I would like inform about the report a violation of the GFDL license in projects[1] of the WMF Foundation[2]. The violation report is available at:
https://krehel.sk/krehel.sk/Porusovanie_GFDL/
(Slovak).

A new document was created, which is less "legal" and more "practical". It is about "
Fixing violations of CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL licenses
" (Slovak).

Can we get (or is there already) a redirect to
Policy:Terms of Use#paid-contrib-disclosure
, which could be handled as an interwiki link from
project:Conflict of interest
(Q4663309)
? Please ping me if replying, I don't maintain a watchlist on this wiki. -

: Apologies for the delay. I have created the redirect:
Policy:PAID
. However, I am unable to link it to
d:Q4663309
as I get an error about the page the redirect is pointing to already being linked. I am not sure that you can link redirects to Wikidata - but I am not an expert on that - so open to input or others finishing the task. --

yeah, seems you now can't link redirects from Wikidata. I think that's a change from a couple of years ago. -

Hmmm - what do you think of a Disambig page? Something like
Legal:Digital Millennium Copyright Act
but specific to paid editing? Probably house it at
Policy:Paid editing
. Alternatively, go in "Conflict of interest" wording to match the Wikidata entry? ----

I'm open to any reasonable solution. Just to be clear what the actual problem is that I was trying to solve: the global policy expressed here is currently not linked in the obvious manner to the item that covers the policies for each individual Wikipedia or other wiki. -

two

- do those work for achieving this goal? --

On the mobile version of the wiki, the sections in yellow are displayed only if the section 13 is opened, as if they were its subsections. I don't know if this is a bug in Mediawiki, but the terms should be fixed immediately, as the sections which are supposed to be more visible are actually made less visible.

n:Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#Update_of_license
there is a discussion if Wikinews have to update to CC-BY-SA-4.0 or if it is okay to keep using CC-BY-2.5 or another license.
Perhaps someone from WMF could have a look and clarify if the ToU require that license is updated or not? --

: FYI:
Policy_talk:Terms_of_Use/Archive_2#Wikinews,_marketing_company_mediation
The default move to CC BY SA 4.0 would not affect any project that expressly chooses to have a different licensing scheme [...] Wikinews and Wikidata's communities will keep their bespoke licensing schemes unless the communities choose otherwise.
