Updates from Capacity Exchange (CapX)!
[edit]
Hello Xaosflux,
My name is Joris Darlington Quarshie, and I am an Outreach Facilitator for the Capacity Exchange (CapX) — a platform for finding and connecting with peers to exchange knowledge and skills on a global level.
CapX is a community-built tool, designed by and for the Wikimedia Movement, to make it easier for Wikimedians across the world to find and connect, collaborate, and exchange skills and knowledge with peers.
If you don't know it yet, I invite you to access capx.toolforge.org and create your user profile with your Wikimedia account. But, if you already have a profile, I invite you to check out the new features and possibilities we just launched. I am sure you will be delighted.
CapX's new version incorporates valuable community feedback gathered over the past months, including the Organization Profile - a feature for Wikimedia affiliates, initiatives, or community groups to create their own CapX presence (see here how to create yours).

May I close some of them procedurally instead? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 10:57, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
- Likely several best ways to deal with:
- If they are recent at all I suggest you to follow up with the authors
- If they are malformed/tests, you could nominate for speedy deletion.
- If they are single author pages that look to be abandoned, and the user seems to have left the project - you could nominate for standard deletion.
- In no case should they be placed in to the archives or the closed categories, as they were never fully opened, so they can't be concluded. — xaosflux Talk 11:12, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
