Dear community members,
Greetings from the EWOC Newsletter team and the education team at Wikimedia Foundation. We are very excited to share that we on tenth years of Education Newsletter (This Month in Education) invite you to join us by subscribing to the newsletter on your talk page or by sharing your activities in the upcoming newsletters. The Wikimedia Education newsletter is a monthly newsletter that collects articles written by community members using Wikimedia projects in education around the world, and it is published by the EWOC Newsletter team in collaboration with the Education team. These stories can bring you new ideas to try, valuable insights about the success and challenges of our community members in running education programs in their context.
If your affiliate/language project is developing its own education initiatives, please remember to take advantage of this newsletter to publish your stories with the wider movement that shares your passion for education. You can submit newsletter articles in your own language or submit bilingual articles for the education newsletter. For the month of January the deadline to submit articles is on the 20th January. We look forward to reading your stories.
Older versions of this newsletter can be found in the complete archive.
More information about the newsletter can be found at Education/Newsletter/About.

Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines ratification voting is closed - local voting statistics[edit]
Greetings,
The ratification voting process for the revised enforcement guidelines of the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) came to a close on 21 March 2022. Over 2300 Wikimedians voted across different regions of our movement. Thank you to everyone who participated in this process! The scrutinizing group is now reviewing the vote for accuracy, so please allow up to two weeks from the close of voting for them to finish their work.
The final results from the voting process will be announced here, along with the relevant statistics and a summary of comments as soon as they are available. Please check out the voter information page to learn about the next steps. You can comment on the project talk page on Meta-wiki in any language. You may also contact the UCoC project team by email: ucocprojectwikimedia.org
Best regards,
Movement Strategy and Governance

- Results from the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines ratification vote published
The Trust and Safety Policy team published the results of the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines ratification vote. The vote ended 21 March 2022. See the results and read more on Meta-wiki.

- @Xeno (WMF) @User:SNg (WMF) Are the results final now? I ask because someone reverted my edits. Does the world really have to wait for more final results, now 3 weeks after the vote ended? Also the 2 templates below need to be updated in "/en" subpage. Taylor 49 (talk) 19:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Taylor 49: The next steps are described in the message posted by SNg (WMF): Universal Code of Conduct/Enforcement guidelines/UCoC Phase 2 Ratification Results Announcement. In particular, "The Board will review input given during the vote, and examine whether there are aspects of the Guidelines that need further refinement." Feel free to propose any text changes you think are required on the talk pages and I can flag to the project team. Xeno (WMF) (talk) 19:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- @User:MarcoAurelio @Xeno (WMF) The information was and still partially is confusing. You mean that the board can change the document now, despite the YES-verdict? This is new to me. But the community verdict is presumably final and it is a YES. The template "Universal Code of Conduct/Navbox" needs to be updated in "/en" subpage. Taylor 49 (talk) 19:51, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- I am not sure why I am being summoned here as I am just a volunteer without any involvement in this project (except for a translation or two here and there) and I hope that Xeno (WMF) can be of better assistance. In any case, I think that the Board, as the ultimate corporate decision-making authority of the Wikimedia Foundation, is legally able to either go forward with the ratification as they announced they'd do, make a U-turn and decide not to (not sure if they'd be estopped from doing that considering their previous statement) or make amendments to both texts based on the input provided during the vote. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:23, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Further to the above: My reading of [a] threshold of above 50% support of participating users will be needed to move on to Board of Trustees ratification is that the Board will only take the document into consideration if the community vote got 50%+ of approval; not that the guidelines get automatically approved. Considering the significant opposition and that an approval of 57% would not be enough to change a comma of a policy in most projects I think it'd be good for the BoT to, at least, examine the community feedback provided both on wiki and in the comment box. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:56, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Two templates to be updated in "/en" subpage[edit]
De-indexing meta userpages?[edit]
It appears that userpages on Meta are indexed by search engines; see e.g. "Indexing by robots: Allowed" here. On places like en-WP, it's disabled for most non-public facing areas, including userpages, in part to discourage spam. Should we follow suit here? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 00:34, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Sdkb: Since this issue of wider significance for Meta-Wiki require community input, please refer to local RfC (or global RfC if you want to disallow indexing user pages altogether on all wikis). NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 02:27, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
It looks like the robots are tightly regulated over here with pages they cannot crawl to at all. From looking it appears there's sections that are disallowed for robots on this wiki, but yes, user pages (with some exceptions) are allowed to be crawled through. W.K.W.W.K ...Straight outta Underverse

Hello!
I don’t know what to do with Help:Navigational template: do you think it may be useful? If so, should we move it in antother namespace?
-- Pols12 (talk) 19:06, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- To me, it looks like Patrick was trying to separate this section from Help:Template. I think it can be helpful if someone is willing to update and rewrite it. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 19:40, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
