Wikipedia translation of the week: 2020-16
The winner this Translation of the week is Please be bold and help to translation this article! _protective_mask,_Oude_Pekela_(2020)_01.jpg) A cloth facemask is a mask made of common textiles worn over the mouth and nose. Unlike surgical masks and respirators such as N95 masks, they are not subject to regulation, and there is currently little research or guidance on their effectiveness as a protective measure against infectious disease transmission or particulate air pollution. They were routinely used by healthcare workers from the mid 19th century until the mid 20th century. In the 1960s they fell out of use in the developed world in favor of modern surgical masks, but their use has persisted in developing countries. During the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, their use in developed countries was revived as a last resort due to shortages of surgical masks and respirators. (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

方針與指引重要變動：重大的方針與指引修訂。過去一個月內，互助客棧方針區共有新提案16項，另有3項提案獲得通過：
- 《快速刪除方針》：修訂〈條目〉一節，調整A5準則條文內容，允許與其他現有條目內容非常相似的條目符合A5款。（討論記錄）
- 《避免地域中心》：修訂〈非官方機構及國際活動〉一節，在不牽涉臺灣的情況下，允許在與香港、澳門作非政治性用途對比時使用「中國大陸」一詞。（討論記錄）
- 《COVID-19條目共識》：依據社群討論結果，正式訂立2019冠狀病毒病（COVID-19）相關條目共識指引，避免在相關條目發生編輯戰時遭到管理員全保護處理。（討論記錄）
其他方針與指引雜項修訂，包括未於互助客棧方針區討論而進行之小修改、方針與指引之相應修訂或事實性修訂等。請核查此等修訂，若有需要，可提案至互助客棧方針區復議。
Wikipedia translation of the week: 2020-17
