I feel it relevant to this thread to point out a new page created by the

I looked but could not find an SVG version of the new logo without text on
Commons for those who would wish to update sister project templates on
non-Wikipedia projects.
Basically, it would be a cropped version of

projects in each language, for children, you've got the domain name there,

It is irritating to continually see stewards making local blocks at the
English language Wikibooks with the comment "crosswiki abuse ". This has been occurring since March. In
every case I've checked the user in question has a unified account and in
nearly all cases they have not made any edits l
That would be an acceptable solution. Thanks.

It sounds, on the surface, like retaliation simply as a result of your
association with those who this person feels has wronged him. Try to
request an unblock locally and hopefully an administrator without a conflict
of interest will intervene.

This is the first I've heard about this, as an OTRS volunteer for an English
language non-info-en queue. I do not have the luxury of being subscribed to
the OTRS mailing list, as it's restricted to those with access to the
info-en queue. That subset of OTRS members is not equal to all of them.

It's also not difficult to add links to sister projects in the
sidebar, as seen at en.wikibooks since February 2011 [1]. And I know
some other projects do similar things as well, some with JavaScript.
The only difficulty encountered at en.wikibooks is not knowing how to

Whoever has locked out access to it.wikipedia.org should be immediately
desysopped under emergency procedures. This site is run by the Wikimedia
Foundation and I've seen no authorization by the WMF for the vandalism of
