Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.
Hi @Lufkinrules, welcome to Wikipedia! I usually make graphics with the program Adobe Illustrator, which I use simply because I'm used to (it costs money as is on a subscription model). Most other users use a program called Inkscape which is free and arguable better than Adobe Illustrator, and I use it sometimes. When I make maps (such as the one on the right) I use a "GIS program" (a program that can process geographic data, e.g. boundaries and roads) called ArcGIS to process data and make maps. If you have any further questions feel free to ask :). — Berrely • Talk∕Contribs15:25, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for subscribing to TheWikiWizard, as you may know, the next issue of TheWikiWizard, was supposed to be ready and delivered to your talkpage (or the page you subscribed to receive the newsletter) on the 20th. However, due to Tsugaru (User:つがる) being busy with exams, and having some problems logging into his Wikipedia account, the next Issue of TWW has been delayed. The next issue should be ready in around one weeks time. Thanks for your patience and understanding, and we hope you will enjoy the next issue! -- つがるTalk to つがる:)🍁02:45, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
