Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.

Miscellaneous

Might want to bump up the protection to EC there, see Special:Contribs/Enjoy24Pretzel. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 17:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

DatBot Pending Changes updater appears stalled
User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow Hey DatGuy, it looks like User:DatBot/pendingbacklog hasn't been successfully updated since 2024-06-06 9 AM UTC (which seems to be right before the current pod came up). Also error logs show a bunch of page protection issues right before it stopped working, but that might be unrelated since the changes were still succeeding the last time that file had updates and I didn't see any changes to page protection levels. Definitely not an urgent issue, just figured I'd flag it if you weren't already aware. Thanks! Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 23:21, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
