The results of this survey will determine what software the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Tech team will work on next year. Voting on the proposals will take place from November 16 to November 30, 2018. Specifically, there is a proposal category for admins and stewards that may be of interest.

  Arbitration

TFA template

Did you want to look into having TFA Protector Bot put a null template on TFAs, like we discussed? I am okay with the parser function idea you had too, so long as I don't need to pst variables in the edit filters. I suspect those will be too slow. Like I said if the bot adds the template just after midnight, etc., it's no biggie. Anyway, if you're busy with other matters, I'm happy to take on this task.

Automated cleanup tagging

  Newbie-nursing award
Thank you very much for your contributions towards this excellent Wishlist proposal on adding inline cleanup template buttons to automated editing tools such as Twinkle and Huggle. It seems like it could substantially increase newbie retention[8] and save the wikis from slow death by ever-declining editor numbers. Best wishes for your newborn idea!

TFA Protector Bot

Not sure what's going on with the bot ... Dec 7, 8 and 9 TFAs weren't move-protected, and there may be more, I haven't gone through all of them yet. It did cover the 10th. I've done the 7th by hand. - Dank (push to talk) 04:40, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

It also missed the 14th and the 26th through the 29th. - Dank (push to talk) 05:07, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
