Bonjour, je suis Erdrokan, et je vous accueille en tant que wikipédien bénévole.
Wikipédia est une formidable aventure collective, toujours en construction. La version francophone comporte aujourd'hui 2 648 166 articles, rédigés et maintenus par des bénévoles comme vous et moi. Vous allez y effectuer vos premiers pas : n’hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez besoin de conseils ou d'aide pour cela, ou à laisser un message sur le forum des nouveaux. Une réponse vous sera apportée avec plaisir !
Wikipédia repose sur des principes fondateurs respectés par tous :
- encyclopédisme et vérifiabilité (s'appuyer sur des sources reconnues),
- neutralité de point de vue (pas de promotion),
- licence libre et respect des droits d'auteurs (pas de copie ou plagiat),
- savoir-vivre (politesse et consensus),
- n'hésitez pas à modifier (l'historique conserve tout).
Vous êtes invité(s) à découvrir tout cela plus en détail en consultant les liens ci-contre →
Un livret d'aide à télécharger, reprenant l’essentiel à savoir, est également à votre disposition.
Je vous souhaite de prendre plaisir à lire ou à contribuer à Wikipédia.
À bientôt !
P.S. Vos nouveaux messages seront affichés en bas de cette page et signés par leur expéditeur. Pour lui répondre, cliquez sur sa signature (aide).

, the logic of Wikibase functiongetAllStatements
changed to behave likegetBestStatements
. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [3] - Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.
