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.
Should AFI nominations be held on subpages? These would transclude both onto the nominations page and the talk page of the nominated article. NewAccount7295 (talk) 17:48, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
Should any of the following be added to WP:ITNBLURB:
If reliable independent sources generally describe an election as not free and fair, ITN should generally not report or indicate this characterization.
If reliable independent sources generally describe an election as not free and fair and Wikipedia has an article surrounding this, consensus at ITN can develop to report or indicate this characterization.

I've been workshopping an option list for this RfC discussion a moment ago and settled on the version of the list that now appears below. Each of the first four options describes a specific proposal for condensing or collapsing draft decline notices (except for the latest one on each draft), and each of these four entries is accompanied by a collapsible box containing an example of how these proposals may look in action. Although essential, all that content was too much to be displayed at the RfC listing page, so I've expanded the paragraph above it and made it its own comment. – MrPersonHumanGuy(talk) 10:10, 25 July 2026 (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 "gender" be removed from the WP:EGRS guideline on "Categorizing by ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability"? Fram (talk) 09:46, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
Should nominations that have not received a response from the nominator be eligible for closure, ala DYKTIMEOUT? Here are some possible options, note that you can state a preference for more than one option:
Option A: Nominations can be closed if the nominator does not respond to the most recent comment or review within one week (notifying the nominator is not mandatory).
Option B: Nominations can be closed if the nominator does not respond to the most recent comment or review within one week, plus a ping or talk page message.
Option C: Nominations can be closed if the nomination is not approved within one week of a review starting.
Option D: Nominations can be closed if the nomination is not approved within two weeks of a review starting.
Option E: Status quo.
Option F: Nominations can be closed if the nomination is not approved within one month of a review starting.
This is a follow-up to the existing discussion regarding DYKTIMEOUT. Given that one of the reasons for the backlog is due to a large number of open nominations that spend weeks or even months without resolution. Given that it is common for nominations to go for a while without a response from the nominator, leading to languishing reviews, this is being proposed to add a soft time limit for nominations (independent of DYKTIMEOUT).

I propose removing the provision in Wikipedia:Political endorsements that allows local consensus to overrule our general policy that facts be sourced to independent reliable sources for organizational endorsements. Specifically, I propose striking the following sentence from the guideline: Local consensus can determine whether a specific list requires independent sources or sources connected to the organization itself, such as its website or official social media accounts.
