Question from Donnaleah on Dominic Tang (15:35, 28 July 2025)
[edit]Can I post a digital copy of Bishop Tang’s book How Inscrutable His Ways . It seems I can’t. --Donnaleah (talk) 15:35, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Donnaleah It is unlikely, as that book most likely is protected by copyright, and thus making and distributing copyrighted materials is not legally permitted. FULBERT (talk) 18:19, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure
See also newsletters: Apps · Growth · Product Safety and Integrity · Research · Web · Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia · Tech News · Language and Internationalization · other newsletters on MediaWiki.org
- Tech News: See all the 60 community-submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks in Tech News week 29 and 30. For example, the request to add Malayalam fonts in the Wikisource Book Export Tool was resolved and now, the rendering of Malayalam letters in exported Wikisource books are accurate.
- Temporary Accounts: After the rollout of temporary accounts on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, we are monitoring the impact of this change, and preparing for the next deployments. See the full project update.
- Add a link: Administrators can now limit "Add a Link" to newcomers, as opposed to keeping it open to more experienced editors as well. "Add a link" helps newcomers to start editing, so restricting the feature to them enables Administrators to cater the feature to that specific group, which they can do via the Community Configuration feature.
