I'm not exactly sure how a lot of these things work, but would it be
possible to allow open editing in only the talk namespaces, but not anywhere
else? That way the members could have their private space, and the peanut
gallery is kept from interfering but can still participate to a limited
Hi Michelle,
We could certainly try that as a matter of policy - as in, simply
communicating that rule clearly to all comers - I'd happily be
prepared to do some of the legwork in explaining how that works to

I was more interested in seeing if this could be enforced by technology,
maybe so that unconfirmed users simply didn't get an edit button on other
name spaces.

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anything happened on this front? - It'd be
great to somehow open some aspects of WMAU up - ideally as soon as
possible! - are the committee discussing things further? (if so,
please just consider doing something - or at least discussing openly
:-) - pretty much any

Wikimedia Australia has been working on a process for proposals, and
this proposal did not follow the process.

oops,
my apologies for not having followed the process I'll do my best
to read up on how to follow it properly, and then give it another go.
The page basically just suggested that WMAU should allow registration,

ps. I think one of the key aspects to the proposals process that I
bungled on is that an idea should have the support of at least 2
members before being formally raised on the wiki could I ask if
any member out there is minded to support the notion? Hope so!
cheers,

I'm not engaging in this debate again. It's been argued to death
already. It's ridiculously obvious to me why it WMAU should be
editable, and the fact that it still isn't tells me that WMAU is

Hi,
The part I'm not sure of is what parts of the Wiki people would wish to
change. There are sections which clearly can't be publicly editable, such as
the rules and minutes, but I'm assuming that there are other sections -
perhaps events? - which would be of interest to non-members for
A more basic question is why are non-members still non-members?
I have not renewed my membership partly over this issue. (As I said
previously: it shows WMAU is either moving at a glacial pace or is
being run by people who simply do not share my values.)
