2026 is upon us! Things are a little reversed at Metaculus, where the New Year's "resolutions" we focus on have to do with sorting out what did and didn't happen during 2025. You can help us out by doing the following:

* **Avoid tagging admins about question resolution until at least January 23rd**. There are hundreds of questions resolving and it will take us some time to get to all of them.
* Post comments on questions that resolve at the end of the year with how you think the question should resolve and (where appropriate) a detailed explanation of why that resolution is warranted. Posting high quality links that directly support the proposed resolution is appreciated as well.
* After January 23rd, tag @admins (**not** @moderators) on resolutions we may have missed.

2025 has been an exciting year, which saw us reach [3 million cumulative predictions](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/40418/when-will-metaculus-reach-3-million-total-forecasts-winners-announced/), as well as launch a number of exciting new [tournaments and projects](https://www.metaculus.com/tournaments/). We're grateful for the Metaculus community's continued dedication to making the future clearer, and we're excited to see what you predict will happen in 2026 and beyond!

<details><summary>Post from 2023</summary><p>It's almost time to flip our calendars over to 2024, and that also means it's nearing time for a deluge of question resolutions!

<details><summary>Post from 2022</summary><p>2022 is coming to an end, and that means it's the season for holiday celebrations, preparing for 2023, and for a large number of Metaculus questions to resolve! The Metaculus team is looking forward to resolving these questions, and we'd love to enlist the help of the community. You can help by commenting on any questions that will resolve at the end of the year with how you think they should resolve and (where appropriate) a detailed explanation of why that resolution is warranted, including links to supporting information. This would save us a great amount of research time as we dive into all these questions.</p><p>Lastly, please save our inboxes: **do not tag admins about question resolution until at least January 10th**. There are over 200 questions resolving and it will take us some time to get to all of them. Once the date has passed if it appears we've overlooked any questions we'd greatly appreciate tagging us. (And, as always, Moderators do not have the power to resolve questions so please don't tag @moderators for question resolution, only @admins).</p><p>Thank you to this great community for another excellent year of forecasting. Your forecasts and commentary continue to make Metaculus a fantastic place to discuss and learn about important developments in science, technology, and world politics. Happy holidays and may your Yule log scores bring you warmth!</p></details>
