I really don't want DoTW to go, but it definitely needs a revamp in order to be revived. Just my 2 cents thought.

Revamp DoTW

Topic: Anyone can suggest topic, and is reveal a week prior to the debate

Participants: Any members of wiki regardless of account age, edit counts, etc. can take part. Signing up is available after topic is revealed.

Team: Divide all participant as even as possible into proposition side and opposition side. Method of grouping is decided by Judges. Reveal members of each group a day before the debate.

Judge: Assemble a panel of judge with members of 3 staffs and 1 wiki user. Staff could assign a trusted user to replace their position. A wiki user with enough credits or credential, or publicly recognized is eligible of being a Judge. Each judge can grade each team at scale from 1 to 10. Marking scheme: WIP

Format: N/A or team policy debate.

Audience: Eligible ToTM voters can vote for any team for bonus score before final scores are reveal.

Reward: Higher credit will be allocated individually to every members of winning team, and vice versa. User with the highest credit after a certain period will be awarded Debater of the Month(?) flair, and is qualified to become a Judge for the next competition period.

Addition of DoTW

Role Idea Contest: Held once a month. User may sign up 1 role idea to be contested. For a week, the contesting role idea can be "attack" by any user, and the owner will have to "defend". Judges have to do a critical review of all contesting role idea. Marks will be given at scale from 1 to 10 depends on the contestant's holistical performance of "defending" instead of role idea itself. Credits are given to champion, 1st and 2nd runnner up.

Mah Favourite Role Is Da Best: Held once every 2 months. User may sign up an existing role as their favourite role. For a week, contestant must promote their favourite role as the best one in ToS. Judges and the public can do "Questioning" on the contestants' point and idea throughout the week. Reward, Voter and Judge rules still apply.

Feedback/response are appreciated. I would love to collect suggestion to fix DoTW. I wish DoTW stay.
