  •   Support a natural extension of the Wiki Loves Women project -- Islahaddow (talk) 11:36, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
  •   Support yes of course. THIS SAID, I would like to propose that we try to track all those WLW edit-a-thons through the set-up of a global WLW programme on the event dashboard, in a similar way than other global projects do. There is already one such thing, but it was never really used and needs to be refreshed and open largely. https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/campaigns/wiki_loves_women/overview. I would like to propose that one of the required piece of this grant be that edit-a-thons get recorded as part of the global wlw campaign. That's hardly additional work and it brings so much benefits when running events ! Anthere (talk) 21:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
