 :*I am of the perception that the majority of charity events are related to political matters or natural disasters, and I do not want the wiki to popularize or be associated with either.

+::*If following notability standards, this becomes less about deciding what to endorse and more about what falls under the prerequisites of endorsement. Additionally, you could relegate the matter to specific admins, like how we currently handle the Twitter account.
+::*I get where you're coming from, but I could also just as easily consider the NIWA template as an advertisement. I don't think there'd really be a difference if we temporarily affiliate with a charity event to bring awareness to it. I also doubt many people would care on the basis of it being intended for charity. As I've also stated in the main proposal, other wikis have also similarly supported the community and they have not received any complaints to my knowledge.
+::*As you said, that is not the intention. Though it could open up an easy way for the wiki to host it's own charity events in the future.
+::*This is definitely a valid concern though to be fair I think as long as the charity being supported isn't discriminatory (such as being against a certain group of people) then it should be supported. After all, if the community itself is the one bringing in support then the wiki being in support of it is only a few steps away.
