Endowment tax form, Wikimania, elections, U4C, fundraising and a duck!
And how do we know?
Five-year journey comes to healthy fruition.
Wikimedians from around the world will gather in person and online at the twentieth annual meeting of Wikimania.
As well as "hermeneutic excursions" and other scientific research findings.
The report covers the Foundation's operations from July 2023 - June 2024
A step towards objective and comprehensive coverage of a project nearly too big to follow.
Drawn this century!
How data from the Wikipedia "necessary articles" lists can shed new light on the gender gap
Annual plans, external trends, infrastructure, equity, safety, and effectiveness. What does it all mean?
Rest in peace.
Wouldn't it be nice without billionaires, scandals, deaths, and wars?
If you are too blasé for Mr. Blasé and don't give a FAC.

G10 deadname redirects
[edit]- {{Db-g10}}
- I'm nominating this under criterion [[WP:G10|G10]] as I don't believe it's appropriate to draw attention to it with a RfD for this matter, considering it pertains to the [[WP:DEADNAME]] of a living individual. This deadname is not mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia. [[WP:RFD#DELETE]] #3 states "The redirect is offensive or abusive, (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.)" and deadnaming a trans person is considered both offensive and abusive.
- I'm nominating this under criterion [[WP:G10|G10]] as I don't believe it's appropriate to initiate a RfD for this matter, considering it pertains to a [[WP:DEADNAME]] of a living individual which is already under strict oversight sanction on Wikipedia. This deadname is not mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia. [[WP:RFD#DELETE]] #3 states "The redirect is offensive or abusive, (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.)" and deadnaming a trans person is considered both offensive and abusive.

We remain committed to access to humor as a human right. We are working to ensure that everyone can access and share humor in The Signpost. This regards active litigation, and this page will be updated when we are able to find a funny writer to write this column. |

Ideas
[edit] | Ideas to keep in my userspace per my uncertainty about the time and technical limitations they would take to implement. |
The Signpost ideas
[edit]- 01:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Signpost: namespace. The Signpost has long outgrown the Wikipedia: namespace. It is a walled garden that is isolated from everything else in the Wikipedia: namespace.
- 01:15, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – When the webpage of a piece loads, similar to a section redirect, jump down to have The Signpost header appear at the top. The reader can scroll up to view the Wikipedia header if they wish.
- 01:16, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Column titled 'Gazette' which includes all of the recent newsletters (such as Administrators' newsletter and The Bugle). I believe the Admin newsletter is updated monthly, so if there are two issues of The Signpost in the same month, it'll be the same in both.
- 01:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Retire signpost.news website as an unnecessary duplicate. Keep the domain and mask the
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost
part, so links to Wikipedia can also be masked ashttps://en.signpost.news/2024-01-01/Discussion_report
. - 01:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Create usergroup 'Signposter' and restrict viewing of some Signpost pages to writers of The Signpost. I believe this is already technically possible in MediaWiki. It is confusing to me why the pieces are public before they are published.
- 01:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC) – Create scroll subscription template by series. Readers have different interests. Like on my userpage (which is a hodgepodge mess) those who subscribe to 'hoaxes' and/or 'arbitration' will only see those pieces in their template.
