:Hey {{ping|Sj}} sorry - meant to post these edits from my staff account vs. volunteer. But on holiday leave - so was logged into volunteer account. Although either way for this particular edit... Anyway, to respond to your question. I am curious what your thoughts are on advantages of mirrored policies. My understanding is the origin of that is primarily related to restrictions placed on what was at that time Foundation Wiki. We have recently expanded capabilities on [[Governance Wiki]] (formerly Foundation Wiki) to greater facilitate community interaction (specificially allowing for translations and use of talk/user pages by SUL accounts) and reduce need for duplication. However, there may be advantages to duplication that has just not come up yet, so curious what you see as advantages as someone with more historical knowledge. Our desire has been to reduce the need for duplication as it has caused problems over the years, but I recognize there may be issues which have simply not come up in regards to housing them primarily on one wiki. --[[User:GVarnum-WMF|Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) &#91;he/him&#93;]] ([[User talk:GVarnum-WMF|talk]]) 07:19, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Mirror to Meta?

Hi @Varnent:, are you hoping to have all future policies on f.w.o only? It would be nice to maintain a full set of mirrored policies, like the Privacy and CoC pages. –SJ talk  05:33, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Hey @Sj: sorry - meant to post these edits from my staff account vs. volunteer. But on holiday leave - so was logged into volunteer account. Although either way for this particular edit...

My understanding is the origin of that is primarily related to restrictions placed on what was at that time Foundation Wiki. We have recently expanded capabilities on Governance Wiki (formerly Foundation Wiki) to greater facilitate community interaction (specificially allowing for translations and use of talk/user pages by SUL accounts) and reduce need for duplication.

It's good to have just a single set of talk pages and just one place to work on translations. But perhaps also worth doing something for WMF policies that scales well to those from other parts of the movement -- say having a complete category here of whose pages may be protected mirrors from a 'wiki of origin', w/ talk pages redirecting to that wiki. –SJ talk  03:48, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
