Guideline and policy news

• Following consensus at the 2021 RfA review, the autopatrolled user right has been removed from the administrators user group; admins can grant themselves the autopatrolled permission if they wish to remain autopatrolled.

• Additionally, consensus for proposal 6C of the 2021 RfA review has led to the creation of an administrative action review process. The purpose of this process will be to review individual administrator actions and individual actions taken by users holding advanced permissions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Cabayi, Donald Albury, Enterprisey, Izno, Opabinia regalis, Worm That Turned, Wugapodes.

Miscellaneous

• The functionaries email list (functionaries-enlists.wikimedia.org) will no longer accept incoming emails apart from those sent by list members and WMF staff. Private concerns, apart from those requiring oversight, should be directly sent to the Arbitration Committee.

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)

Lady Frere

Thank you for the close and the history merge; it looks like it worked. BilledMammal (talk) 04:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

@BilledMammal: Good to hear, although the next time a history merge is needed I plan to just post it at WP:HISTMERGE and let the experts handle it. :)-- Aervanath (talk) 14:12, 12 January 2022 (UTC) Cheers,

Bug in your close

In closing at Talk:1912 World Hard Court Championships – Mixed Doubles, you wrote "Consensus was against the secondary proposal to move to sentence case after the dash". The secondary proposal was for all lowercase after the dash; sentence case was the main proposal. Please amend to clarity. Thanks for closing. Dicklyon (talk) 00:00, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Also, rather than "consensus was against", it might be more accurate to say there was no consensus for the secondary proposal (it was near 50/50 iirc, but I haven't counted recently). Dicklyon (talk) 00:01, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Maybe by "sentence case after the dash" you meant as if the dash were in a sentence. Then I'd agree. Still, a bit of clarification might be in order. Dicklyon (talk) 03:33, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I've updated.-- Aervanath (talk) 20:42, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Wall St. Whiz Kid RfD

Can you provide your reasoning for closing WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 12#Wall St. Whiz Kid as Delete? Jay (talk) 06:46, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

@Jay:, I've expanded my rationale there, such as it was.-- Aervanath (talk) 19:20, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

God of War

Can you provide your reasoning for deleting God of War (2021 video game) at the WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 12#Untitled God of War sequel? Jay (talk) 06:52, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

@Jay: I've added my reasoning there.-- Aervanath (talk) 19:29, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

One hit wonders?

You really - I mean REALLY? - think that neither Ellinoora nor Maustetytör deserve a page on Wikipedia? I think in a few years we'll all be laughing at your deletions on December 2021 :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morewilling (talk • contribs) 02:28, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
