== Should this page get a higher protection level? ==

==Ambassador training / deprecated content==

Under Training for student assignments, if one follows the link to the Ambassador training, the welcome page includes the following notice:

<blockquote> This Wikipedia page has been superseded by training content on dashboard.wikiedu.org and outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org, and it is retained primarily for historical interest.</blockquote>

Neither of these suggested links appear to be on this page. (I realize they might be a second degree of separation.)

Could someone more familiar with this help space look at these links and decide whether to add them to this page?

Also, I suggest that a new section be added for content that is now considered "of historical interest." Thoughts? [[User:Zatsugaku|Zatsugaku]] ([[User talk:Zatsugaku|talk]]) 15:55, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
