How this works

For each Working Group and Guild, we have a wiki page to track its projects, efforts, & activities.

For example, we have the Security WG.

• At SecWG/Maintainers you can find a list of the people currently contributing to the working group, currently volunteering for ongoing responsibility. We're using a mw:subpage to keep it consistent & organized.
  • This page can be edited easily, and we have a clear history of past maintainers.
  • It's helpful here to also include a link to the subpage within the section that can be transcluded, so that no matter what other page it's transcluded into, anyone can easily click to view the authoritative source page.
• We can easily include the list elsewhere with {{:SecWG/Maintainers}}, which uses the template Template:... syntax, with the special : prefix to template-include (Main), instead of Template: namespace pages.

Consistency we need to provide elsewhere

• A /Maintainers subpage should exist on each working group or guild, which we can use as a reference target to selectively include a relevant summary, called mw:transclusion.

• Requesting users include current preferred best-contact methods on their user pages, preferably in the header section, that renders in previews on mouseover of User: links, e.g. User:LX

On other pages, where we want to reference the current maintainers, people to contact about an effort, we can include the list of their wiki user names (with individual contact information), and the many places we've included by reference all update when we make a change to the maintainers page.

Purpose of this page

This page aims to help standardize listings of who can help in the space. It aims to encourage use of subpages to list currently active maintainers, in a way that can be written once, and kept up to date by referenced inclusion, transclusion, elsewhere throughout the wiki. It's a method and pattern that helps bring helpful uniformity to
