AfD Closure
editWhy did you close this AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taking the piss (2nd nomination) with your reasoning being 'Consensus edges to keep per sources provided', could you clarify what this statement means? It has left me unsure about your reasoning for the close. Traumnovelle (talk) 19:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the message. So, this seems to be a pretty straightforward keep as per the arguments and there was no need for relist. Consensus is leaning very much to a keep as per the sources on the articles and the arguments mention that the need for a standalone article is justified. Hence, I closed it as a keep. Hope that clears it. Thanks and happy editing :) — Benison (Beni · talk) 02:10, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-49
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- Two new parser functions were added this week. The
{{#interwikilink}}function adds an interwiki link and the{{#interlanguagelink}}function adds an interlanguage link. These parser functions are useful on wikis where namespaces conflict with interwiki prefixes. For example, links beginning withMOS:on English Wikipedia conflict with themoslanguage code prefix of Mooré Wikipedia. - Starting this week, Wikimedia wikis no longer support connections using old RSA-based HTTPS certificates, specifically rsa-2048. This change is to improve security for all users. Some older, unsupported browser or smartphone devices will be unable to connect; Instead, they will display a connectivity error. See the HTTPS Browser Recommendations page for more-detailed information. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [1]
- Starting December 16, Flow/Structured Discussions pages will be automatically archived and set to read-only at the following wikis: arwiki, cawiki, frwiki, mediawikiwiki, orwiki, wawiki, wawiktionary, wikidatawiki, zhwiki. This is done as part of StructuredDiscussions deprecation work. If you need any assistance to archive your page in advance, please contact Trizek (WMF). [2]
- This month the Chart extension was deployed to production and is now available on Commons and Testwiki. With the security review complete, pilot wiki deployment is expected to start in the first week of December. You can see a working version on Testwiki and read the November project update for more details.
- View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug with the "Download as PDF" system was fixed. [3]
Updates for technical contributors
- In late February, temporary accounts will be rolled out on at least 10 large wikis. This deployment will have a significant effect on the community-maintained code. This is about Toolforge tools, bots, gadgets, and user scripts that use IP address data or that are available for logged-out users. The Trust and Safety Product team wants to identify this code, monitor it, and assist in updating it ahead of the deployment to minimize disruption to workflows. The team asks technical editors and volunteer developers to help identify such tools by adding them to this list. In addition, review the updated documentation to learn how to adjust the tools. Join the discussions on the project talk page or in the dedicated thread on the Wikimedia Community Discord server (in English) for support and to share feedback.

editNews and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
Administrator changes

Interface administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
Technical news
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
Hello, Benison,
Thank you for your help with our AFD discussions. Just a reminder, please do not close a discussion so early. An hour or two early is reasonable when the discussion is not a close call but don't close a discussion a half a day early. It's best just to let most discussions run their full 7 days (when they aren't relisted) unless there is a very good case for a Speedy Keep. Thanks again for your help. Liz Read! Talk! 20:39, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Liz, hey. Thanks for the message. It seemed like very close to SNOW. Hence went with the early close. I shall keep it in mind from next time. Arigato :) — — Benison (Beni · talk) 02:35, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
