RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins edit
Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
- Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

trans flag at citogenesis edit
I just saw your additions to both trans flags and WP: citogenesis. I was wondering whether the trans flag (and specifically the helms flag becoming the 'default') would count for terms that become real on the citogenesis page. Just due to the nature of symbols for people and social movements and the helms flag has become a recognisable symbol. LunaHasArrived (talk) 16:20, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- @LunaHasArrived: The creator called it the "Transgender Pride Flag"], so Wikipedia is not the origin of the name of the flag. I think the section Wikipedia:List_of_citogenesis_incidents#Terms_that_became_real is only for cases where Wikipedia names something.
- My belief as posted at Talk:Transgender_flag#Origin_of_popularity_is_Wikipedia and Wikipedia:List_of_citogenesis_incidents is just that there were numerous trans symbols, but Wikipedia made this one the most popular.
- There could be different ways to group or present the info at WP:Citogenesis, and if you have ideas, then I would support and help discuss changes. Bluerasberry (talk) 14:32, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
