CZ Talk:Managing Editor/2010/008 - Modifications to the Charter/Working copy
Linguistic errors
There are some linguistic inaccuracies in the current Charter. They shall be collected here first, then corrected in the working copy.

- I have corrected the two above and some more in this working copy. Further suggestions welcome. --Daniel Mietchen 01:25, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Suspending the Charter
Whether and how that is possible, desirable or otherwise important is currently being discussed in this Forum thread. If concrete suggestions to modify the Charter emerge from that discussion, please link the relevant post(s) from here. --Daniel Mietchen 23:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Adding links
I think that the Charter would be much more useful if it contained links to subordinate policy documents, so that these latter ones would become more easy to discover than they are now. I thus propose that the working copy be enriched with relevant links, irrespective of whether those pages already exist or not. --Daniel Mietchen 23:33, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- That is a very good point. The Charter is much less useful, to Citizens and non-Citizens alike, for not linking to the policies it describes.
- For example, Article 2 is in a way being discussed on the Forum just now. Article 2 reads "Citizenship shall be open to anyone who fulfills the basic conditions for participation as defined by the Management Council" but it doesn't link to the basic conditions defined by the MC. There is also no link to the MC itself, and that link is not as easy to find on CZ as, say, the EC link.
- The Charter is backed up by various policy pages and it would be nice to have links in there to make navigation easier. David Finn 07:24, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Done with first round. Not sure whether we should link all mentions of a term for which a policy page exists or would be desirable. Have currently done so only for the first mention of a term and for some later mentions if the term is really central to an article. Further suggestions welcome. --Daniel Mietchen 01:25, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- Good work Daniel. I think this approach of linking the first term and subsequent important uses of the term is a good one. One thing this shows is how many redlinked pages there are - I have listed all the linked topics at the bottom of the page underneath the Charter articles for the duration of this draft. That way we can see at a glance what policy pages we have and what ones we need. David Finn 09:27, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
