chess templates
I'm new here and I noticed there's a chess book titled "Chess Guide for the Intermediate Player" it's very poorly written so I want to redo its writing and write some more stuff from scratch, but I've got a problem with the templates for adding chess positions, is there some way I can convert FEN to chess diagrams?

 * Is there any way that you can reword this for those of us who don't know what "FEN" is? There are not many persons who watch this page and not many who are familiar with notation styles for chess. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:27, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * hello, thank you for taking the time and responding to my query, FEN is a notation with the purpose of giving someone all the information necessary to restart a chess game from a particular position
 * so when making a wikibooks chess diagram I'd like to be able to input a FEN and the diagram will be drawn for me, however I couldn't find any template using FEN instead I had to set up the position myself in some pretty unfimiliar way Doctorbeak (discuss • contribs) 09:31, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It seems like w:en:Template:Chess diagram-fen or possibly w:en:Template:Chess diagram will do that, correct? If so, ask an admin to import it. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, thx for the help
 * just one last small question, what is the appropriate place to ask the admins to import it? Doctorbeak (discuss • contribs) 13:04, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

 *  m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/U4C Building Committee/Announcement - Review • 

Hello all,

I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

Best, 

RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 15:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
