Change the following

to
under the [[Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License|CC BY-SA 3.0]] and the [[Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License|GFDL]] licenses.
Since both CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL are licensees, it seems highly questionable to only say "license" after the first and not the second license. Neither "CC BY-SA 3.0" nor " CC BY-SA 3.0 License" is the license full name, so it doesn't have any legal difference. ( t) Josve05a ( c) 21:58, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

While a single contribution can include multiple individual "changes", it is only 1 change to the page as a whole, so an alternative is to change "changes" to "a change". Either way, they should either be both singular or both plural. Thanks, -- DannyS712 ( talk) 10:41, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi all. Maggie brought this to my attention since it’s a question about how the licenses work on Wiki. I took a look at the proposed change, and while I do see the standard verb agreement concern, in this case, the use of a plural or singular would not make a difference (either to “changes” or “contribution”) because the creative work that’s being referenced as being licensed is adequately clear regardless of which terms are plural, which means it's also legally effective regardless. This means we don't see a need to put through a change specifically to adjust this, although I can certainly make a note of the verb agreement for the next time that we need to update the licensing language. - Jrogers (WMF) ( talk) 20:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Change wmf:Terms_of_Use
to wmf:Temrs_of_Use/en
, as the first terms of use without en prefix redirects to the latter page, so it would be better to have it redirect to the actual target page.

In 2012 the text "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." was removed as it was already included in the native heading for the 2010 Wikitext editor, per MediaWiki:Editpage-head-copy-warn.
With the growth in usage of the 2017 wikitext and visual editors there is now no reminder to not add content that constitutes copyright infringement. There is sufficient space and, in light of the huge amount of copyright violation reports, primarily caused by inexperienced new users, I propose the aforementioned line is added back to the end, providing a link to copyright advice and helping remind new users that content must be sutiable for inclusion.

Please replace this with {{int:wikimedia-copyrightwarning}}
(the latter is a parser function that automatically internationalizes based on language) or delete this message since it is not used on Wikipedia, in a similar manner that
MediaWiki:Wikimedia-globalblocking-ipblocked is used instead of
MediaWiki:Globalblocking-ipblocked.
