Hey Amorymeltzer,
Something has changed regarding the software and it’s causing number only usernames like mine to load slowly and give inaccurate results. Hope you are able to fix when you return. 1989 (talk) 03:18, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- See phab:T240808. 1989 (talk) 07:13, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the follow-up, glad to see there's a fix in the works. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 14:29, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- The Linter extension helps you find technical errors in articles. It did not show new changes last week. This was because of an API problem. It is now working again. [1]
- Special:Watchlist can show the wrong information again. It does not always show which edits are read and which are unread. This is because of a database problem. The developers are working on solving the problem. [2]
Changes later this week
- You can get email notifications. You can get them immediately, a summary every day or a summary once every week. If you choose a summary you can soon choose not to get notifications you have already marked as read on the wiki. [3]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 December. It will be on all wikis from 19 December (calendar).
Meetings
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The partial blocks feature is now stable. It will come to most wikis on 6 January. Your wiki can ask to wait. Contact NKohli (WMF) if you don't want it now. [4]

Closing.
Hi, I would like to request the definitive closure of this account, as I no longer intend to be an active user. Thanks. Yiucjb50 (talk) 02:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Nothing more needed, then, you can just stop editing. I saw that Discospinster mentioned you could request a block, but I wouldn't grant a selfblock, so simply walking away is all you need. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:04, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- The fact is that I would like to close my account so that I can't log in again (infinite block). However I only have one question to ask: If I try to make the same request to another administrator who takes this type of request into consideration, is there any possibility that my request will be accepted? Yiucjb50 (talk) 15:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Possibly, but I would think most wouldn't. Self blocks are typically for specific lengths for specific purposes for established accounts. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:17, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestion, I will enroll in the anti-vandalism academy! --Sir Bond 007 (James The Bond 007) (talk) 13:43, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter December 2019
- Reviewer of the Year
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/New_page_reviewer_of_the_year_cup.svg/200px-New_page_reviewer_of_the_year_cup.svg.png)
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

- Redirect autopatrol
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
- Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
- This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.
