This thread, opened by Joe Sutherland, Lead Trust and Safety Specialist with the Wikimedia Foundation, concerned the WMF's actions at the Caesar DePaço article in August, whose surrounding events were covered by the Signpost at the time.

RFC: Adding featured and good content status to the tagline 202115 359 169 2025-07-08 02:33:00 2025-09-05 07:49:00

Pursuant to a previous consensus at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources, Alenoach proposes a bot to reformat articles with list-defined reference sections from {{reflist|refs=...}} to <references>...</references>. The purpose is to make them compatible with the visual editor, which for unclear reasons has never been fixed to work with list-defined references (despite a Phabricator ticket for this bug being open for more than a decade).
