Movement Strategy and Governance News – Issue 5

edit

Hey all,

As you may know, I'm a facilitator with a team called Movement Strategy and Governance. We've recently re-designed the Universal Code of Conduct News, and it will now appear as the Movement Strategy and Governance News.

I've added some direct links in the shortened version below, if you want to skip right to the subjects for this issue. Please let me know if you have any questions. The Movement Strategy and Governance team is inviting input about the newsletter (past, present, future) at m:Talk:Movement Strategy and Governance/Newsletter.

Two categories for the same topic?

edit

I am just wondering why the categories:

both exist and which one should be chosen to house Optimal public health? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (discusscontribs) 16:43, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think Justin's interpretation is correct. All of this content should be in Category:Public health. A specific course titled Public Health could use Category:Public Health if the course author desired. I'll move all of the current Category:Public Health into Category:Public health. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 15:40, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Outcome

edit

There is weak support and no opposition. @DannyS712, Evolution and evolvability, and Koavf: Would one of you be interested in interface administrator rights to add the gadget for us? -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 01:45, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dave Braunschweig sure, I can bring it over. Technically, as a GS I can already edit sitewide JS files, but since I'm a member of the community and helped draft the interface admin policy I don't feel comfortable using my GS access to do this. So if you want to grant me rights for a few days, I can add it as a gadget (not enabled by default). DannyS712 (discusscontribs) 02:17, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712 Granted. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 02:43, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dave Braunschweig  Y Done - imported the relevant pages (using import for attribution) and confirmed that the gadget is working. If there are no issues in the next few days I'll remove the interface admin rights (or they'll just expire if I forget). Let me know if I missed anything. --DannyS712 (discusscontribs) 03:01, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712 I tested it. It works for me. Thanks!
Note to others, if you enable the gadget, you still need to select Dark Mode (or Light Mode) at the top of a page to switch back and forth. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 03:15, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
