Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Draft Guidelines review needs your ideas and opinions

Hello, the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Draft Guidelines are open for review and comment. The Drafting Committee will start working on revisions and improvement after October 17, so it will be helpful to provide thoughts before then.

There is also a newly-published abstract that provides an overview of the draft guidelines.

We are also hosting a conversation hour on October 15, 2021 03:00 and 14:00 UTC, as well as another functionary consultation October 7 18:00 UTC (tomorrow).

On behalf of the Drafting Committee, many thanks to everyone who has given ideas so far. We hope to hear from more of you - the Guidelines will be much stronger if more opinions are included. Xeno (WMF) (discuss • contribs) 16:55, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Visual editor - Interwiki linking

It was possible to use the visual editor to add interwiki links - but something seems to have changed and it seems no longer possible? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:37, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, for me, Visual Editor has disappeared entirely now on Wikiversity and Wikipedia - anyone else? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:31, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary blip, I think - VE is back. But original question stands about interwiki linking. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:41, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is a Phabricator:T293310 bug report related to VisualEditor linking having recently been broken. It may be related. It looks like User:DannyS712 is familiar with this code. Perhaps he can confirm. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:27, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The code that I broke was fixed - are there any errors in the browser console when you try to interwiki link? DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 21:07, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thankyou Dave Braunschweig and DannyS712 - working again
