collecting ideas. At any time, feel free to express your support for a particular mascot by putting your name under it.

It would probably be nice if the mascot somehow represented the [[en:Wikipedia:Self-references spirit | spirit]] of Wikipedia, e.g.:
* social
* massively cooperative
* controversial
* chaotic
* growing
* ambitious
* infectious
* curious

'''Mascot Name'''
Once the mascot is chosen, a name may need to be given to it see: [[Wikipedia mascot/name]]

'''Suggested mascots'''
This is [[en:Approval voting]] so you can add your name next to as many choices as you want.

===Alphabetical order===
Please keep entries in alphabetical order so that people can easily find and refer to potential mascots. Please do not add new options unless you get them seconded by one other Wikipedian. The current options are:

# amoeba
# Amorphous blob
# [[en:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]]
# beaver
# [[en:Bob Dole|Bob Dole]]
# centipede
# [[en:Clifford Clavin|Clifford Clavin]]
# coyote
# honeybees
# leafcutter ants
# meerkat
# mice
# monkey with typewriter
# octopus
# otter
# owl
# platypus
# puzzle piece
# [[Wikipedia_mascot#Pythia|Pythia]]
# sand puppy
# serpiente
# slime mold
# stick insect
# Tardigrade / Tardígrado
# termites
# [[en:The_Thinker|The_Thinker]]
# Weasel
# [[Wikipedia_mascot#Wikipe-tan|Wikipe-tan]]

===Amoeba===
*Support: <strong>2</strong> [[User:Torombol|Torombol]] --
[[User:Ola_H|Ola_H]] --

*Rationale: I don't know if it's being used by another GNU project, but I really like an amoeba for mascot. It is chaotic, it is growing, becoming something that nobody could know cooperating with other amoebas, it could be infectious, curious and very social.

*Image: I don't have it, but I will like an amoeba with glasses.

"Please do not add new options unless you get them seconded by one other Wikipedian." Sorry for not following the instructions.

===Amorphous blob===
*"Wikipedia", the Amorphous blob!

*Support: [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

===Anglerfish===
* I think the mascot should be one of those tripped-out deepsea fish with the glowing ball of light. Wiki the [[en:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]], bringing light to the depths of the vast ocean of human knowledge. Yah, thatd be tite. [[User:Lir]]

*Image ideas: [http://www.travelandrvcanada.com/traveland/inventory/Beaver_logo.jpg], [http://www.canadianmoose.com/images/CMAP1-aa_Roots_ Beaver_logo.gif]

*Rationale:
** build dams, sociable, beneficial to the environment, instrumental in creating habitats for many aquatic organisms, maintaining the water table at an appropriate level and controlling flooding and erosion, nocturnal, extremely productive (like us)

*Problems:

Original concept by Jay Bowks ([[User:ILVI]]) [http://www.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-February/009183.html on the wikipedia mailing list] (recognise the "W" shape):
[[User:Holycharly|Holycharly]] 14:13, 8 September 2005 (UTC) - we French froggies had the same in the eighties at TV #2 (Antenne 2) which was a silly centipede that continuously lost its spherical components (it was a mongrel of 1000 of them). Liked it. -- [[User:LifeMega|LifeMega]] 19:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC) I love the Wikipede. The name sounds like [[Wikipedian]], and the many arms represent the many people contributing.
[[en:User:Nahallac Silverwinds|Naha]] Great play on words! It has so much personality and potential. It jumps right off the page! Owls and monkeys are already way overused as logos around the world. The ant just seems too plain. Lets be different!

*Images - [http://pmo.umext.maine.edu/ipddl/centipede.jpg], [http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/uniramia/centipede.gif], [http://www.insectsafari.com/insectid/newimages/centipede.jpg], , [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer%3AElian Elian's] version, [[w:Image:wikipedesketch1.png]], [[Image talk:wikipedia_mascot_matte.png|another alternate version]]

*Rationale: legs co-operate, great (disarmingly cute) images. Controversial (not Disneyish). Very agile and can bend this way or that to get past obstacles. Centipedes will fight off bigger insects or spiders, will decimate cockroaches. Millipedes can roll themselves into a tight little ball when threatened and avoid injury and at times roll speedily away from danger. "wikipede" is a nice pun.

*Problems: negative/creepy connotations for some (see images above) - drawings are good though. Do they co-operate enough? Name "Wikipede" hard to internationalise.

===Chick coming out of a Wikipedia Jigsaw Egg ===

The chicken would be coming out of an egg (that is made out of the jigsaw puzzle pieces of the Wikipedia Globe). It shows how nice cute and tender Wikipedia is... And the growth that lies ahead and reminds us of the chicken and egg problem.... The Wikipedia was born first or the Wikipedians ;-) [[User:SudarshanP|SudarshanP]] 16:40, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

:This is a mockup of a mascot for Wikipedia or Wikidata. Part of the image is derived from [http://www.gocollect.com/product_display/products/display_product.asp?image=/images/LooneyTunes/300/985009.jpg] . Someone with good artistic skill can improve on this "theme" to make it completely legal. Apart from being a candidate for Wikipedia Mascot... I think it could be a candidate for the logo of [[Wikidata]] or Semantic Wikipedia. The Wikipedians construct the Jigsaw Egg(Wikipedia), piece by piece, it hatches and out comes the Semantic Wikipedia(Wikidata). It represents the '''birth''' of something much more than what went into it. [[User:SudarshanP|SudarshanP]] 18:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

'''Comment'''
I like the idea, but the chick would have to be redrawn to look a lot less like tweety pie before I could fully support. [[User:81.109.242.195|81.109.242.195]] 22:23, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

===Coyote===

*Support: [[User:Calliope|Calliope]]

*Rationale: Coyotes are ''curious'' (will investigate human activity when they roam into residential areas); ''controversial'' (farmers and ranchers tend to hate them but other people like them); ''growing'' (the range of coyote territory has expanded greatly in recent years and keeps expanding); ''cooperative'' (in the way they raise pups and hunt together to bring down animals they couldn't kill alone); ''ambitious'' in their search for food and in tackling animals much larger than themselves; and ''social'' in the way they vocalize to communicate with other coyotes and travel in packs. (You could also call them infectious, but coyotes don't get rabies as often as domestic dogs.) And yes, coyotes are very cute and good to draw.

*Rationale: Work cooperatively, have a Queen (Jimbo rules!), collect nectar (collect info), take that back to the hive, and turn that into honey (articles). Very positive symbol. Wikipedia resembles a humming hive of busy workers making something beautiful (honey=free quality information resource). Bees communicate well with each other, and there is some evidence that they work with a type of collective intelligence. The nectar collection also pollinates flowers so that they can reproduce.

** He has actually already endorsed Wikpedia, see [http://www.wilwheaton.net/mt/archives/001116.php here].

*** Sure he has, I originally came to Wikipedia by following that very link! My objection was just on the grounds that it's his site that I think of when I think of monkeys and typewriters.

I agree strongly with the symbols evocked higher, but this would be so fun I cannont resist to be pro [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur%3AJul Jul]

If the monkey is chosen, it would look best typing with its feet! Not only would it be funny (even funnier than a regular old monkey), it would be a good reason for explaining why Wikipedia isn't perfect.

I think that the monkeys working on it would be a definite show of the collaboration in the process of creating the wikipedia. Of course, thousands of monkeys, in addition to writing shakespeare also produce a fair amount of [[Davey Havok|crap]]. I don't really like the idea of having a mascot at all; I feel a photograph, such as the one given, would be better.

*The octopus has a soft body with a well-developed brain, similar to a human's. It is known to be very intelligent.[ Analogy- wikipedia- amorphous/ undefined/ ambiguous body and intelligent mind]

*Octopi hunt primarily at night or on dark dreary days, thus this is the best time to see them out and about[Analogy- wikipedians? moonlighting [ I think that's what Westerners call working on alternate job at night?]

*The octopus seizes its prey with its eight long arms. These arms bear two rows of suckers each. The hundreds of suckers that line their arms help the octopus to hold on to almost anything.[ Analogy- no explanations necessary- wikipedians grab on to lots of info and there is no corner unreached, second important reason why I suggested this mascot]

*Octopus head= wikipedia, tentacles= wikipedians.If an octopus loses one of its tentacles, it will soon grow another one in the same place.[ Analogy- most important reason why I chose octopus for wikipedia- bad users are banned- new ones are taken in, good ones are retained... and so on- there is an element of regeneration and constant renewal, and the idea of the whole being more than [and more important than] the sum of its parts]

*minus points- is there an element of cruelty in the catching of prey and tentacles?

my opinion:
No! If the tentacles are the members, then we members are sucking up information! We are the tentacles catching the prey, knowledge!--[[User:65.172.213.123|65.172.213.123]] 16:44, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

===Otter===
*Rationale: There are several species, but perhaps freshwater (river) otters might be the best choice. They embody all of the qualities listed above with perhaps special emphasis on playful and curious. The appearance and behavior is appealing at least to humans and other otters, and though rather incompatible with an orderly environment due to their playfulness and curiosity, they are not known to be vicious, hostile, or agressive. Regrettably, unlike centipedes or milipedes, they have only a few feet, thus not stressing the "...pedia" aspect of Wikipedia. Perhaps this could be remedied by adopting an appropriate name, eg Pede, the Otter? Public domain images, a la those used by O'Reilly Publishers for their covers might be appropriate, or perhaps a cartoon akin in spirit to that used for Tux (the Linux mascot) would be better. Artists are invited to have a go. The aspect to be emphasized in such a cartoon otter is a impish curiosity, with perhaps a touch of satisfaction at recent excellent meal of insufficiently quick fish or newly found understanding.

<div style="float:left; padding:15pt;">
http://es.wikipedia.org/upload/d/d1/WIKI.jpg
</div>
El movimiento forma parte de la energía y de lo más íntimo de la materia: El movimiento es la energía y la materia.

Todas las capacidades y expectativas del conocimiento humano permanecen ligadas a la idea de movimiento.

La mascota que sugiero es la serpiente que mira una onda senoidal que representa el movimiento y al mismo tiempo la representa a ella misma.

Además la serpiente es femenina, como se intuye el futuro, y está estrechamente ligada al pasado del conocimiento de la humanidad (El Edén, Egipto, la medicina...)

En la representación, la fusión de la serpiente con los ejes cartesianos sugiere la unión entre las líneas rectas y curvas, la cruz y la luna, es decir la herencia del conocimiento de occidente unido con la de oriente.

please, if you´re able translate this into english, thanks, the author

[Here the translation into English]

Serpent, movement is part of the energy and most intimately of the matter: The movement is the energy and the matter.

All the capacities and expectations of the human knowledge remain bound to the movement idea.

The mascot that I suggest is the serpent that watches a sine wave that represents the movement and at the same time it represents herself.

In addition the serpent is feminine [in some cultures: note of the translator], as it is intuited the future, and closely is bound to the past of knowledge of humanity (Eden, Egypt, medicine...)

In the representation, the fusion of the serpent with the cartesian axes suggests the union between the straight and curved lines, the cross and the moon, meaning the inheritance of the knowledge of the West united with the one of east.

*I like it, maybe Wiki-San? But it would make the site seem to anime-ish when Wikipedia holds such a wealth of other things -KomradeKomer
**Nobody's seriously going to give up the Wikipede, but I think maybe the foundation should make Wikipe-tan a ''second'' official mascot. [[User:Ashibaka|Ashibaka]] 01:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Strong Support''' What makes a symbol a good symbol? It has to be something that strongly relates to what it's supposed to represent, something unique enough as to gain recognition when it's encountered, something that evokes emotion, something simple and to the point. I'm no expert but I believe this thing here bests the Wikipede on all three categories and would make for a better ''first'' mascot, not second. [[User:AceMyth|AceMyth]] 02:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
*'''Weak Support''' I like her mostly because she's original. My only problem is that Wikipedia is not focused on anime and the cutesy appearance may relate bad sterotypes into Wikipedia. H2P [[User:192.122.237.11|192.122.237.11]] 17:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

== Specialist page ==

<languages />
{{H:h|Reader toc}}
{{Outdated}}
<translate>
'''Special pages''' are [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Creating a page on the fly</tvar>|created by the software on demand]]. They are located in the "<tvar name="2">Special:</tvar>" [[<tvar name="3">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespace</tvar>|namespace]] and have no corresponding wikitext. An automatic list of most special pages is available by the <tvar name="4">[[Special:Specialpages|{{int:specialpages}}]]</tvar> link on every wiki page.
</translate>
<translate>Below is an arranged list of special pages available on most [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia movement</tvar>|Wikimedia]] projects. Page names are case-insensitive; their default names were converted from capitalized lowercase to [[w:CamelCase|CamelCase]] in March 2008.</translate>
<translate>
For many special pages the option <tvar name="1">[[Special:Preferences|{{int:mypreferences}}]]</tvar> → <tvar name="2">{{int:recentchanges}}</tvar> → "<tvar name="3">{{int:recentchangescount}}</tvar>" determines the number of titles per page.

== Lists==

=== All pages ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Allpages|{{int:allpages}}]]''' <small>(Allpages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Prefixindex|{{int:prefixindex}}]]''' <small>(Prefixindex)</small>
<translate>
MediaWiki searches all pages in a specified group of names in a special [[w:ASCII#Order|ASCII order]]. Capitals come before lowercase letters; special characters, such as <tvar name="1">''é''</tvar>, come after <tvar name="2">''z''</tvar>.

MediaWiki searches include redirects (for example: <tvar name="1"><nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Page name]]</nowiki></tvar>). These redirects are usually displayed in a different style than normal pages because of <tvar name="2"><code>allpagesredirect</code></tvar> class.

If a person uses "<tvar name="1">{{int:allpagesfrom}}</tvar>" to search, both <tvar name="2">[[Special:Prefixindex]]</tvar> and <tvar name="3">[[Special:Allpages]]</tvar> will show the list of pages starting with this word, then Allpages will display all of the other pages in ASCII order which don't have this word.

For example, if a person types in "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in the "<tvar name="2">{{int:allpagesfrom}}</tvar>" box on the <tvar name="3">[[Special:AllPages]]</tvar> page, MediaWiki will first list all pages that start with the word "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>":
</translate>
* Computer
* Computer-Aided Design
* Computer-Aided Test Tool
* ComputerWorld Smithsonian Award
<translate>
MediaWiki will then list all of the other pages that don't start with "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in [[en:ASCII#Order|ASCII order]].

=== Protected ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Protectedpages|{{int:protectedpages}}]]''' <small>(Protectedpages)</small> — <translate>pages [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Protection</tvar>|protected]] from editing</translate>
* '''[[Special:Protectedtitles|{{int:protectedtitles}}]]''' <small>(Protectedtitles)</small> — <translate>titles protected from creation. This feature replaced cascading protection hack. Titles can be also protected by mask with <tvar name="1">[[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]]</tvar>.</translate>
<translate>
=== Categories ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Categories|{{int:categories}}]]''' <small>(Categories)</small>
: <translate>List of all [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Category</tvar>|categories]], alphabetically ordered, showing the number of top elements in each category. Not very convenient, so many projects create index pages like [[w:Wikipedia:Contents/Categories]].</translate>
* '''[[Special:CategoryTree|Category Tree]]''' <small>(Categorytree)</small>
: <translate>The tree of pages and subcategories, using [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CategoryTree</tvar>|Extension:CategoryTree]]. The same tree functionality is used on categories pages, and can be inserted into any page with <tvar name="2">{{tag|categorytree|open}}</tvar> tag.</translate>
<translate>
=== Images ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Imagelist|{{int:imagelist}}]]''' <small>(Imagelist)</small>
: <translate>List of uploaded files with descriptions, can be sorted by date, name or size.</translate>
* '''[[Special:Newimages|{{int:newimages}}]]''' <small>(Newimages)</small>
: <translate>Gallery of uploaded files with thumbnails, sorted by upload date.</translate>
<translate>
== Cached lists ==

All these lists are updated periodically (not in real time). They say "The following data is cached" and show the day of the last update.
</translate>
<translate>
All these lists are limited to 5000 titles, on several large Wikimedia projects to 1000 titles.

=== Record pages ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Listredirects|{{int:listredirects}}]]''' <small>(Listredirects)</small>
: <translate>List of first 500/1000 [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirect</tvar>|redirects]], ordered by creation date.</translate>
* '''[[Special:Mostlinkedtemplates|{{int:mostlinkedtemplates}}]]''' <small>(Mostlinkedtemplates)</small>
* '''[[Special:Mostimages|{{int:mostimages}}]]''' <small>(Mostimages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Mostlinkedcategories|{{int:mostlinkedcategories}}]]''' <small>(Mostlinkedcategories)</small>
<translate>
These lists only show main namespace pages:
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Mostcategories|{{int:mostcategories}}]]''' <small>(Mostcategories)</small>
* '''[[Special:Shortpages|{{int:shortpages}}]]''' <small>(Shortpages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Longpages|{{int:longpages}}]]''' <small>(Longpages)</small>
<translate>
The following lists are no longer updated in Wikimedia projects due to big server load:
</translate>
* '''<s>[[Special:Mostlinked|{{int:mostlinked}}]]</s>''' <small>(Mostlinked)</small>
* '''<s>[[Special:Ancientpages|{{int:ancientpages}}]]</s>''' <small>(Ancientpages)</small>
* '''<s>[[Special:Fewestrevisions|{{int:fewestrevisions}}]]</s>''' <small>(Fewestrevisions)</small>
* '''<s>[[Special:Mostrevisions|{{int:mostrevisions}}]]</s>''' <small>(Mostrevisions)</small>
<translate>
=== Problematic ===
</translate>
* '''[[Special:BrokenRedirects|{{int:brokenredirects}}]]''' <small>(BrokenRedirects)</small>
: <translate>Redirects to non-existent pages, usually left after deletions. Periodically fixed or deleted by administrators.</translate>

* '''[[Special:DoubleRedirects|{{int:doubleredirects}}]]''' <small>(DoubleRedirects)</small>
: <translate>Redirects to other redirects. May contain false positives. Double redirects are fixed by [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Bot</tvar>|bots]] in many projects.</translate>

* '''[[Special:Lonelypages|{{int:lonelypages}}]]''' <small>(Lonelypages)</small>
: <translate>Main namespace pages with no links to them in the wiki.</translate>

* '''[[Special:Deadendpages|{{int:deadendpages}}]]''' <small>(Deadendpages)</small>
: <translate>Main namespace pages without any outgoing internal links.</translate>

* '''[[Special:Withoutinterwiki|{{int:withoutinterwiki}}]]''' <small>(Withoutinterwiki)</small>
: <translate>Main namespace pages without [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Interwiki linking#Interlanguage links</tvar>|Interlanguage links]].</translate>

* '''[[Special:Wantedcategories|{{int:wantedcategories}}]]''' <small>(Wantedcategories)</small>
: <translate>Non-existent categories used on wiki pages. These should either be created (by adding category description and upper categories) or those wiki pages should be fixed (e.g. if someone mistyped a category name).</translate>
* '''[[Special:Wantedpages|{{int:wantedpages}}]]''' <small>(Wantedpages)</small>
: <translate>List of non-existing pages with the most links to them, excluding pages which only have redirects linking to them.</translate>
<translate>

=== Without categories ===

Usually these pages need to be either categorized or deleted.
</translate>
* '''[[Special:Uncategorizedpages|{{int:uncategorizedpages}}]]''' <small>(Uncategorizedpages)</small>
* '''[[Special:Uncategorizedcategories|{{int:uncategorizedcategories}}]]''' <small>(Uncategorizedcategories)</small>

* '''[[Special:Uncategorizedtemplates|{{int:uncategorizedtemplates}}]]''' <small>(Uncategorizedtemplates)</small>

=== Unused ===

If the pages are not used, they probably need to be deleted. Note however that images might be used externally, and templates may be used for substitution.

<translate>
== Links to special pages ==
</translate>
{{anchor|Miscellaneous}} 
<translate>
Special pages can be linked to as usual, like <tvar name="1">[[Special:Recentchanges]]</tvar>. Instead of "<tvar name="2">special</tvar>" prefix, a localized namespace name can be used, e.g. "<tvar name="3">Speciaal</tvar>" in Dutch, "<tvar name="4">Spezial</tvar>" in German, "<tvar name="5">Speciális</tvar>" in Hungarian and "<tvar name="6">מיוחד</tvar>" in Hebrew. The localized name also appears in the [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:URL</tvar>|URLs]].

Redirects to special pages have been disabled because of their complications.

Some special pages accept (and some require) a parameter after <tvar name="1"><code>/</code></tvar>. For other pages and parameters the full URL has to be given, for example <tvar name="2">{{SERVER}}/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=10</tvar> (last 10 changes).
</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Allpages</code></tvar> and <tvar name="2"><code>Prefixindex</code></tvar> allow a namespace and a (partial) pagename, for example:</translate>
:* [[Special:Allpages/Template:Z]] — <translate>all templates starting with "<tvar name="1">Z</tvar>" and all templates after that.</translate>
:* [[Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/]] — <translate>all [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Subpages</tvar>|subpages]] of user <tvar name="2">Example</tvar>; this is the most popular usage of <tvar name="3">PrefixIndex</tvar>.</translate>
: <translate>Besides, these special pages can be [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Transclusion</tvar>|transcluded]] into wikitext, so the result appears as the part of the page, e.g. <tvar name="2"><code><nowiki>{{Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/}}</nowiki></code></tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Whatlinkshere</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Recentchangeslinked</code></tvar>, <tvar name="3"><code>Movepage</code></tvar>, <tvar name="4"><code>Undelete</code></tvar>, <tvar name="5"><code>Contributions</code></tvar> and <tvar name="6"><code>Blockip</code></tvar>, being interface links, accept (or even require) a page or a user name, e.g. <tvar name="7">[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Special page]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Search</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Linksearch</code></tvar> and <tvar name="3"><code>MIMEsearch</code></tvar> accept search value, e.g. <tvar name="4">[[Special:Search/word]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Listusers</code></tvar> can be used with a group name: <tvar name="2">sysop</tvar>, <tvar name="3">bot</tvar>, <tvar name="4">bureaucrat</tvar>, <tvar name="5">checkuser</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">[[Special:Listusers/bot]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Log</code></tvar> can be used with a log type: <tvar name="2">move</tvar>, <tvar name="3">protect</tvar>, <tvar name="4">block</tvar>, <tvar name="5">delete</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">[[Special:Log/move]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Random</code></tvar> and <tvar name="2"><code>Randomredirect</code></tvar> accept namespace (see [[<tvar name="3">#Random</tvar>|above]]).</translate>
<translate>
Two special pages <tvar name="1">'''[[Special:Mypage|Mypage]]'''</tvar> and <tvar name="2">'''[[Special:Mytalk|Mytalk]]'''</tvar> exist specially for internal links, they redirect to the pages of a user who follows these links. Examples: <tvar name="3">[[Special:Mypage]]</tvar>, <tvar name="4">[[Special:Mypage/common.js]]</tvar>.

== Transclusion ==
</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Recentchanges</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Newpages</code></tvar>, <tvar name="3"><code>Newimages</code></tvar> and <tvar name="4"><code>OldReviewedPages</code></tvar> can be transcluded:</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/shownav}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>show with header</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/10}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>show 10 elements</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/limit=10,offset=10,shownav}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>start from 10th element, plus previous parameters</translate>
<translate>
From [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLangauge7MediaWiki 1.19</tvar>|MediaWiki 1.19]] template-like syntax works also, see <tvar name="2">[[bugzilla:15558]]</tvar>. For example:
</translate>
<pre>
{{Special:Newpages|limit=3}}
</pre>
<translate>gives</translate>
{{Special:Newpages|limit=3}}
<translate>
== Logs ==
</translate>

[[Special:Log]] - <translate>combined display of various logs. You can narrow down the view by:</translate>
* <translate>selecting a log type, including:</translate>
** [[Special:Log/block|{{int:blockpage}}]] - <translate>blocks and unblocks</translate>
** [[Special:Log/delete|{{int:dellogpage}}]] - <translate>deleted and undeleted pages</translate>
** [[Special:Log/protect|{{int:protectlogpage}}]] - <translate>protected and unprotected pages</translate>
** [[Special:Log/upload|{{int:uploadlogpage}}]] - <translate>list of images uploaded</translate>
* <translate>entering the full name without prefix of the acting user (usual case-sensitivity)</translate>
* <translate>entering the full name of the affected page (usual case-sensitivity) e.g. "<tvar name="1">File:Map South Holland.png</tvar>"), or the full name including prefix of the affected user (in the case of blocking, setting user rights, setting bot status, and user creation) or without prefix (in the case of renaming a user)</translate>
<translate>
It does not seem possible to search by editor for edits of deleted pages. They can only be seen by a sysop with Special:Undelete if the exact page name is known.

There are no logs available on the site for:
</translate>
* <translate>adding or removing a page from a user's list of page to watch (the user can only view the current state)</translate>
* <translate>change of preferences of a user (ditto)</translate>
* <translate>viewing a page (except that, if <tvar name="1">[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgDisableCounters|$wgDisableCounters]]</tvar> is <tvar name="2"><code>false</code></tvar>, the total number of views of a page is displayed on it)</translate>
* <translate>editing and previewing a page without saving</translate>
* <translate>applying <tvar name="1">[[Special:ExpandTemplates]]</tvar></translate>
* <translate>applying <tvar name="1">[[Special:Export]]</tvar></translate>
* <translate>unfinished operations (e.g. an attempted page move)</translate>
<translate>
It is possible to add other events to the logs; for an example, see the code for [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalBlocking</tvar>|Extension:GlobalBlocking]] or for <tvar name="2">[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Article.php|Article.php]]</tvar>.

{{help-meta}}
----
"Special pages" are pages which are automatically generated by the [[MediaWiki]] software which runs Wiktionary. They all have names beginning with "'''Special:'''" and thus can be linked to from any user page, talk page, or page in the ''Wiktionary:'' [[Help:Namespace|namespace]], by using internal links of the form:
:<nowiki>[[Special:</nowiki>''pagename'']]
Special pages should not be linked to from the dictionary entries in the main namespace.

A list of (almost) all available special pages can be found at [[Special:Specialpages]]. These pages cannot be directly edited by users; if you have a comment or suggestion about a special page, you should post it to [[Wiktionary talk:Special pages|this talk page]].

In the following list the long form of each special page name is followed by the short form used in links (shown as ''pagename'' in the above example).

This page is for the announcement of milestones on the [[Wikimedia projects]]. If you want to make such an announcement, please post it here and translate it if you can.

Recommended '''article-count milestones''' are 100, 500, 1k (1,000), 2k, 5k, then 5k increments to 20k, 10k increments to 100k, 50k increments to 200k, 100k increments to 1M (1,000,000), 500k increments to 2M, and 1M increments to 10M. Article (or content-page) counts should reflect the counts seen at each wiki's [[Special:Statistics]] page, which are based on [[mw:Manual:Article count|what MediaWiki sees as constituting an article]]. Other milestones, such as page edits, registered users or featured articles, can also be announced here, but typically only the powers-of-ten levels of these statistics are considered significant enough to announce.

'''[[Wikimedia Forum]]''' provides a place for general discussion.

''Report news'' to the [[Internal news media]].

* [[Wikinews]] ends the year with 1,734,078 articles in 34 languages, which constitutes a 215% increase in articles over the past year (mostly due to mass-creation of articles by bots in the [[n:ru:|Russian Wikinews]], which ramped up considerably in late 2020 and slowed again in mid 2021).

== Projects by number of content pages ==
The tables below are arranged chronologically by the original launch dates of the major content projects, within two main groups: "[[Help:Interlanguage links|interlingual]]" projects (different wiki for each language) followed by "multilingual" projects (all languages on the same wiki). The older [[:en:Wikimedia Foundation#Wikimedia projects|Wikimedia projects]] (such as Wikipedia) tend to be larger than the newer ones, but note that these tables are ''not'' arranged by number of sub-wikis nor by total article count (across all languages).

For the interlingual projects, ''within'' each table the individual language editions are arranged by milestone level, and then chronologically by the date the milestones were first reached.

:<small>''Note:'' You can go directly to the table for [[#Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[#Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], [[#Wikiquote|Wikiquote]], [[#Wikibooks|Wikibooks]], [[#Wikisource|Wikisource]], [[#Wikinews|Wikinews]], [[#Wikiversity|Wikiversity]], [[#Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]], [[#Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]], [[#Wikispecies|Wikispecies]], or [[#Wikidata|Wikidata]].</small>

[[en:Linux|Linux]] has the [[en:Tux (mascot)|penguin]]. [[en:MySQL|MySQL]] has the dolphin. O'Reilly has a whole zoo. Every successful open source / open content project seems to have a mascot - should [[Wikipedia]] have a mascot in addition to the logo?

==No mascot, please!==
''If you don't want a mascot''

*Support: '''26''' [[User:Youandme|Youandme]] (his POV: words embracing the Earth is enough and it is a beautiful logo, especially on Meta) -- [[Fonzy]] (now i think about it I dont think WIkipedia should have a mascot) -- [[User:Paullusmagnus|Paullusmagnus]] (Mascots have an inherent playfulness in them that is fine for most projects, but dangerous ground for an encylcopedia) -- [[User:Neolux|Neolux]] (as per Paullusmagnus, also if there are too many different "brands" for the one concept, there is a risk of losing the identity of the concept all together. Is wikipedia represented by the logo, by the mascot, by the word itself, by the square quotes...? Stick to one brand and utilise that to it's full potential.) --[[User:Buxul|Buxul]] the square quotes and a logo are enough -- [[User:Gutza|Gutza]] (see Paullusmagnus, plus: Why? What's the real use of a mascot? Also see my comments on the [[talk:Wikipedia mascot|talk page]]) -- [[User:Tali|Tali]] -- [[User:Fruggo|Fruggo]] -- [[User:Wolfram|Wolfram]] -- [[User:Elrond Nólatári|Elrond Nólatári]] -- [[User:Gkl|Gkl]] -- [[User:Ruiz|Ruiz]] 08:54, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC) -- [[User:Andrewlevine|Andrewlevine]] 05:48, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC) -- Ich (The Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't have one, but it's got a symbol (the thistle) and seems to have done pretty well.) -- [[User:Nealmcb|Nealmcb]], [[User:Hapsiainen|Hapsiainen]] -- [[User:Frazzydee|Frazzydee]] -- mascot serves no purpose/an animal popular or recognizable in one culture may be tabboo, feared or unrecognized in another.[[User:Pedant|Pedant]] 23:31, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC) --[[User:Ascánder|Ascánder]] 23:52, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC) --[[User:68.64.9.10|68.64.9.10]] 01:22, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) --[[User:81.229.227.212|81.229.227.212]] 15:18, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC) -- [[user:zanimum]][[User:139.62.185.215|139.62.185.215]] 02:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC) -- [[User:Tempshill2|Tempshill2]] 18:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC)--[[User:18.95.7.164|18.95.7.164]] 21:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
*I think a mascot would take away from the beauty of the Wikipedia logo. [[User:Jade Knight|The Jade Knight]] 23:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved out: <s>[[User:Sverdrup|Sverdrup]] (Symbols are better, esp with the international nature of Wikipedia in though)</s> Redecided, I want a mascot [[User:Sverdrup|✏ Sverdrup]] 15:05, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Some rationales from the above voters:

* The Wikipedia logo already beautifully conveys the earth itself, and diverse human cultures around the globe, as the "mascot" of Wikipedia. A different mascot would compete with the logo and dilute the value of the Wikipedia brand.
* All, or nearly all, open-source mascots look very amateurish. So do all the mascots below as of this writing. Granted, Wikipedia editors are mostly amateurs, but openly embracing amateur content decreases the value of the brand. Some editors (including me) would be less likely to contribute to the project if we're going to brand ourselves with a mascot that shouts "amateurville". ([[User:Tempshill2|Tempshill2]] 18:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC))

==Mascot, please!==
''If you want a mascot.''

It could be used in the [[Logo suggestions|logo]], printed on [[Wikipedia T-shirts|T-shirts]] or kept as a housepet. But what should it be? A [[en:fish|fish]], a [[en:bird|bird]], an [[en:insect|insect]], a [[en:mammal|mammal]], a [[en:reptile|reptile]], a [[en:virus|virus]]? This page is for collecting ideas. At any time, feel free to express your support for a particular mascot by putting your name under it.

It would probably be nice if the mascot somehow represented the [[en:Wikipedia:Self-references spirit | spirit]] of Wikipedia, e.g.:
* social
* massively cooperative
* controversial
* chaotic
* growing
* ambitious
* infectious
* curious

'''Mascot Name'''
Once the mascot is chosen, a name may need to be given to it see: [[Wikipedia mascot/name]]

'''Suggested mascots'''
This is [[en:Approval voting]] so you can add your name next to as many choices as you want.

===Alphabetical order===
Please keep entries in alphabetical order so that people can easily find and refer to potential mascots. Please do not add new options unless you get them seconded by one other Wikipedian. The current options are:

===Amoeba===
*Support: <strong>2</strong> [[User:Torombol|Torombol]] --
[[User:Ola_H|Ola_H]] --

*Rationale: I don't know if it's being used by another GNU project, but I really like an amoeba for mascot. It is chaotic, it is growing, becoming something that nobody could know cooperating with other amoebas, it could be infectious, curious and very social.

*Image: I don't have it, but I will like an amoeba with glasses.

[[User:Holycharly|Holycharly]] 14:13, 8 September 2005 (UTC) - we French froggies had the same in the eighties at TV #2 (Antenne 2) which was a silly centipede that continuously lost its spherical components (it was a mongrel of 1000 of them). Liked it. -- [[User:LifeMega|LifeMega]] 19:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC) I love the Wikipede. The name sounds like [[Wikipedian]], and the many arms represent the many people contributing.
[[en:User:Nahallac Silverwinds|Naha]] Great play on words! It has so much personality and potential. It jumps right off the page! Owls and monkeys are already way overused as logos around the world. The ant just seems too plain. Lets be different!

*Images - [http://pmo.umext.maine.edu/ipddl/centipede.jpg], [http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/uniramia/centipede.gif], [http://www.insectsafari.com/insectid/newimages/centipede.jpg], , [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer%3AElian Elian's] version, [[w:Image:wikipedesketch1.png]], [[Image talk:wikipedia_mascot_matte.png|another alternate version]]

*Rationale: legs co-operate, great (disarmingly cute) images. Controversial (not Disneyish). Very agile and can bend this way or that to get past obstacles. Centipedes will fight off bigger insects or spiders, will decimate cockroaches. Millipedes can roll themselves into a tight little ball when threatened and avoid injury and at times roll speedily away from danger. "wikipede" is a nice pun.

*Problems: negative/creepy connotations for some (see images above) - drawings are good though. Do they co-operate enough? Name "Wikipede" hard to internationalise.

===Chick coming out of a Wikipedia Jigsaw Egg ===

The chicken would be coming out of an egg (that is made out of the jigsaw puzzle pieces of the Wikipedia Globe). It shows how nice cute and tender Wikipedia is... And the growth that lies ahead and reminds us of the chicken and egg problem.... The Wikipedia was born first or the Wikipedians ;-) [[User:SudarshanP|SudarshanP]] 16:40, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

:This is a mockup of a mascot for Wikipedia or Wikidata. Part of the image is derived from [http://www.gocollect.com/product_display/products/display_product.asp?image=/images/LooneyTunes/300/985009.jpg] . Someone with good artistic skill can improve on this "theme" to make it completely legal. Apart from being a candidate for Wikipedia Mascot... I think it could be a candidate for the logo of [[Wikidata]] or Semantic Wikipedia. The Wikipedians construct the Jigsaw Egg(Wikipedia), piece by piece, it hatches and out comes the Semantic Wikipedia(Wikidata). It represents the '''birth''' of something much more than what went into it. [[User:SudarshanP|SudarshanP]] 18:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

===Coyote===

*Support: [[User:Calliope|Calliope]]

*Rationale: Coyotes are ''curious'' (will investigate human activity when they roam into residential areas); ''controversial'' (farmers and ranchers tend to hate them but other people like them); ''growing'' (the range of coyote territory has expanded greatly in recent years and keeps expanding); ''cooperative'' (in the way they raise pups and hunt together to bring down animals they couldn't kill alone); ''ambitious'' in their search for food and in tackling animals much larger than themselves; and ''social'' in the way they vocalize to communicate with other coyotes and travel in packs. (You could also call them infectious, but coyotes don't get rabies as often as domestic dogs.) And yes, coyotes are very cute and good to draw.

*Rationale: Work cooperatively, have a Queen (Jimbo rules!), collect nectar (collect info), take that back to the hive, and turn that into honey (articles). Very positive symbol. Wikipedia resembles a humming hive of busy workers making something beautiful (honey=free quality information resource). Bees communicate well with each other, and there is some evidence that they work with a type of collective intelligence. The nectar collection also pollinates flowers so that they can reproduce.

If the monkey is chosen, it would look best typing with its feet! Not only would it be funny (even funnier than a regular old monkey), it would be a good reason for explaining why Wikipedia isn't perfect.

I think that the monkeys working on it would be a definite show of the collaboration in the process of creating the wikipedia. Of course, thousands of monkeys, in addition to writing shakespeare also produce a fair amount of [[Davey Havok|crap]].

*The octopus has a soft body with a well-developed brain, similar to a human's. It is known to be very intelligent.[ Analogy- wikipedia- amorphous/ undefined/ ambiguous body and intelligent mind]

*Octopi hunt primarily at night or on dark dreary days, thus this is the best time to see them out and about[Analogy- wikipedians? moonlighting [ I think that's what Westerners call working on alternate job at night?]

*The octopus seizes its prey with its eight long arms. These arms bear two rows of suckers each. The hundreds of suckers that line their arms help the octopus to hold on to almost anything.[ Analogy- no explanations necessary- wikipedians grab on to lots of info and there is no corner unreached, second important reason why I suggested this mascot]

*Octopus head= wikipedia, tentacles= wikipedians.If an octopus loses one of its tentacles, it will soon grow another one in the same place.[ Analogy- most important reason why I chose octopus for wikipedia- bad users are banned- new ones are taken in, good ones are retained... and so on- there is an element of regeneration and constant renewal, and the idea of the whole being more than [and more important than] the sum of its parts]

*minus points- is there an element of cruelty in the catching of prey and tentacles?

my opinion:
No! If the tentacles are the members, then we members are sucking up information! We are the tentacles catching the prey, knowledge!--[[User:65.172.213.123|65.172.213.123]] 16:44, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

:''(Local image [[:Image:Octopus.jpg]] commented out, as it was deleted for having no source. [[User:Korg|Korg]] 15:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC))''

===Otter===
*Rationale: There are several species, but perhaps freshwater (river) otters might be the best choice. They embody all of the qualities listed above with perhaps special emphasis on playful and curious. The appearance and behavior is appealing at least to humans and other otters, and though rather incompatible with an orderly environment due to their playfulness and curiosity, they are not known to be vicious, hostile, or agressive. Regrettably, unlike centipedes or milipedes, they have only a few feet, thus not stressing the "...pedia" aspect of Wikipedia. Perhaps this could be remedied by adopting an appropriate name, eg Pede, the Otter? Public domain images, a la those used by O'Reilly Publishers for their covers might be appropriate, or perhaps a cartoon akin in spirit to that used for Tux (the Linux mascot) would be better. Artists are invited to have a go. The aspect to be emphasized in such a cartoon otter is a impish curiosity, with perhaps a touch of satisfaction at recent excellent meal of insufficiently quick fish or newly found understanding.

*Rationale: An old symbol for knowledge and searching for facts. An owl head could easily be integrated in the logotype. Maybe boring but respected and traditional. The eyebrows could form a W shape too.

*Problems: [http://www.encyclopedia.com Encyclopedia.com] and [[en:Wikinfo|Wikinfo]] use a cartoon owl as their logos. Also, owls work alone.

*Problems: The [[en:Darwin kernel]] uses a Donald Duck look-alike platypus named [http://www.hexley.com/ Hexley]. Also, the Gnu has been remarked upon as an animal most likely built by committee, and it's an old free-software joke.

===Puzzle piece===

A new mascot idea (with the puzzle globe): the wikipedia puzzle piece. Like this one:

===Pythia===
<div style="float:center;margin:0 0 1em 1em;">[[Image:Pythia.png|Pythia]]</div>
*[[en:Pythia|Pythia]] was the all-seeing oracle. [[User:JWSchmidt|JWSurf]] 17:55, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*So were the Sibyl and Cassandra -- See [http://www.unitedheroes.net/dri/ Delphic Research]. -- [[User:Derek Ross|Derek Ross]] 18:42, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* Sibyl is almost as nerdishly obscure as Pythia, but due to my familiarity with the unsavory character "Sibil" in [[en:Jack_Vance|Jack Vance]]'s book ''Araminta Station'', I would not like "Sybil" as the mascot. The name "Cassandra" is too commonly used. [[User:JWSchmidt|JWSurf]] 19:27, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
* Unfortunately, these two names have been brought into the mainstream by J.K. Rowling: Sybil Trelawney is the Hogwarts Divination teacher, and Cassandra was her famous clairvoyant great-grandmother. [[User:The Noodle Incident]]
**Well Cassandra was my favourite female character from the Aeneid but since she was always correct but was never believed, she might not be the best choice as Wikipedia mascot. -- [[User:Derek Ross|Derek Ross]]

against: wikipedia is the reverse of the oracle

===Sand Puppy===

<div align="right">
[[Image:Wikimolerat_concept_small.gif|thumb|Concept art. Imagine more of them scurrying about.]]

(a.k.a. the "[[en:Naked mole rat|Naked mole rat]]")

*Support: <strong>1</strong> [[User:Kraut1138|Kraut1138]]

*Rationale: Social and massively cooperative. Busy, chaotic colonies. Not easily contained (can chew through concrete). A mammalian alternative to ants and bees. Sand puppy sounds friendlier than naked mole rat.

*Problems: Not cute. Nearly blind.

===La Serpiente===
<div style="float:left; padding:15pt;">
http://es.wikipedia.org/upload/d/d1/WIKI.jpg
</div>
El movimiento forma parte de la energía y de lo más íntimo de la materia: El movimiento es la energía y la materia.

Todas las capacidades y expectativas del conocimiento humano permanecen ligadas a la idea de movimiento.

La mascota que sugiero es la serpiente que mira una onda senoidal que representa el movimiento y al mismo tiempo la representa a ella misma.

Además la serpiente es femenina, como se intuye el futuro, y está estrechamente ligada al pasado del conocimiento de la humanidad (El Edén, Egipto, la medicina...)

En la representación, la fusión de la serpiente con los ejes cartesianos sugiere la unión entre las líneas rectas y curvas, la cruz y la luna, es decir la herencia del conocimiento de occidente unido con la de oriente.

please, if you´re able translate this into english, thanks, the author

[Here the translation into English]

Serpent, movement is part of the energy and most intimately of the matter: The movement is the energy and the matter.

All the capacities and expectations of the human knowledge remain bound to the movement idea.

The mascot that I suggest is the serpent that watches a sine wave that represents the movement and at the same time it represents herself.

In addition the serpent is feminine [in some cultures: note of the translator], as it is intuited the future, and closely is bound to the past of knowledge of humanity (Eden, Egypt, medicine...)

In the representation, the fusion of the serpent with the cartesian axes suggests the union between the straight and curved lines, the cross and the moon, meaning the inheritance of the knowledge of the West united with the one of east.

===Mustard tree===
* '''Support:''' '''1''' [[User:Node_ue|Node]]
* '''Weak support:''' [[user:zanimum]]

<h3>Comments</h3>
* Wikipedia should '''not''' be referred with '''any animal''', because it is not a computer programme processing data as MySQL or Linux. Therefore instread of fauna, it should be part of flora, because it is data more than just a programme processing data. -- [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

** I don't get your point. Programs use animals, so projects and organizations shouldn't? -- [[user:zanimum]]

* The second problem is, that if Wikipedia is animal, it could become in some circumtances be an unacceptable animal like pig (for exampe one of Walt Disney's three little pigs http://www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/pigs/mstory.htm ) in Jewish or Moslem cultures. A red cross and red half moon are examples of the risk. -- [[User:Node_ue|Node]]

** Exactly why the centipede, in the lead in terms of votes, is beyond being simply a deplorable choice. It's an equal opportunity turn off. While no religion or culture is offended by the tree, mustard gas started all the chemical warfare that's killed many thousands internationally. -- [[user:zanimum]]

* How exactly is a mustard tree identifiable iconicly, versus a spruce or apple? If it simply looks like a tree, then the uninformed won't have a clue to the reasoning behind it, no matter how sound. -- [[user:zanimum]]

* '''Wikipedism is a belief in rationality and it is neo-encyclopedism''' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedism
** What? People have based their personal spirituality on Wikipedia? -- [[user:zanimum]]

* Luke 17:5 (NIV) The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."
** Bible or any religious reasoning = ignoring other cultural groups. -- [[user:zanimum]]

* http://www.io.com/~maddog/pho_huis.jpg

* In Canada, mustard is a ground-level plant, rather like a weed. Are these plants both related in any way? -- [[user:zanimum]]

* It is low in cholesterol, fats, and saturated fat. -- [[user:zanimum]]

*Rationale: Their progress goes much in the same heuristic way as the wikipedians. -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick]]

===Tardigrade / Tardígrado===
The Tardigrade is the strongest animal ever. Don't we want our ideology to be deathless? Don't have the image yet, but you can look about this animal here in wikipedia.

El Tardígrado es el animal más fuerte de todos. ¿No queremos acaso que nuestra ideología perdure? Aún no tengo la imagen, pero pueden averiguar sobre este animal aquí en wikipedia.

===Termites===
*Support: <strong>3</strong> anthere (that make a lot of sense) -- [[User:Ducker|Ducker]] -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick]]

*Rationale: Termites are co-operative animals. In some ways we are like them in our work on the House of Intellectual Property. They are so maligned that there is little chance that anyone has chosen them as a mascot before.

*Problems: Termites are known as destroyers, not builders. -- [[User:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]]

** I recently found this impressive termite home[http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/MMS/termite1.jpg] which seems to prove the opposite ;-) --[[User:Elian|Elian]]

***Oh sure, termites are ''tremendous'' builders, but that's not commonly associated with them. I simply said they're ''known'' as destroyers. People tend to think of termites infesting buildings rather than building impressive structures. I like to think that Wikipedia is fighting repressive notions of "intellectual properity" by building something better, not by undermining what already exists. -- [[User:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]]

Well, it is not the most cooperative animal, they do live in pods, but it isn't really a pack/herd/group animal. and what do you mean modeled after shamu? they all look like that. I have nothing against it, but nothing for it either, except that they look cool :-) - jedi of redwall

*'''Strong Support''' What makes a symbol a good symbol? It has to be something that strongly relates to what it's supposed to represent, something unique enough as to gain recognition when it's encountered, something that evokes emotion, something simple and to the point.

MediaWiki searches all pages in a specified group of names in a special [[w:ASCII#Order|ASCII order]]. Capitals come before lowercase letters; special characters, such as <tvar name="1">''é''</tvar>, come after <tvar name="2">''z''</tvar>.

MediaWiki searches include redirects (for example: <tvar name="1"><nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Page name]]</nowiki></tvar>). These redirects are usually displayed in a different style than normal pages because of <tvar name="2"><code>allpagesredirect</code></tvar> class.

If a person uses "<tvar name="1">{{int:allpagesfrom}}</tvar>" to search, both <tvar name="2">[[Special:Prefixindex]]</tvar> and <tvar name="3">[[Special:Allpages]]</tvar> will show the list of pages starting with this word, then Allpages will display all of the other pages in ASCII order which don't have this word.

For example, if a person types in "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in the "<tvar name="2">{{int:allpagesfrom}}</tvar>" box on the <tvar name="3">[[Special:AllPages]]</tvar> page, MediaWiki will first list all pages that start with the word "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>":

<translate>
== Links to special pages ==
</translate>
{{anchor|Miscellaneous}} 
<translate>
Special pages can be linked to as usual, like <tvar name="1">[[Special:Recentchanges]]</tvar>. Instead of "<tvar name="2">special</tvar>" prefix, a localized namespace name can be used, e.g. "<tvar name="3">Speciaal</tvar>" in Dutch, "<tvar name="4">Spezial</tvar>" in German, "<tvar name="5">Speciális</tvar>" in Hungarian and "<tvar name="6">מיוחד</tvar>" in Hebrew. The localized name also appears in the [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:URL</tvar>|URLs]].

Redirects to special pages have been disabled because of their complications.

Some special pages accept (and some require) a parameter after <tvar name="1"><code>/</code></tvar>. For other pages and parameters the full URL has to be given, for example <tvar name="2">{{SERVER}}/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=10</tvar> (last 10 changes).
</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Allpages</code></tvar> and <tvar name="2"><code>Prefixindex</code></tvar> allow a namespace and a (partial) pagename, for example:</translate>
:* [[Special:Allpages/Template:Z]] — <translate>all templates starting with "<tvar name="1">Z</tvar>" and all templates after that.</translate>
:* [[Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/]] — <translate>all [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Subpages</tvar>|subpages]] of user <tvar name="2">Example</tvar>; this is the most popular usage of <tvar name="3">PrefixIndex</tvar>.</translate>
: <translate>Besides, these special pages can be [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Transclusion</tvar>|transcluded]] into wikitext, so the result appears as the part of the page, e.g. <tvar name="2"><code><nowiki>{{Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/}}</nowiki></code></tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Whatlinkshere</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Recentchangeslinked</code></tvar>, <tvar name="3"><code>Movepage</code></tvar>, <tvar name="4"><code>Undelete</code></tvar>, <tvar name="5"><code>Contributions</code></tvar> and <tvar name="6"><code>Blockip</code></tvar>, being interface links, accept (or even require) a page or a user name, e.g. <tvar name="7">[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Special page]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Search</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Linksearch</code></tvar> and <tvar name="3"><code>MIMEsearch</code></tvar> accept search value, e.g. <tvar name="4">[[Special:Search/word]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Listusers</code></tvar> can be used with a group name: <tvar name="2">sysop</tvar>, <tvar name="3">bot</tvar>, <tvar name="4">bureaucrat</tvar>, <tvar name="5">checkuser</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">[[Special:Listusers/bot]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Log</code></tvar> can be used with a log type: <tvar name="2">move</tvar>, <tvar name="3">protect</tvar>, <tvar name="4">block</tvar>, <tvar name="5">delete</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">[[Special:Log/move]]</tvar>.</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Random</code></tvar> and <tvar name="2"><code>Randomredirect</code></tvar> accept namespace (see [[<tvar name="3">#Random</tvar>|above]]).</translate>
<translate>
Two special pages <tvar name="1">'''[[Special:Mypage|Mypage]]'''</tvar> and <tvar name="2">'''[[Special:Mytalk|Mytalk]]'''</tvar> exist specially for internal links, they redirect to the pages of a user who follows these links. Examples: <tvar name="3">[[Special:Mypage]]</tvar>, <tvar name="4">[[Special:Mypage/common.js]]</tvar>.

== Transclusion ==
</translate>
* <translate><tvar name="1"><code>Recentchanges</code></tvar>, <tvar name="2"><code>Newpages</code></tvar>, <tvar name="3"><code>Newimages</code></tvar> and <tvar name="4"><code>OldReviewedPages</code></tvar> can be transcluded:</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/shownav}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>show with header</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/10}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>show 10 elements</translate>
*: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Newpages/limit=10,offset=10,shownav}}</nowiki></code> — <translate>start from 10th element, plus previous parameters</translate>
<translate>
From [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLangauge7MediaWiki 1.19</tvar>|MediaWiki 1.19]] template-like syntax works also, see <tvar name="2">[[bugzilla:15558]]</tvar>. For example:
</translate>
<pre>
{{Special:Newpages|limit=3}}
</pre>
<translate>gives</translate>
{{Special:Newpages|limit=3}}
<translate>
== Logs ==
</translate>

[[Special:Log]] - <translate>combined display of various logs. You can narrow down the view by:</translate>
* <translate>selecting a log type, including:</translate>
** [[Special:Log/block|{{int:blockpage}}]] - <translate>blocks and unblocks</translate>
** [[Special:Log/delete|{{int:dellogpage}}]] - <translate>deleted and undeleted pages</translate>
** [[Special:Log/protect|{{int:protectlogpage}}]] - <translate>protected and unprotected pages</translate>
** [[Special:Log/upload|{{int:uploadlogpage}}]] - <translate>list of images uploaded</translate>
* <translate>entering the full name without prefix of the acting user (usual case-sensitivity)</translate>
* <translate>entering the full name of the affected page (usual case-sensitivity) e.g. "<tvar name="1">File:Map South Holland.png</tvar>"), or the full name including prefix of the affected user (in the case of blocking, setting user rights, setting bot status, and user creation) or without prefix (in the case of renaming a user)</translate>
<translate>
It does not seem possible to search by editor for edits of deleted pages. They can only be seen by a sysop with Special:Undelete if the exact page name is known.

There are no logs available on the site for:
</translate>
* <translate>adding or removing a page from a user's list of page to watch (the user can only view the current state)</translate>
* <translate>change of preferences of a user (ditto)</translate>
* <translate>viewing a page (except that, if <tvar name="1">[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgDisableCounters|$wgDisableCounters]]</tvar> is <tvar name="2"><code>false</code></tvar>, the total number of views of a page is displayed on it)</translate>
* <translate>editing and previewing a page without saving</translate>
* <translate>applying <tvar name="1">[[Special:ExpandTemplates]]</tvar></translate>
* <translate>applying <tvar name="1">[[Special:Export]]</tvar></translate>
* <translate>unfinished operations (e.g. an attempted page move)</translate>
<translate>
It is possible to add other events to the logs; for an example, see the code for [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalBlocking</tvar>|Extension:GlobalBlocking]] or for <tvar name="2">[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Article.php|Article.php]]</tvar>.
