Issues
[edit]- Creation of "Editor Collab." tab due to guests usurping "Talk" for a discussion/debate forum. Would keep relevant editor collaboration seperate, but still encourage more participation.
- Decision: Vote on it.
- Decision: Keep it around.
- Shortening {{DR}} lifecycle.
- Decision 1: Copyvio pages should be speedied and sources should be reposted by the deleter
- Decision 2: DR lifecycle should be 48-72 hours. Vote on wiki. No renomination unless a major change has occured.
- WNN
- Decision: WNN (as a streaming version of Audio Wikinews) can work in theory, but needs to be revamped.
- portal/neighborhoods
- Indecisive. More talk needed.
- Naming sports articles such as the "UEFA CL" series.
- Decision: Preface all sports articles with "{sport-name}:" — and reprogram DPLs to replace {sport-name} with a tiny image representing the sport when rendering pages like main page.
- Aside: European Football/Soccer will be prefaced with "Football". USA soccer will be prefaced with "Soccer" and USA Football will be prefaced with "Am. Football".
