Hi Maria et al,Yep, that's why it's there. There's no principled reason it couldn't be moved to the main namespace. You'd just have to get support from the Meta community. If a move is planned, let me know ahead of time so that I can update the configuration of relevant bots, gadgets and templates (shouldn't take long).J--On Fri, Aug 28, 2015 at 2:44 PM, Maria Cruz <mcruz@wikimedia.org> wrote:Hi Stevie,
Thank you for sharing this great Learning Pattern. I really like how you broke the solution into different points to consider.I believe the Learning Patterns were first created on the Grants namespace because the were (and still are) an initiative within the former Grantmaking department (now CE). It is one of the resources shared among grantees and volunteers alike. Cc'ing Jonathan, who was one of the first promoters, in case he can give further details.
Cheers,
María

An additional factor that made a difference was that the issue played into the British story about silly Brussels bureaucracy (regardless of whether this had been anticipated or desired by the Wikimedia movement). The general take-away from this is that it helps to recognize how a proposal can play a part in someone else's broader narrative, which in turn makes a knowledge of the wider political landscape valuable.
Best regards,
Karl

Hello everyone,
Thought you might be interested to see the learning pattern I've created on policy campaigning. It's very much focused on the freedom of panorama but there is scope to extend it.
Please do take a look and if you'd like, please feel free to edit! https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants:Learning_patterns/How_to_campaign_on_a_political_issue&action=history
Thanks and regards,
