All,
I tweaked the HTML titles in the support template on Meta to make it more explicit what it means to label a proposal as, say, "SR" or "SR pending".
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AWMF-support&actio... A full explanation of each code is displayed, as usual, upon hovering over the icon.
tldr: • I replaced "approved" with "reviewed" as we agreed that this is the most appropriate description of the role of RCom (i.e. we cannot give any kind of ultimate approval to a project: permissions to run a project can in principle be revoked at any time depending on several factors – community opposition, abuse, decision by WMF etc.) • I specified that "pending" means that a proposal has not been reviewed by the RCom (that's the default used by all projects when their page is created: the icon is marked as yellow) • I specified that removing the "pending" flag indicates that the project has been reviewed by RCom or WMF, the latter being for cases in which a project requires technical resources or access to private data held by the Foundation, which requires internal WMF approval. Removing the "pending" flag from this template marks the icon as green and a project as reviewed, so please be aware of this when you edit a project page.
Please let me know if you have any concern with the above changes.
Thanks Dario
