Minutes

 * 1) Second Layout Guide: Ratified the creation of an OOU Layout Guide on a separate page from the in-universe Layout Guide. New LG page will be hosted at Layout Guide/Out-of-universe, with WP:LG/OOU being its shortcut.
 * 2) Sourcing guide amendment: Sourcing will be amended to remove the "single insertion of a reference" clause. All reference notes will now adhere to the "ref name" format as standard.
 * 3) Infobox exclusivity. The following will be added to Layout Guide: "All infobox material must be detailed in the article proper, with the following exceptions:
 * 4) *"The out-of-universe 'era' field.
 * 5) *"The 'prev,' 'conc,' and 'next' fields of event infoboxes, which are not necessarily relevant to the article."
 * 6) *Atlas coordinates: Additionally, agreement to send question to Daniel Wallace and/or Jason Fry for clarification on the canonicity of map coordinates from The Essential Atlas and ideally creating a CT discussion based on their potential response(s)
 * 7) Civility: Civility is now full policy
 * 8) Succession boxes: The title field in succession boxes must now be sourced. The following statement will be added to Layout Guide: "Within the, there are six possible fields to insert information, all of which must be sourced:"
 * 9) Scroll box changes:
 * 10) *The following will be added to Sourcing and Layout Guide: "As a general rule, Wookieepedia recommends reserving scroll boxes for reference lists to articles that employ no less than forty to fifty individual references. However, this is by no means a hard figure, and final decisions for the use of scroll boxes should be determined by what best suits each individual article."
 * 11) *All content in Sourcing regarding the previous mandated figure of fifteen will accordingly be removed
 * 12) *Template:Scroll box will now stipulate that its default formatting is height=400px|width=100%
 * 13) *The following will be added to Sourcing and Layout Guide: "The standard scroll box size may be enlarged for certain articles, but this should be done only in rare cases for presentation purposes. Requests to do so should be made on the article's talk page or article review pages."
 * 14) Spoiler tag: For Layout Guide and Layout Guide/Out-of-universe, the tag will now be placed between the "Otheruses or Youmay tags" and "Maintenance templates" sections

 * 16) *The following item will be added to the Rollback "requirements" for successful nomination: "At least ten eligible Wookieepedians must contribute a vote."
 * 17) *The following item will be added to the Administrator "requirements" for successful nomination: "At least ten eligible Wookieepedians must contribute a vote, three of which must be administrators."
