Increase goal from 2000?

We nearly always get beyond 2000 pages done each month (since the challenge started in May 2021 we met the goal every month except for July & August 2021). It might be better to increase the goal -- maybe to 3000 (or 2500). It is set with the **target** field in Module:Monthly Challenge/data (e.g. Module:Monthly_Challenge/data/2022-10.

Removed work from task list

There needs to be more appropriate means and clarity around works being added to the lists. I have removed the work Index:A Compendium of Irish Biography.djvu from the activity list as it has a level of complexity and I don't believe that it is appropriate for addition to the challenge. I would suggest that if a work is being considered to being added that it is created on a pending monthly list prior to addition so that a review can occur. Probably also worthwhile drawing up some criteria on what sort of works can and should be on the list, and some works that should not be added to the list. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:02, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Adding an "easy works" section

See title. Might be a good place to point newcomers; these easy works would require little in the way of complex formatting or templates. Thoughts? Arcorann (talk) 09:19, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
