ppelberg removed a project: Editing-team (Kanban Board).

I'm afraid that pinning a paper page onto a tree in the park and crossing fingers that folks may pass that tree in the park to spot the page (means: no linking apart from listing it as a subpage), and content-wise assuming that anyone already knows how to create a ticket, and crossing fingers that someone may keep this page updated with regard to "current" team projects or changes in team names and people in a team, while its parent central team page at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Editing_team&oldid=4901897 already has outdated info (no more GCI, future tense on "Projects"), will only increase WMF's documentation mess.

More important, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editing_team#How_to_work_with_us looks like prior work; I don't think that duplicating content helps keep content non-outdated. To me the original approach proposed in this task looks like the opposite of "collaborating more effectively". I'm going to boldly reopen.

More constructively speaking, I guess I propose removing https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editing_team/How_to_work_with_the_Editing_team and moving its relevant content to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editing_team#How_to_work_with_us

Thanks @Aklapper for keeping us accountable. We temporarily closed this as it felt less important for us to work on now. I will look into this in January when I come back from break.

Eh, thanks! <3 I've made two small updates on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editing_team (and I'd also be happy to help merge and/or add some links if wanted, just that I'm never sure how much I might step on toes when it comes to making non-trivial changes on team pages). :)

@VPuffetMichel: Hi, I boldly went ahead in https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Editing_team%2FHow_to_work_with_the_Editing_team&type=revision&diff=5026905&oldid=5026866 and https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Editing_team&type=revision&diff=5026903&oldid=4978135

Feel free to make further enhancements/changes. Proposing to close this ticket as resolved.
