Call for feedback about Wikimedia Foundation Bylaws changes and Board candidate rubric[edit source]

Hello. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language.

Today the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees starts two calls for feedback. One is about changes to the Bylaws mainly to increase the Board size from 10 to 16 members. The other one is about a trustee candidate rubric to introduce new, more effective ways to evaluate new Board candidates. The Board welcomes your comments through 26 October. For more details, check the full announcement.

Thank you! Qgil-WMF (talk) 17:10, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page archiving questions/requests[edit source]

I recently tried to set up a Talk page archive using the standard Wikipedia method. The Talk header template recognizes that there are archive pages, but the links to them are broken, because it looks like it's missing Wikiversity versions of some of the sub-templates (specifically, Wikiversity:ARCHIVE and Template:Archive_list. Here is the page in question if you'd like to see what I mean:

Portal talk:Irish

I noticed the Colloquium archive is hard-coded in the Colloquium header template. Is there any alternative template scheme I should be using? Or is someone more comfortable with these templates than me interested in setting them up? It is a useful system, especially in the situation I find myself in (reworking an orphaned set of pages).

@Chapka: I've imported the template and module, and redirected back to Wikipedia for the Help: page. Please note that automated archiving won't work, at least as far as I know. The required bots don't run here. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 01:16, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Important: maintenance operation on October 27[edit source]
