This noticeboard's primary purpose is to to attract the attention of the clerks to a particular matter by non-clerks. Non-clerks are welcome to comment on this page in the event that the clerks appear to have missed something.
Private matters
The clerks may be contacted privately, in the event a matter could not be prudently addressed publicly (i.e., on this page), by composing an email to clerks-l
lists.wikimedia.org; only the clerk team and individual arbitrators have access to emails sent to that list.
Procedures
A procedural reference for clerks (and arbitrators) is located here.

Hello I just saw the suspended arbitration case and the suspension time is about to finish in around two weeks, so I’d like to say just check it every few days just as a reminder just in case anyone has forgotten about it. Maestrofin ( talk) 06:20, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
I created an amendment request through this link:
Click here to file a request for amendment of an arbitration decision or procedure (including an arbitration enforcement action issued by an administrator, such as a contentious topics restriction).
When I filed the clarification request, there was no edit summary (and no option for me to add an edit summary). Can support for an edit summary be added? Thank you. Cunard ( talk) 07:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- I admit I haven't the foggiest why you can't add an edit summary, so I defer to those who know the technical reasons. But if it is a headache to allow a summary, is there any downside to just doing a dummy edit immediately after for the summary?

- The preload includes
&nosummary=yeswhich prevents an edit summary being added. It was added by Callanecc in 2015. If I had to guess, the point is to avoid editorialising in an edit summary. Primefac ( talk) 07:25, 30 April 2024 (UTC)- I feel like at a minimum we should be using a preloaded summary then, even if it is as simple as "Adding request."

- Thank you both for looking into this. I hope that there is an easy way to add the edit summary by changing the text "&nosummary=yes" to a preloaded summary. Regarding adding a dummy edit afterwards, that's a good idea. The instructions say to add a notification link afterwards, which I did here so that has the same effect as a dummy edit.

- I don't think you can add an edit summary when creating a new section. As per Help:Edit summary § Section editing, the section title is used as the edit summary. Since the preloaded template adds the section title, when the "Subject" edit box is displayed (which occurs when the nosummary parameter is removed), I believe if the editor enters in a subject, two titles will get added. isaacl ( talk) 18:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
