The beginning of the meeting is lost. Below are what logs have covered.

Restrict backup accounts

The account policy states that users can have up to two accounts on the site, where one account is a backup. However, since the move, the staff position enables us to recover any compromised accounts. Restricting the backup account means that users should only have one account. They are still allowed to have a second one, but it should only be for a serious situation.

Should TuxBot be in this channel

Clear the to-do list

The to-do list has been inactive for a while with old tasks hanging on the page. Should we clear it and start from scratch?

Should we rewrite the news post policy

The blog posts are back, and so is the policy. The policy, however, is a little bit outdated. Should we rewrite it to make it fit with current times?

IRC Cloak requirements

Should we have a minimum requirement before users can get a @clubpenguinwiki/user/ IRC cloaks? This is to prevent us getting in trouble on other IRC channels.

Banner advertising

With banner advertising, we can advertise ourselves on other sites, and other Club Penguin bloggers also have the option to use our banners to recommend us. This would bring readers and users to the site.

Shrink Template:Expansion

The Expansion template is too eye-catching in the middle of an article. This proposal would reduce the size of the template to the same size as Wikipedia's Expand section template.

Creation of another CPPS

We now have the resources to run another Club Penguin private server. Should we do so? If we do, the new CPPS will be limited to CPWN users only.

Expand Help:Editing

Our help page on editing is not very helpful to new users when it comes to teaching them how to edit wikicode. Expanding it would help new users edit much more easily.

Possible treaty with Wikia

Since the move, we have been in conflict with Wikia. A treaty would end this conflict, but it may come with some sacrifices and consequences to this community.

New Welcome template

There's too much text in the welcome template. The proposal would modify the template so that it covers the basic points a new user should know.

Wiki birthday contests

Add a bit of fun to our wiki birthday by having a contest where one lucky user can win a Club Penguin related prize, such as a coin code, membership, or Game Day items.
