Notices
Pre-migration old wiki notice (From dd/mm/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy)
You are on Wikimedia UK's wiki, a website that is currently hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. The hosting for this site will be migrated from the Foundation's datacenter to the Wikimedia UK's over the last week-end of September (28-29th September). It will not be possible to migrate non-public account information. This includes watch lists, account preferences, contact email, or current password for registered users. We will recreate 'stub-accounts' on the migrated site and will communicate to you your new password if you activate "Enable email from other users" in your user profile now! Want to know more?
