Hi everyone,
Please find the annual report of the Wikimedia Stewards User Group with the
new affiliate health template here.
The overall evaluation of the group reads as follows:
Where the new stewards clerks were most important (governance) step in 2023,
the much closer conversation with the Wikimedia Foundation and other
functionary groups in Discord fostered the progress of this group in the last
year. With a new Stewards Conference at the horizon, the health of the
Wikimedia Stewards User Group and its members seems to be improving.
Nevertheless, with new technical challenges and solutions like temporary
accounts, global blocks, etc., the number of tasks and conversations for our
group is rapidly growing. And there is still a huge need for new stewards,
especially from underrepresented regions, for the daily work. All in all, with
the establishment of the U4C, the stewards role seems to be getting more
technical than ever before. This clearer focus seems to be more attractive for
this role and led to a slight increase in members and participation.
Altogether, 2024 has been a good step forward for the stewards and global
community governance. For 2025, we hope that the role of stewards can emerge
even further and that we can continue serving the global community in the best
possible way.
Best,Martin/DerHexer
