[Wikimedia-l] New feature from Community Tech: Watchlist Expiry

[Ilana Fried]

Hello everyone,

I'm very excited to announce a new feature created by the Community Tech[1]
team: Watchlist Expiry. With this feature, you can optionally select to
watch a page for a temporary period of time. This feature is now available
on all wikis. It was developed in response to the #7 request[2] in the 2019
Community Wishlist Survey[3]. To learn more, you can check out the
Help:Watchlist_Expiry[4] page on Mediawiki.org, as well as the project
page[5]. Since this is a new feature, we invite you to share your
feedback. Thank
you, and we look forward to checking out your feedback on the project talk
page![6]

Thank you!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Call for insights on ways to better communicate the work of the movement

[Elena Lappen]

Hi again everyone,

Thanks to all of you who have signed up for a focus group or participated in 
the discussion so far. We have approximately 100 focus group sign-ups as of 
today, and will keep the participant survey open at least through the end of 
the day tomorrow, Wednesday 2 December. To sign up or for more details, visit 
the Movement communications insights Meta page [1].

I wanted to send a reminder (as noted on the Meta page) that we will be hosting 
office hours about this work tomorrow, Wednesday 2 December at 17:00 UTC 
[2][3]. Join us with your questions, initial feedback, and to collaborate on 
how to best structure some of the upcoming work. The recording of the meeting 
will be made available after.

Looking forward to talking with you then!
