The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:

Wikipedia talk:Did you know

The rules for DYK's review requirement currently provide that:

If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than five DYK credits (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ.

Should this be replaced with more comprehensive criteria as detailed below? E Eng 05:22, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones

Hello, fellow members of WPTC. Today I come to you with my first big proposal: to make the track map website that @CodingCactus: and I created (link) an official generator alongside the one that people use. We believe it is now up to speed, with it being pretty much exactly like the other generator. It takes manual input, and can parse HURDAT, IBTrACS, ATCF, and JMA best track files. It is much easier to use than the current track map generator. I would appreciate it if you take a look and offer your own comments down below. Thank you. codingcyclone ^advisories/_damages 20:33, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

+The [[WP:Did you know#Review requirement|rules for DYK's review requirement]] currently provide that:
-'''''Did you know ...''' that articles nominated for [[WP:Did You Know]] often wait months for approval?''
+:If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than five [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of DYKs|DYK credits]] (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ.

-Editors nominating an article for ''Did You Know'' generally must review someone else's nomination; this is called the QPQ (''[[quid pro quo]]''). But because new DYKers are allowed to make up to five nominations exempt from this requirement, there are always slightly more nominations coming in than reviews being performed, and over the years a large backlog has accumulated.
-To reduce this backlog, so that nominations can be reviewed more promptly, DYK regulars have !voted to change the [[WP:Did_you_know#Review_requirement|rules for DYK's review requirement]]. Those rules currently provide
-:''If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than 5 DYK credits (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ.''
-The proposal is to substitute this text:
-{{collapse top|1= Noble but imperfect first proposal}}

-:<del>''At the time a nomination is promoted to the main page''{{nbsp}}...</del>
-:* <del>''(a) if the nominator has fewer than 5 credits (whether or not self-nominated), no QPQ is required;''</del>
-:* <del>''(b) if the nominator has at least 5 credits but fewer than 20 credits, the nominator must do one QPQ;''</del>
-:* <del>''(c) if the nominator has 20 or more credits, the nominator must do two QPQs (if there's a backlog) or one QPQ (if not).''</del>
