Administrators' newsletter – August 2022
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2022).
Administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- An RfC has been closed with consensus to add javascript that will show edit notices for editors editing via a mobile device. This only works for users using a mobile browser, so iOS app editors will still not be able to see edit notices.

Technical news
- The Wikimania 2022 Hackathon will take place virtually from 11 August to 14 August.
- Administrators will now see links on user pages for "Change block" and "Unblock user" instead of just "Block user" if the user is already blocked. (T308570)
Arbitration
- The arbitration case request Geschichte has been automatically closed after a 3 month suspension of the case.
Miscellaneous
- You can vote for candidates in the 2022 Board of Trustees elections from 16 August to 30 August. Two community elected seats are up for election.
- Wikimania 2022 is taking place virtually from 11 August to 14 August. The schedule for wikimania is listed here. There are also a number of in-person events associated with Wikimania around the world.
- Tech tip: When revision-deleting on desktop, hold ⇧ Shift between clicking two checkboxes to select every box in that range.

September music
 |
Thank you for your work ITN, today Lars Vogt, with chamber music pictured. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:26, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- You're very welcome, Gerda. Nice pics. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 15:58, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! The rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and this year was full of music that day, Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday, a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto, and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died. Almost too much of a good thing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:33, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Today, we sang old music for two choirs at church, pictured, scroll to the image of the organ of the month of the Diocese of Limburg (my perspective), and if you have time, watch the video about it --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:20, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- ... and today I wrote an article about music premiered today, Like as the hart. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Great! How timely! Good luck at DYK. --PFHLai (talk) 19:25, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
RE: Kapil Narayan Tiwari
The link works for me, that's strange; the Wayback Machine was also only picking up the deadlink. Since the website is entirely licensed under CC4.0, I was able to manually upload the webpage to archive.org. It's jank, but it works, I guess lol. Curbon7 (talk) 19:40, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for fixing the ref, Curbon7. That's good now. --PFHLai (talk) 01:59, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
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.

Nomination of Mount Pleasant Road, Singapore for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mount Pleasant Road, Singapore is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Mount Pleasant Road, Singapore until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

ITN RD
Hello, hope you don't mind me asking as you seem like an old ITN hand. Is this archiving the end for Wong Phui Nam and Mark Souder? I'm new to the process, so I don't know if they're meant to go up or if it's up to admin discretion or if there's a random lottery. A bit biased perhaps but I thought Wong Phui Nam would be a nice addition for a bit of diversity given the current RDs are all but one Americans. Best, CMD (talk) 03:08, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, CMD. Thank you for letting me know about this. The Wong Phui Nam article received a Support vote within the 7-day time limit with no objections from anyone, and IMO should have been promoted to MainPage. I guess no admins are around to take care of this. I'll handle this entry myself soon. The next time you see good noms not getting processed and disappearing into the archive, please be encouraged to post a note at Misplaced Pages talk:In the news. Thank you. --PFHLai (talk) 05:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer. This was my first dip into ITN, so I will keep an eye out going forward! Best, CMD (talk) 07:32, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Happy editing! -- PFHLai (talk) 10:36, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer. This was my first dip into ITN, so I will keep an eye out going forward! Best, CMD (talk) 07:32, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
