Many public wikis put all contributions under a [http://freedomdefined.org/Definition free license].
This helps to create a sense of community ownership and encourages long-term contribution.
It is not generally necessary for a private or corporate wiki.

If you want to be able to use text from Wikipedia, and you want Wikipedia to be able to accept text copied from your wiki, you should choose <strong>{{int:config-license-cc-by-sa}}</strong>.

Wikipedia previously used the GNU Free Documentation License.
The GFDL is a valid license, but it is difficult to understand.
It is also difficult to reuse content licensed under the GFDL.

Error message if the e-mail address is not valid (e.g. non-ASCII characters, spaces or lacking @).

Note: the example message should not use a real domain name. We should use "@example.com" (where all contents sent are automatically dropped and no reply are expected): see the RFCs about example.com. This domain is also a "wildcard" domain: all valid domain subdomains names resolve to the same base domain, so "any.name@anysubdomain.example.com" is also valid).

We should not use real domain names in this generic message, in order to avoid unexpected spams being sent to them by malware bots that are indexing email addresses found in wiki pages. Bots know that email addresses in @example.com are invalid or will never be read.

This page lists [[{{MediaWiki:Validationpage}}|reviewed]] pages having one or more tagged edits awaiting review. A list of [[Special:Tags|valid change tags]] is available.

Error message displayed when <code>$wgCreatePollThresholds</code> is defined and the user does not match one or more of the defined thresholds.

Congratulations!
You can now start translating.

Do not be afraid if it still feels new and confusing to you.
At [[Project list]] there is an overview of projects you can contribute translations to.
Most of the projects have a short description page with a "''Translate this project''" link, that will take you to a page which lists all untranslated messages.
A list of all message groups with the [[Special:LanguageStats|current translation state for a language]] is also available.

If you feel that you need to understand more before you start translating, you can read the [[FAQ|Frequently asked questions]].
Unfortunately documentation can be out of date sometimes.
If there is something that you think you should be able to do, but cannot find out how, do not hesitate to ask it at the [[Support|support page]].

You can also contact fellow translators of the same language at [[Portal:$1|your language portal]]'s [[Portal_talk:$1|talk page]].
If you have not already done so, [[Special:Preferences|change your user interface language to the language you want to translate in]], so that the wiki is able to show the most relevant links for you.
