All Wookieepedians are invited to attend the occasional Wookieepedia Mofference. Kindly don't be scared away by the name; we like to have all opinions at the meetings.

How to join the meeting

The Mofferences take place in our IRC channel, #wookieepedia on chat freenode.net.

For a list of IRC clients, see Wookieepedia:IRC. Freenode provides web access to our IRC channel via the freenode webchat gateway.

Users who use the webchat gateway to attend the Mofference may experience considerable lag during the meeting, when there is more activity than usual in the channel, and so it is recommended that a chat client such as ChatZilla be used if you wish to participate effectively.

How it works

The Mofference acts like a series of small Consensus Track threads. Before the meeting, users are allowed to add agenda items that will be discussed. The process during the meeting is as follows:

1. The proposer of the agenda item is voiced while the rest of the channel is muted. This allows the proposer to present their item without getting interrupted.
2. The channel is unmuted and a discussion about the proposal ensues.
3. After a short discussion about the proposal, a vote is started by an administrator. The vote is managed by an IRC bot written by Green tentacle, and voting is simple:
   1. ~support — supports the proposal
   2. ~oppose — opposes the proposal
   3. ~withdraw — withdraws your vote
4. When the vote has been open for a small while, an administrator closes it and checks if consensus has been reached.

Note that only users who meet our Single-issue voters policy will be allowed to voice their opinion during the Mofference.

Discussion of Agenda items is to be held at the Mofference itself, with the exception of procedural comments by administrators and affected users. Comments added to Agenda items will likely be reverted by administration.

Next meeting

The next Mofference is scheduled for Sunday, May 17 at 0:00 UTC, which is Saturday, May 16 at 8 PM ET in North America.

Agenda

This is the agenda for topic discussions at the Mofference. Everyone is welcome to add a topic to the list, which will be discussed and/or voted on by those present. Please keep in mind that should this list grow too long, some topics at the end of the list may be removed in the interest of time. Everyone is reminded that discussions on these topics should be reserved for the meeting and not discussed here.

1. Rename Wookieepedia:Single-issue voters to Wookieepedia:Voting eligibility policy. The policy has evolved over the years from its original, single, simple requirement designed to ensure that people weren't here exclusively to vote on something, to what is now a collection of half a dozen rules, most of which are aimed more at requiring that anyone voting on something be a currently active member of the community. It's time for the title of the page to reflect that evolution. Shortcuts are up for discussion, but I suggest deprecating WP:SIV and instituting WP:VOTE and/or WP:VEP as the new shortcut(s). —MJ— ^Holocomm 06:09, May 6, 2015 (UTC)
