Wikipedia:WikiProject Democracy
| WP Democracy | Development | Meta | Other languages |
Welcome to WikiProject Democracy! This project aims at improving and maintaining the democratic structures within the Wikimedia movement by:
- making them more visible,
- making participation in voting, elections, and centralized discussion easier by providing and spreading links,
- and building a forum and community of contributors who like the concept of democratic wiki collaboration and cooperation.
You are very welcome to participate!
- An open letter regarding the Wikimedia Foundation's potential disclosure of editors' personal information is collecting signatures.
- Should it be a requirement for all administrators seeking resysop to have completed their last administrative action within the previous five years?
- Extended-confirmed pending changes and preemptive protection in contentious topics
- Are portals encyclopedic, and are they appropriate redirect targets?
- Should recall petitions be limited to signatures only?
- Nominations for the Arbitration Committee elections
- Should the length of a recall petition be shortened?
- Striking others' comments from archives
For a listing of ongoing discussions, see the dashboard.
