Dear all,
Please review and comment on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees selection rules package from now until 29 October 2023. The selection rules package was based on older versions by the Elections Committee and will be used in the 2024 Board of Trustees selection. Providing your comments now will help them provide a smoother, better Board selection process. More on the Meta-wiki page.
Best,
Katie Chan
Chair of the Elections Committee

Seeking nominations for the UK Wikimedian of the Year Awards[eedit soorce]
The annual UK Wikimedian of the Year Awards recognise the efforts of the community that supports Wikimedia UK and helps us in our work.
There are three categories: Wikimedian of the Year, Partnership of the Year, and Up and Coming Wikimedian of the Year. Details of each category are on our website: https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/UK_Wikimedian_of_the_Year_2023
We are seeking nominations, and the form is linked to from our website. So if there is someone whose work you’d like to recognise, or a particular partnership, please nominate them. You can nominate in one category or all of them. It is helpful to make the nominating statements at least a few sentences long.
We will announce the winners at the online community day that we have planned for late November. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (tauk) 15:56, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Coming soon: Reference Previews[eedit soorce]
A new feature is coming to your wiki soon: Reference Previews are popups for references. Such popups have existed on wikis as local gadgets for many years. Now there is a central solution, available on all wikis, and consistent with the PagePreviews feature.
Reference Previews will be visible to everyone, including readers. If you don’t want to see them, you can opt out. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews unless you disable the gadget.
Reference Previews have been a beta feature on many wikis since 2019, and a default feature on some since 2021. Deployment is planned for November 22.
