• In #Previews of references, the term category is used in a way unrelated to technical meaning of that term on wikipedia. I had to go read the docs (don't tell my friends I RTFM!) to know that it instead actually meant "web, journal, book, news, generic ref" rather than some sort of WP:CATEGORY concept. Maybe better to say something involving the word "type" or maybe "source format"? DMacks (talk) 22:34, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
  • The article did actually use the term type until a few hours prior to publication [1]. I've changed it back to type, with a link to the explanation. - Evad37 [talk] 03:32, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
• Did the Community Wishlist proposal/vote periods not get Wikipedia:Watchlist notices this year? Or did I miss them? czar 01:01, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
  • There wasn't a watchlist notice this year (it was briefly discussed at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 177#Community Wishlist Survey 2020), and the Central notice was only for the wikis which could have wishes [2] - Evad37 [talk] 02:06, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
• The wishlist results have been posted to m:Community Wishlist Survey 2020#Results and next steps. Wikisource did quite well, getting four of the five top wishes. - Evad37 [talk] 02:20, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
