Future changes

To adapt these “talk page boxes” for narrow mobile devices you can use media queries, such as in this example. [17]- Starting in January 2023, Community Tech will be running the Community Wishlist Survey (CWS) every two years. This means that in 2024, there will be no new proposals or voting.
