OK. I've added this to Tech News #36 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2019/36> which will go out on September 2 (no issue on Monday, all the usual writers are travelling and no one else picked up the torch <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tech/News>). I've also posted on Project Chat <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Wikidata_read-only_period_on_September_10_at_roughly_05:00_AM_UTC> on Wikidata as that is fairly soon. In general, I recommend: - Posting on the Village Pump, to give a heads up, at least a couple of weeks prior to the read-only period. It would be good if this could be done for all wikis. - Mentioning it in Tech News. (This is being done.) - We can follow up in Tech News later, especially for September 10, 24 and 26. The wikis on September 24 are a) few and b) not Commons and Wikidata that are used by other wikis. If we want to remind the wikis on September 17, that's probably best done individually, outside of Tech News. - Set up banner maybe 30–60 minutes before the read-only period. This can be done by asking the communities or by a CentralNotice banner (ping @Trizek-WMF). This is a routine by now, and works well, so the above should be enough, TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230788 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Johan Cc: Trizek-WMF, Whatamidoing-WMF, RhinosF1, WMDE-leszek, Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, Johan, jcrespo, wiki_willy, Aklapper, Marostegui, darthmon_wmde, Viztor, DannyS712, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, JJMC89, Poyekhali, _jensen, rosalieper, Taiwania_Justo, Ixocactus, Wong128hk, Luke081515, Wikidata-bugs, aude, El_Grafo, Dinoguy1000, TheDJ, Steinsplitter, Mbch331, Jay8g, Keegan
