Guideline and policy news

• A request for comment found consensus that incubation as an alternative to deletion should generally only be recommended when draftification is appropriate, namely 1) if the result of a deletion discussion is to draftify; or 2) if the article is newly created.

Technical news

• The filter log now provides links to view diffs of deleted revisions (phab:T261630).

Arbitration

• The 2020 CheckUser and Oversight appointment process has begun. The community consultation period will take place from September 27th to October 7th.
• Following a request for comment, sitting Committee members may not serve on either the Ombuds Commission or the WMF Case Review Committee. The Arbitration Committee passed a motion implementing those results into their procedures.

Miscellaneous

• The Universal Code of Conduct draft is open for community review and comment until October 6th, 2020.
• Office actions may now be appealed to the Interim Trust & Safety Case Review Committee.

Question

I have created two proposals on the talk page of the main page regarding alphabetical order and capitalization. Would it be appropriate to add an RFC tag to it or does the page have a sufficient amount of watchers to comment on? Interstellarity (talk) 13:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

It wouldn't be inappropriate but I agree that it's probably unnecessary. Personally, I'd give a normal discussion a try and would only start an RfC if said discussion got archived with no consensus either way. Whatever you decide, do post a note about the discussion to Portal talk:The arts if you haven't already. 78.28.55.139 (talk) 15:56, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help, IP editor. I advertised the discussion on the portal talk page. Interstellarity (talk) 16:12, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
