• Chat
  • Get an IRC client. Join #wikimedia-ai ^connect.
• User accounts
  • Wikimedia global account -- Works on Wikipedia, Commons, Meta, MediaWiki.org, etc.
    • This is also known as an SUL account or a CentralAuth account.
    • Register on any wiki. They all work the same.
      • You should name your account "<something like your name> (WMF)". (E.g. "Halfak (WMF)")
      • Use the {{User info }} template (e.g. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Halfak_(WMF)&action=edit) to create a user page on Meta (This is important! Don't create it on any other wiki.)
    • You can also have a volunteer account. You should cross-link between any volunteer accounts and your staff account. Use your staff account unless you're doing work as a contributor.
  • Developer account -- This is what all of our LDAP systems use
    • Create an account at https://idm.wikimedia.org/signup/
