855:, from which a formal stable versioning policy may be adopted. Possible uses for stable versioning include the marking of stable versions for semi-permanent display, marking reviewed versions to aid in publishing Knowledge (XXG) articles, and allowing editing on protected articles while publicly showing the stable or reviewed version. Previous proposals had suggested using ratings for articles, but Vibber worried about allowing automated review. Code is being worked on that would allow stable versions to work for not only pages, but also for templates included in those pages (currently, viewing an old revision of a page will show the current version of all templates on that page). Vibber indicated that the likely time of arrival for stable versioning would be in one to three months.

username, that account would be named the global account, "winning" the right to use that username throughout
Wikimedia projects. Where a conflict exists (either multiple users with the same username, or one user with accounts on multiple projects), the account with the most edits would in most cases be named the global account. Next, all accounts with the same confirmed e-mail address would be matched up. All accounts with no edits would be re-assigned to the global account. For accounts still unmatched, upon login, passwords would be stored and matched (due to the way Wikimedia

Vibber acknowledged that conflicts will still occur, due to users with different e-mail addresses and passwords (some registered legitimately, others as impostors). The current plan is that if legitimate conflicts occur, minority account holders will have the option of renaming their account so that

Vibber's short-term goals are to allow users to register once in order to log in to any
Wikimedia site, and to reserve that username on all languages. During the transition, user accounts from all wikis will be added to a temporary database. In cases where only one account exists for a given

Stable versioning was also discussed at
Wikimania. Vibber suggested different ways that stable versioning could be used, including a short delay before changes appear, or explicit approval, in order to reduce the impact of vandalism. Experiments will be conducted on the
