| '''Updates for technical contributors''' | |||
| * ] Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new <code dir="ltr">{{]:…}}</code> parser function. For example, <code dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{#timef:now|date|en}}</nowiki></code> will show as "<bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">{{#timef:now|date|en}}</bdi>". Previously, <code dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{#time:…}}</nowiki></code> could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. <code dir="ltr">#timef</code> (or <code dir="ltr">#timefl</code> for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. | |||

| == Invitation to participate in a research == | |||
| Hello, | |||
| The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention.

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''. | |||
| You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. | |||
| The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] . | |||
