Thanks, Harej, for your additions. Just one small point: in line with Wikipedia conventions, the item on external links should be headed "External links" (not "External Links"). I cannot edit it without causing problems.-- Ipigott ( talk) 10:29, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
Another problem: I can't get our new navbox (e.g. at the foot of the main page) to link correctly to Press. It hits the right section for a couple of seconds and then goes to the project.-- Ipigott ( talk) 11:07, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
WP:Women in Red is using Love Heart KammaRahbek.SVG
as our logo. Can your team alter it to make it unique for WiR, e.g. perhaps change the color to red? Also, I like the simple logo used by
Wikipedia:Medicine and that it includes the Wikipedia globe; can we add the Wikipedia globe into the WiR logo? I've created a Women in Red Commons cat
[1] and placed this svg into it, but this should be temporary and we should have a unique logo in 2016. Thx. --

I added an External links section at the bottom of the page. The only way I could do it was to add it to Resources. Could you please make it a unique section? Thx. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 15:54, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
I've made 2 updates but the page isn't refreshing. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 16:42, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
We have discussed the navigation difficulties with (a) Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red. In hindsight, we should have left WiR at (b) Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red. We also talked about (c) Wikipedia:Women in Red; short and sweet, and makes me thing of Wikipedia:WikiWomen's History Month. From 60,000', and looking to the future (as the goal is to translate this brand into other language Wikipedias), what would be a best practice? What direction are forward-thinking en-wiki projects going with their naming conventions? If I edited on the es-wiki or de-wiki, and I wanted to replicate WiR, which of these en-wiki names would make the most sense? -- Rosiestep ( talk) 14:58, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:
Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.
During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.
We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.
This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.
Until next time,
Hello Harej, and happy Wikipedia @ 15. This is to notify you of Wiki Loves Nigeria Writing Contest organized by the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria to commiserate the 15th anniversary of Wikipedia. The contest will start on 28 January 2016 and end on 29 February 2016. Please help to suggest articles on notable Nigeria-related topic here and if you like to be part of the jury, add your name here. Thanks for your participation. Warm regards Wikic¤l¤gy t@lk to M£ 07:55, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
Dear Harej Sorry for taking so long to get to you. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with studying Chinese all day, working all night, to say nothing of all this business about working out. But thank you so much for inviting to join the project on Hampshire. I am very honored and much appreciated your kind invitation. Thank you for your kindness and please have a wonderful day! -- A.S. Brown ( talk) 21:43, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
James, can you please let me know when your team will move Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red to Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, or tell me that you don't have time for it? No worries if you're busy with other things, but please let me know either way. Thank you. (cc @ Ipigott, Megalibrarygirl, and SusunW) -- Rosiestep ( talk) 17:09, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.) you got a link, or something or this particular part of things. ?? JarrahTree 10:41, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
