Ok, so it seems the redirect to WWW would be better than language

Before I switch it from the English mobile (current) to WWW, we have to

Subbu, one of the chief complains I heard about Lila was that she did not
provide a clear vision. Yet, if we choose stewardship over leadership,
that, at least in my mind, implies more of a mediator than a leader,
without providing any clear vision themselves. So is vision no longer a
requirement

Ilana, restricting wishlist to non-Wikipedia this year is a very sad news.
For many years, wishlist survey was the best way for the community to talk
back to the foundation, and to try to influence its direction. WMF mostly
ignored these wishes, yet it was still a place to express, discuss,
I second that. It always amazed me that the community that has built the
entire site does not have the majority in deciding the future of the site,
and this seems to make it even less so.
