RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins

Hi there! Phase I of the Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

• Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
• Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
• Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
• Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
• Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
• Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
• Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
• Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

ProcBot: Main Page snapshots failure

ProcBot's task "Main Page snapshots" failed to run per the configuration specified at Misplaced Pages:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 day, 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) 11:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I've manually created snapshots for yesterday and today. — Voice of Clam (talk) 15:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Telegraph close ?

It's been a while since our paths crossed and it seems you've largely been away from Misplaced Pages for a while. Welcome back. Is there a reason you wrote about plural closers for the Telegraph RfC when it was closed by a single person (S Marshall)? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:14, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey Barkeep. Thanks! Things have been busy recently but I try to pop my head in when I can. No, that particular instance was a poorly placed apostrophe. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 03:39, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Normally I wouldn't ask but given the previous close for that discussion I was just curious if you were lumping Compassionate in with S Marshall. Glad that wasn't the case. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:01, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello ProcrastinatingReader, thank you for your close of the close review. It must have taken significant effort. Appreciate it! starship.paint (RUN) 10:38, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

same as the rest, thanks for closing such a contentious discussion, which had already eaten two other closers alive, in a way that seems to me completely unobjectionable!--Licks-rocks (talk) 11:39, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

User:ProcBot purge task

Hey, can you reactive the purge task? I've added a category to the one off list at User:ProcBot/PurgeList. Gonnym (talk) 11:39, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

@Gonnym: Forgot to reply here, but this should be done. (Let me know if you think it didn't work properly?) In future, it should automatically respond to one-time category purge requests on that page. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 13:57, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, it finished. Gonnym (talk) 06:55, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Hey @ProcrastinatingReader, can the bot can purge modules and can it purge deleted modules? Gonnym (talk) 14:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Deleted ones I don't think would work.

For non-deleted, let's see... I used to have old code which purged transclusions of templates. It's disabled (and I'd have written the code for it differently today), but I can re-enable it, and it might work mostly as-is for modules. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 20:02, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

I think it's not immediately going to work, so I've disabled template transclusion purges for now. I'll need to look into it a bit more, but not sure when I'll have time in the immediate future. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:13, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks for letting me know. Gonnym (talk) 14:21, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

RFC close clarification request

Hello friend. I hope you're well. In your recent RFC close at WT:AELECT, you wrote any voter guides will not be linked to from this page. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to amend it to be clearer about what this page applies to? Does it apply to subpages? (I assume yes.) Does it apply to AELECT talk pages? (Completely unsure on this one, "this page" is technically the talk page.) Does it apply to any non AELECT pages? (I assume no.) Thanks for your consideration. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:01, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
