Discussion Reports And Miscellaneous Articulations

Note: Starting with this issue, a notice will be placed next to items which have been added since the last issue, for easier locating of discussions which you may not have known about.

Policy

New! Request for comment: Self electing groups: Should "unofficial" electable groups of Wikipedians be allowed?

Style

New! Request for comment: Full-date unlinking bot: Should a bot be allowed to unlink dates under this proposal? Specifically, unlinking only full dates with day, month, and year information, and not editing the same page twice to do so in case the edit is reverted? So far the community seems supportive of this proposal.
