Administrators' newsletter – October 2022
News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2022).
|
|
|
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
- Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
- Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.
Technical news
- The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out. If you wish to help out at AFC, enable AFCH by navigating to Preferences → Gadgets and checking the "Yet Another AfC Helper Script" box.
Arbitration
- Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.
- A modification to the deletion RfC remedy in the Conduct in deletion-related editing case has been made to reaffirm the independence of the RfC and allow the moderators to split the RfC in two.
- The second phase of the 2021-22 Discretionary Sanctions Review closes 3 October.
Miscellaneous
- An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their passwords are secure, and reminded that ArbCom reserves the right to not restore adminship in cases of poor account security. You can also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
- Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections open 2 October and close 8 October.
- You are invited to comment on candidates in the 2022 CUOS appointments process.
- An RfC is open to discuss whether to make Vector 2022 the default skin on desktop.
- Tech tip: You can do a fuzzy search of all deleted page titles at Special:Undelete.
Foreign languages
Hello, HickoryOughtShirt?4,
Just a note to say that we don't require User pages or Drafts to be in English-only (see WP:NMFD). I work mainly with Drafts and some Sandboxes these days and we have plenty of drafts in Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Croatian, you name it. We just ask that pages be translated before they are submitted for review or moved to main space (see Draft:Umowa PPA for an example of how an AFC reviewer handles this). And we do ask that editors communicate in English on Talk pages (WP:ENGLISHPLEASE). But in their own space or in Draft space, editors often first write in their native language first or work on articles from another language Wikipedia before they are translated into English. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 04:37, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- I even stumbled into Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English that contains articles that are seeking translation help. Liz Read! Talk! 04:40, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Liz and thanks for the note. You are right, I should have just declined it as a draft. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:46, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello old friend!
Hello Hickory, Thanks for updating Al Morganti. I'm still working on biographies for Canadian ice hockey administrators, and want to expand a few journalists also. I hope you're doing well! Flibirigit (talk) 23:34, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Flibirigit and thanks for the note
. Unfortunately, there is very little coverage of Morganti so his article is destined to be a stub ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I am currently going through Canadian para-hockey athletes so maybe I'll see you around DYK. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:36, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Adam Kingsmill
On 20 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Adam Kingsmill, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Adam Kingsmill, who is missing most of his right leg, played stand-up ice hockey until 2016? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Adam Kingsmill. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Adam Kingsmill), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
Erukhimova
Hi!
Thanks for creating Tatiana Erukhimova! I've just discovered her on TikTok, felt that there's more to her than funny videos, and indeed there was. I appreciate your contribution! ❤️ --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 05:43, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
- Amire80, thanks so much . I didn't even realize she was on TikTok so now I have a whole slew of videos to watch! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:47, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
