I work to revertvandalism and also on NFL and sometimes other sports related topics. Recently, I have been helping to fix typos and other small mistakes.

As part of the ongoing court case Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation, the WMF has received orders from the Delhi High Court to disclose personally identifying information of editors in a sealed cover letter and is considering complying.
Should the English Wikipedia blackout all of the site for 2-3 days in protest of this?
Should a new pending changes protection level - extended confirmed pending changes (hereby abbreviated as PCECP) - be added to Wikipedia? AwesomeAasim 19:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Add the tag {{rfc|xxx}} at the top of a talk page section, where "xxx" is the category abbreviation. The different category abbreviations that should be used with {{rfc}} are listed above in parenthesis. Multiple categories are separated by a vertical pipe. For example, {{rfc|xxx|yyy}}, where "xxx" is the first category and "yyy" is the second category.
Should the following text -- or text to the same basic effect -- be added to Petition section, at the end of the main text, right before the field to start a new page (or elsewhere):
As with any petition, all that is wanted is signatures. Any editor may and should remove any material found on a petition page except for the nomination and signatures. Any exceptions should be discussed and agreed to on the talk page first.
Yes or no? Suggestions of changes to the text are of course invited. Herostratus (talk) 05:06, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
To anyone unfamiliar with this, admin recall is a new process that is exactly what it sounds like. Currently, there is a 30 day petition period: if 25 people sign it, the admin then needs to pass a new RfA within 30 days to keep the tools. Should we change the petition period?
Option A: Keep the petition period the same (30 days)
Option B: Change the petition period to 7 days
Option C: Some other time period (like 14 or 15 days?) that's longer than a week but shorter than a month.
WP:PANDORA has become a hotpoint of contention in RfD. Should it be removed, or rewritten? If it should be rewritten, what changes should be made, and what can be salvaged?
I'd like to open by directing everyone's attention to this essay I wrote: WP:BACKINBOX. It was written as a reply to anyone attempting to use WP:PANDORA in good faith, listing the many issues I and many others at RfD have with it. (This was, well, before I was told that doing this might be a good idea.)Scrolling up here on the talk page, you'll also find reference to the fact that this essay, WP:COSTLY, did not originally contain WP:PANDORA-- it was added in 2019, without consensus, by user:The Man in Question, who... as of yet has still not appeared in the talk page to discuss it. It has since been treated as a guideline essay by many a user here in RfD, despite... well, the numerous problems the section has. You'll also find that a discussion on this topic already exists, having been opened back in 2019, with... no resolution. I'm going to go ahead and ping the ones who took part in that discussion, so they might give feedback for the newer one-- user:Thryduulf, user:Steel1943, user:Crouch, Swale, user:Rosguill, user:Tavix, user:Uanfala, user:Sonicwave32, user:Chris troutman, user:Nabla, user:FOARP, user:ComplexRational.

WP:TPO details several instances of comments that are appropriate to remove from talk pages, such as vandalism, spam, gibberish, and test edits. Does this apply to archived talk pages as well? I will post a more detailed statement and further context in the replies. Gnomingstuff (talk) 17:30, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
