WP 1.0 Bot Beta
Hello! Your WikiProject has been selected to participate in the WP 1.0 Bot rewrite beta. This means that, starting in the next few days or weeks, your assessment tables will be updated using code in the new bot, codenamed Lucky. You can read more about this change on the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team page. Thanks! audiodude (talk) 06:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Regional District maps and infoboxes
Hi! I'm making a personal project out of generating up-to-date locator maps for Western and Northern Canada - so you might notice around the wiki that the Stikine Region's borders finally reflect the removal of Dease Lake, 11 years after it happened. While updating every page, I also created a simple infobox for every RD, bringing all 29 into a state of relative harmony. Since RD Chairs are elected fresh every year, these might take a bit of maintenance.

It looks like a separate set of RD locator maps were generated on Commons sometime last year, as one was posted on Metro Vancouver at the time I made my edit. But, they all use the Mercator projection, which significantly distorts areas across the province, so I don't have many qualms about replacing them.

Now, I'm merely an Albertan, so let me know if I screwed anything up. Awmcphee (talk) 01:30, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
