Events and news

Wikiversity users frequently discuss proposed changes to our project policy; these may take the form of new proposals, amendments to existing policies or guidelines, or straw polls. These discussions generally take place on relevant talk pages. They may also occur at Wikiversity-Beta, on IRC, and on our mailing list.

The Colloquium provides a central area both for giving notice of discussions elsewhere and for debate itself. Despite regular archiving, these pages tend to grow rather lengthy. It's not always easy to know what issues are active.

The box template {{cent}} is a centralized list of ongoing policy discussions and polls. It is found on pages where such debate takes place and, of course, you may refer to it directly at any time. Editors maintain this list by adding ongoing discussions and polls and by periodically removing inactive issues.

Like any tool, this may be misused. Kindly exercise restraint, assume good faith, and allow process to take its course. Please don't add new policy ideas indiscriminately; trial balloons are better floated at Wikiversity:Colloquium. This template should be reserved for ongoing discussions. Remember, its usefulness is in inverse proportion to its size.

Before joining a debate, it might be wise to gather some background, especially on complex or long-standing issues. Please be courteous to your fellow editors and read existing discussion before adding your own comment. It's hoped that {{cent}} will contribute to the opening of policy debate and the broadening of consensus; but of course no good purpose is served by uninformed comment. Stay cool!
