===Community noticeboard inaugurated=== |
|||
A new noticeboard has started operation after being suggested by [[User:Durova|Durova]]. The [[Wikipedia:Community noticeboard|Community noticeboard]] is intended to serve as a forum for community input and decisionmaking. It serves as a counterpart to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|administrator noticeboards]]; these are also open for all members of the community to participate, but tend to see less participation by non-administrators on account of their names. |
