News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2022).

Administrator changes Firefly • Sdrqaz Ad Orientem Geschichte • Ryan Postlethwaite • Sabine's Sunbird • Wassupwestcoast

Interface administrator changes Evad37

Guideline and policy news

• An RfC is open proposing a change to the minimum activity requirements for administrators.

Technical news

• Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have the deletelogentry and deletedhistory rights. This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928)
• When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)

Arbitration

• Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures § Opening of proceedings has been updated to reflect current practice following a motion.
• A arbitration case regarding Skepticism and coordinated editing has been closed.
• A arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been opened.

Miscellaneous

• Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines has closed, and the results were that 56.98% of voters supported the guidelines. The results of this vote mean the Wikimedia Foundation Board will now review the guidelines.

Hi! I'm Ed6767, the original creator of RedWarn, now one of the most popular tools on the English Wikipedia that's been used by over 1,000 Wikimedians to make over 300,000 edits since mid-2020 that's been praised for its user friendliness and ease of use, but criticised for its limited functionality. I'm leaving this message as I think it may be of interest here - I left the RedWarn project in November to develop Teyora, my successor to RedWarn (alongside Chlod's UltraViolet). It's a new in development web app that uses some of the latest web technologies to create a highly extendable all in one editing tool with a focus on administration, counter vandalism and general patrolling - not to mention, it'll work on every Wikimedia project without any prior configuration and can be used by any user with at least auto-confirmed rights*. Now, I'm ready to give the Wikimedia community a first look at what I've been doing over the past six months and what to expect going forward.

You can check out the 20 minute first look at the in development version on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzlpnzXdLP4.

There's lots more to expect too! Why not read the full details page at meta:Teyora and leave any feedback, comments or wishes at meta:Talk:Teyora (please leave any correspondence there to keep discussion centralised). If you're interested, you can leave your signature

*with basic features, advanced features require configuration. To prevent abuse, auto-confirmed users will be in a restricted mode until approved by an admin or via rollback rights.

All the best, ✨ Ed talk! ✨ 23:20, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Since you tagged the most recent QuantitativeGeometry sock last year, I was wondering if you had thoughts about this. I don't have much experience with SPI and haven't a sense of how long they tend to sit. XOR'easter (talk) 15:44, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I was put under a TBAN covering WP:ARBAA by you as a condition to my unblocking 6 months ago. Since then, I have dedicated my time to improving the coverage of various topics on Wikipedia, mostly relating to fine arts and history. I wrote 2 Good Articles (Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan, Jews in Hong Kong) and 3 DYKs (Revolt of the Fourteen, Jews in Hong Kong, They Did Not Expect Him) during the last 6 months, as well as fully rewriting Artel of Artists (diff) and Homomonument (diff). I've also done some work on Colosseum as part of the WP:TEAMB effort.

I would like my TBAN to be removed because it interferes with my work on articles that aren't even in the obvious topic area due to the wideness of ARBAA's coverage. I also have plans to turn several articles within the topic into Good Articles (e.g. rewriting Mugham). I promise to not be disruptive in any topic area in the future. — Golden ^{call me maybe?} 19:13, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Golden, you've caught me in a generous mood. Sure, I'll lift it. Stay out of trouble, please. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:07, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
