I have been asked to request that pl.wikinews also change to CC-BY-4.0 the same date https://pl.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews%3AKawiarenka&diff=341453&oldid=341452

The local discussion/vote was at https://pl.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews:G%C5%82osowania/Zmiana_licencji_na_CC:BY_4.0&oldid=328394

As info a similar change was made at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T372730

Under 'wgRightsUrl' we need:

'enwikinews' => 'https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/',
'plwikinews' => 'https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/',

Under 'wgRightsText' we need:

'enwikinews' => 'Creative Commons Attribution 4.0',
'plwikinews' => 'Creative Commons Attribution 4.0',

Etc. if more languages are added.

@Lolekek you helped fix ar.wikinews. Any chance you can also help with this?

Change #1101867 had a related patch set uploaded (by أنون; author: أنون):

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] [enwikinews] & [plwikinews]: Upgrade license to CC BY 4.0

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1101867

@MGA73 I will look into this. It should be deployed on Dec 16th I assume?

@Lolekek yes please! Thank you!

Sorry to ask but hewikinews would also like to change to CC-BY-4.0 per https://he.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%97%D7%93%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA:%D7%93%D7%A1%D7%A7_%D7%97%D7%93%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA&oldid=50087#%D7%A9%D7%93%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%92_%D7%94%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9F_%D7%9C%D6%BEcc-by-4.0

Is it easy to update the patch to include that or is it better to make a new request?

Hi @MGA73, Preferably do a general task and notify all wikinews communities.

Hi @Gerges I have notified all communities per https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:2024_Copyright_license_upgrade/other-Wikinews and have since May/June 2024 tried to get a response from all communities.

We have discussed if it is possible to suggest a change on all projects per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes and use "the rule" that "In the case of a very small and low-activity community, it should be enough to show that you have tried to gain consensus, and that you have given an opportunity for objections." and request a change if the community does not respond.

So if you have any advice on how to do it I would really appriciate any help.

Patch has been modified.

supposed to be due today, i think it is not completed yet -- why not? what is the next step please?

@Lolekek

No, it's supposed to be due tomorrow (at least in my timezone)

This task is a config change deployment and those generally are only done at the three daily backport windows: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Backport_windows / https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments

I assume someone is planning to schedule it for deployment in one of those tomorrow.

This is scheduled for deployment in the Monday UTC morning backport window (in about one hour).
