| == Closing of infidel userbox == | |||
| Hey, just wondering, wouldn't recreate in userspace be a better compromise? There were a fair number of people on "undelete" and then "keep deleted" as well as a fair number of people in the middle ground saying "userfy". This is probably the best compromise available, as what a lot of us really just have problems with is unencyclopedic templates in general.

| Within the past month, ] has been edit warred over, speedily deleted, gone through deletion review , brought back to TfD and had the TfD resolved with a keep on the 28th. (See ].) Less than 72 hours later, it has been speedily deleted and the earth ], by user ]. An admin overturning this would be the start of a wheel war. Speedily deleting 72 hours after a keep TfD result seems to me something that needs to be brought up on deletion review. My impression is that if I were the one to do so, a fair review would not occur. Can you do something appropriate? ] 21:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Burning bridges, building walls - I have little hope for any adminsitrative action, except if Jimbo himself were to weight in. Basically we have a cabal of 5 or 6 adminstrators who are hellbent on pushing through the new speedy deletion "policy", disregarding consensus or existing conventions. I made a post regarding recent T2 "policy" mass-deletions on the ] but it sits there, dead in the water, ignored by all. Several RFC and RFA have been launched against the participating administrators, but in the end the pro-userbox admins got the short end of the stick. The sad truth is, I think the battle for the Template space is lost.However, I will not give up, I started migrating userboxes as templates into userspace (aka the German solution, also looked favorably by Jimbo) which should be a showstopper for the hardliner anti-userbox administrators. While templatespace has the (as we know now) easily abusable T1 criteria, Userspace does not. Should they continue their actions there I hope we can expect additional support from the community and have a much better standing in ArbCom decisions, as they cannot use T1 as a figleaf there. BTW, I rescued the template as good as I could, it live now in my userbox space (see my sig). ] ] ] 22:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
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)
