If it is necessary to inform many/all wikis about something important, a [[meta:Global_notifications|global notification]] can be requested at '''[[meta:Global notifications/requests]]'''. It is possible to have wiki and/or language dependent text within every message.
''All Meta notifications are synchronized automatically, either on all wikis or just on specific, selected ones.''
To have a common access point, the messages are updated at '''[[{{NS:User}}:WikimediaNotifier/notifications]]''' ''(mirrored, any changes to this page will be overwritten; [[meta:Global_notifications/how-to#translation|use a separate page for translation]]);'' you can include this page<small>(s)</small> like a template wherever you want, let's say your village pump, with a description in your language!
Have a look on the '''[[meta:Global notifications/how-to|Frequently Asked Questions]]''' to see how it can fit your needs!
* <small>With '''[[meta:User:Pathoschild/Scripts/SynchCrosswiki|SynchCrosswiki]]''' there furthermore is an easy way to create or synchronize pages like user scripts on all wikis!</small>

The Wiktionary community ''(actually the whole Wikimedia community)'' voted for a '''[[meta:Wiktionary/logo|new Wiktionary logo]]''', back in [[meta:Wiktionary/logo/archive-vote-4|2006]].<br />As some major local communities refused to adapt the new logo for different reasons, Wiktionary now has two different logos, both widely used!
Because Wiktionary should have one common logo and [[BugZilla:16315|favicon]], meaning a unique visual identity, there is an '''[[meta:Wiktionary/logo/refresh|attempt to refresh]]''' the Wiktionary logo update/change process.

Beside the elder [[:mw:Help:Patrolled_edits|Patroller extension]] for patrolling recent changes and new pages, there is a highly configurable [[meta:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] extension, called [[:mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs|FlaggedRevs]].
'''FlaggedRevs''' – being already enabled on [[meta:FlaggedRevs|several Wikimedia wikis]] – is a toolset for transparent and ensured article <u>patrolling</u> and/or for reliable <u>quality</u> assurance by specifying certain accurate article revisions that are shown to the public by default. Those stable article versions are identified in a release process by a trustable editorial staff and/or get approved by a reviewing expert staff. It is even possible to mark (tag) revisions of selected articles for different purposes, let's say for an article validation aiming on a print edition. Furthermore, there is the possibility to let your readers give you evaluative feedbacks.
FlaggedRevs will make your wiki more reliable and thus more reputable over the time!
Have a look on [[meta:FlaggedRevs|Meta's description]], the [[:mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs|technical description]] and the '''[[mailarchive:wikipedia-l/2008-June/030575.html|guidance for requesting FlaggedRevs]]'''!
