- Make an edit notice for Template:Stewards/Elections 2018/Voters/Check to explain how the checking works: two years ago checks copied over stuff from the vote pages, moved users manually between the sections, etc.
Translations
edit- Get all CentralNotice translations from last year back Stewards/Elections 2017/Translation/CentralNotice / Stewards/Elections 2017/Translation/CentralNotice / etc.
- Import old translations. Last year we switched to a new system, to avoid having to create all the pages again every year with the same content and then copying all translations, standing helplessly before messages where dates were translated etc. etc.
