Technical news

Editors using the mobile website on Wikipedia can opt-in to new advanced features via your settings page. This will give access to more interface links, special pages, and tools.
The advanced version of the edit review pages (recent changes, watchlist, and related changes) now includes two new filters. These filters are for "All contents" and "All discussions". They will filter the view to just those namespaces.

Arbitration

A request for comment is open to provide an opportunity to amend the structure, rules, and procedures of the 2019 English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee election and to resolve any issues not covered by existing rules.

Miscellaneous

A global request for comment is in progress regarding whether a user group should be created that could modify edit filters across all public Wikimedia wikis.

ArbCom 2019 election voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 on Monday, 2 December 2019. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:15, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

Following an RfC, the blocking policy was changed to state that sysops must not undo or alter CheckUser or Oversight blocks, rather than should not.
A request for comment confirmed that sandboxes of established but inactive editors may not be blanked due solely to inactivity.

Technical news

Following a discussion, Twinkle's default CSD behavior will soon change, most likely this week. After the change, Twinkle will default to "tagging mode" if there is no CSD tag present, and default to "deletion mode" if there is a CSD tag present. You will be able to always default to "deletion mode" (the current behavior) using your Twinkle preferences.

Miscellaneous

Following the 2020 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: BRPever, Krd, Martin Urbanec, MusikAnimal, Sakretsu, Sotiale, and Tks4Fish. There are a total of seven editors that have been appointed as stewards, the most since 2014.
The 2020 appointees for the Ombudsman commission are Ajraddatz and Uzoma Ozurumba; they will serve for one year.

Guideline and policy news

A request for comment found consensus that incubation as an alternative to deletion should generally only be recommended when draftification is appropriate, namely 1) if the result of a deletion discussion is to draftify; or 2) if the article is newly created.

Technical news

The filter log now provides links to view diffs of deleted revisions (phab:T261630).

Arbitration

The 2020 CheckUser and Oversight appointment process has begun. The community consultation period will take place from September 27th to October 7th.
Following a request for comment, sitting Committee members may not serve on either the Ombuds Commission or the WMF Case Review Committee. The Arbitration Committee passed a motion implementing those results into their procedures.

Miscellaneous

The Universal Code of Conduct draft is open for community review and comment until October 6th, 2020.
Office actions may now be appealed to the Interim Trust & Safety Case Review Committee.

User Scripts

How did you create so many user scripts? What hand at coding! Is there a secret? ― Itcouldbepossible^Talk 06:29, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if there are any secrets. At that time, I had a lot of free time and a lot of ideas for user scripts, so I just kept coding. At some point when I got close to 50 I thought that was a nice round number to stop at. (I just got busier in other areas at around that time as well.) I still have lots of ideas for user scripts, but at this point, with the amount of knowledge I have about Wikipedia, it's more productive for me to contribute in other ways.

User HHHHHYYYY

Postscript: I've just spotted Wikipedia:Suggestededit-add 1.0 which sheds much light on such edit(or)s. I will read into it further. Surely it would be helpful at least for users to have a pointer to such things on their User or Talk pages? And I wonder re the choice of ES. And now I've spotted Qwerfjkl's helpful tip at the end of this section, too. Trafford09 (talk) 10:28, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be grateful for your advice, please, re User:HHHHHYYYY.

You will see that their contributions appear consistent, with identical edit summary, but they seem generally useful.

My concern is that the user may well be a (ro)bot, yet it appears to be unregistered, and the edit summary is unhelpful.

I know little about bots, so thought I should consult an expert.

This ES search shows some 2,158 edits that caught my eye, the oldest being this one.

If you'd like me to report this somewhere more appropriate, fair play; I am out of my comfort zone!.

Thanks, Trafford09 (talk) 17:47, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Trafford09: These edits are done through mw:Suggested edits, and the account is probably not a bot. ― Qwerfjkl talk 19:01, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thx for the good tip, Qwerfjkl. Trafford09 (talk) 10:28, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request for User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel

Any chance you could update this script to create a userpage log of revdel nominations if possible? ––FormalDude talk 10:37, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

EnterpriseyBot: Update BOTREQ status failure (fixed 2022-09-08)

EnterpriseyBot's task "Update BOTREQ status" failed to run per the configuration specified at Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 week, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify= parameter from the {{/task}} template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 18:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding comment parameter for User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel

The {{cv-revdel}} template has a |comment= parameter, which allows you to specific additional information for deleting administrators. However, in your script, there isn't an option to use this parameter. Is it possible you could add a field to fill this parameter as well? Many thanks, – Berrely • ^T∕_C 09:50, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a |copypatrol parameter that may be useful. – Berrely • ^T∕_C 09:53, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AfC backlog drive

Hi Enterprisey! Hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you were able to run EnterpriseyBot for the AfC backlog drive next month. If you aren't able to, I've created a script that has similar functionality, but I will need to create a BRFA for my bot before running it. Thanks! — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 22:22, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ingenuity, I would be able to run the bot. If you want to use your script that's fine too. I would be happy to speedily approve the BRFA, because from my experience with the last drive, you'll have to tweak it a lot during the drive and we might as well get to that stage sooner rather than later. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. My BRFA was approved for a trial by Xaosflux yesterday, and I've been testing the script out. It appears to work so far, so hopefully I won't have to make too many changes next month. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 01:32, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy holidays!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Enterprisey!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:22, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
