I’ve just got back into wayfarer after not being on for about 4 months and im wondering what’s new since I’ve been gone, any new rules about nominating/reviewing etc

Hello and welcome back…. Nice mural
Locally we suddenly seem to be embracing murals and having them done all over.

I think the key change as a wayfinder is that we finally have a wayfarer map.

Ready, Set, GO! The Wayfarer Map is finally here!

Global Wayfarer Challenge - Discussion

I don’t speak for staff, but can tell you that the last one was a disaster that had to be cut short. They ran out of nominations we could review. They will have to come up with a different kind of challenge in order to have another one. In my eyes, the non-reviewing challenge for submitting edits was also a disaster. Many people got slapped with warnings for spam for submitting what we thought were good edits, and many others did submit spam. I am not clever enough to come up with a different …
