Next issue (April 7)

Please keep discussion to appropriate areas. Add a note here if you are planning on writing a story.

The deadline for story completion is Monday, 17:00 UTC
The current time is Wednesday, 15:04 UTC. Update

If you want to write a special story about something that happened and has been reported in the news, please write down the topic below as soon as possible, to avoid me duplicating effort in "In the news". enochlau (talk) 07:54, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Special stories
    • Anyone want to cover the April Fools' stuff? Note that a good story will focus a lot on community response to the events of the day. If not, I'll take it. Ral315 (talk) 08:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
    • User:OhanaUnited/Sister Projects Interview/Meta OhanaUnited 07:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
      • It is kind of short, but that's pretty much all we can say about Meta.
        • There's more to say about Meta. Let's hold this interview for a week. Ral315 (talk) 03:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
          • What else should I add? OhanaUnited 04:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
            • That's the $64,000 question :) I know that a Meta overhaul was attempted in late 2006 or 2007, moving MediaWiki pages from Meta to MediaWiki.org, and changing a few other things. I don't know what ever came of it, or whether the overhaul was ever fully completed. That would be a good thing to look into.
            • Also, you could probably cover some of the process pages there -- things like Board and steward election coordination, requests for new languages, requests for closing projects, etc -- how they work, particularly. This could be done either via interview, or as a longer introduction to the interview. Ral315 (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
    • I'd like to see a story on the "No free image" placeholders that have recently proliferated on biography articles, and the centralized discussion about whether or not they should be used. I'd be happy to write it up (perhaps mostly copying the text that introduced the discussion.) This issue stands to affect about 50,000 Misplaced Pages articles in a significant way, and many more depending on what policy/guideline is adopted. Broad participation in this discussion is sought. -Pete (talk) 16:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
