Well, I ask because I could probably make a spotlight request right now. I would prefer to finish the Spoiler Templates & redesign the Main Page first, but the only thing that’s absolutely necessary in order for us to meet the requirements would be to fill out the MediaWiki:Community-corner, which can be done within minutes. If you want, if you think having a social aspect would be worth it, then I can make the request now. Alternatively we can wait until Peace Talks is out, & I can endeavor to have the Main Page & the Templates done by then as well, that way they’ll come in a time when there’s actually activity. Whatever we decide about that, I’d like your permission to replace the “Featured Blogs” module with a large button leading to Discussions, mainly to encourage activity there if possible. You can see an example on this Test Wiki run by one of my fellow Councilors. Another thing to consider is the Community Development Team, which you can request to come through & fix things up. We aren’t very desperately in need of their help, but they could do the Main Page professionally (which is primary), as well as make banners for Special:Community, Discussions, & perhaps even remake the Wiki background. They’d probably also rearrange some Categories to optimize Search Engine results, rework the TopNav, & perhaps fix a few stub pages. If you want to try for that, & if you’re ok with some users playing around with the organization of the Wiki, they can be of some help (if they are willing to work here). You can see some examples of work from their Russian equivalents here & here, & you can see a work-in-progress here. What do you think?
