How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Us-eight or Use-ight?

Hello,

I was re-reading some of the cratchats and thus, unsurprisingly, saw your username and I keep flip-flopping between how it would be pronounced. Which one is it? Nosebagbear (talk) 09:55, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

I always pronounced it as Use-eight, but your question made me realize I never asked! bibliomaniac15 20:57, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

It's the former. It's an unusual combination of letters, so it's probably mispronounced at least half the time. I have this page that explains its origin. Useight (talk) 16:47, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Updates to bureaucrat minimum activity requirements

Hello Useight.

Following a discussion at the Bureaucrats' noticeboard, the minimum activity requirements for bureaucrats have been updated to also include the the recently updated minimum editing requirements for administrators (i.e. at least 100 edits every 5 years). This will be enforced beginning in January 2023. Should you no longer wish to volunteer as a bureaucrat you may request removal at SRP and.or let us know at WP:BN.

Delete an unwanted page.

Hello! I am not a public figure but somebody has created a Wikipedia page for me basically to hurt me and damage my reputation. How do I delete it? 2600:8802:570E:AA00:6C6A:2C9A:7D7F:FEA6 (talk) 19:42, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Let me know what the page is and, assuming it is an attack page, I'll speedily delete it. Alternatively, just put the text "{ { db - g10 } }" (without spaces) on the top of the page and someone else will look at it. If it requires a more detailed conversation, you can add the page to this link: WP:AFD. If you let me know the page, I can handle it for you. Useight (talk) 19:46, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
