According to ], there is no SUL for the account. ] does say that the wiki where the username has the most edits will become the home wiki, so I'm tempted to believe that that means you can't make an SUL if you don't own the account with the most edits though. Care to clarify? ] <small><span style="color:black">(]&nbsp;·&nbsp;])</span></small> 23:10, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
'''Updates:'''
:Correct. The user with the most edits holds the "claim" to the SUL and can enable it at any time. As such, we typically decline to process requests that either create new conflicts for that claimholder or that would have the effect of allowing an en.wiki editor to "slide into" the position of best claim. –]] 23:13, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
* ''']''': The Movement Charter Drafting Committee recently held the first conversations regarding the ]. The MCDC has received valuable feedback from different communities and the Committees during the community input period. The report of the community input will be shared in May, while the updated version of the ratification methodology will be presented between September and November 2023.
* '''Communication evaluation''': The Communications sub-committee of the MCDC together with the support staff conducted an evaluation of the communications. The Communications sub-committee appreciates the time and input of the community members who shared their opinions during the interviews. Several recommendations are going to be implemented in the upcoming period based on the valuable input.
* ''']''': The MCDC continues to draft additional chapters: The Global Council, Hubs, Decision-making and Roles & Responsibilities. Alongside the drafting work, the MCDC is planning their in-person meeting scheduled for 2-4 June in Utrecht, Netherlands with the aim of advancing the charter's content.

Not meaning to rush anything, I'm just wondering, how long does it take for an usurpation? What is the "hold period"? Cheers...

==Xenobot Mk V==
About the bot, if I type <nowiki><categorytree>Fictional characters</categorytree></nowiki> on ], would the bot work properly? Because that would ''really'' save a lot of my time. ] (]) 21:21, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
:No, not really. If you do that, you come across categories like ], ], ], members of which I assume are not in the scope of your project. I've recursed a few levels to give you an idea, see . –]] 21:40, 1 February 2011 (
::Ah, but I could do multiple category trees, couldn't I? I was thinking about typing:
::<nowiki><categorytree>Fictional characters by gender</categorytree><categorytree>Fictional characters by medium</categorytree><categorytree>Fictional characters by nationality</categorytree><categorytree>Fictional characters by occupation</categorytree><categorytree>Fictional characters by physical feature</categorytree><categorytree>Fictional characters by status</categorytree><categorytree>Fictional characters by superhuman feature or ability</categorytree><categorytree>Lists of fictional characters</categorytree><categorytree>Fictional duos</categorytree><categorytree>Characters by role in the narrative structure</categorytree><categorytree>Fictional character stubs</categorytree></nowiki>
::Pretty longwinded, but still a lot quicker than the alternative. (I think I still need to clean up those categories before I use the bot though. The Parent Trap films shouldn't be under "Fictional twins", should it?). ] (]) 09:00, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Yes, some category trees are a horrible mess. You might consider using ]'s list builder to try and make an exhaustive list. A category tree will never be safe for a bot to traverse. –]] 17:07, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

== Semi-protection request ==


<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap">
I’m not sure where to start, Xeno, on this request; but I would like to get ] semi-protected. I.P. editors (most often from England) strip out the example in the first paragraph lede where it gives the example of “Palestinian nation” (one of the definitions that more broadly refers to a community of people who share a common territory and government—''but who are not necessarily a sovereign state;'' and who often share a common language, race, descent, and/or history). There couldn’t be a better example of a ‘a nation of people’—that is not already a bona fide sovereign state—than the Palestinian people since the State of Palestine is today widely recognized by many sovereign states (although often in equivocal terms).
<div style="flex: 1 0 20em">


] '''Administrator changes'''
FWIW, I have zero axe to grind on this issue. In fact, on terrorist-related issues, I usually find myself arguing on the same side as those who would consider themselves pro-Israeli. None of that matters; I’m an equal-opportunity fact pusher. As you can see from the our registered editors and I have to step in too often to undo I.P.s out to make Misplaced Pages conform to an ideological message they’d like to push. ] (]) 05:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
