Hi Stwalkerster. I'm writing because the [[WP:ACC/G|ACC]] queue for CheckUsers is seriously backlogged: 48 requests and six weeks. Anything you could do to help reduce this backlog if you have time would be greatly appreciated by me.

:Yeah, I'm aware of it unfortunately. I've been trying to find some time to deal with it, but recently my opportunities have either been a) when I'm not in a position to use my tools (aka now), or b) I'm too tired to do anything meaningful. I'll try and knock off some of the backlog in the next few days, but I can't promise I'll be able to clear it. <span style="font-family: Verdana;">[[User:Stwalkersock|stwalkerster]]</span> (sock | [[User talk:Stwalkersock|talk]]) 17:11, 20 February 2023 (UTC) |

Recent changes
- In the Vector 2022 skin, logged-out users using the full-width toggle will be able to see the setting of their choice even after refreshing pages or opening new ones. This only applies to wikis where Vector 2022 is the default. [1]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 February. It will be on all wikis from 9 February (calendar).- Previously, we announced when some wikis would be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. These switches will not be announced any more, as the read-only time has become non-significant. Switches will continue to happen at 7AM UTC on Tuesdays and Thursdays. [2]
- Across all the wikis, in the Vector 2022 skin, logged-in users will see the page-related links such as "What links here" in a new side menu. It will be displayed on the other side of the screen. This change had previously been made on Czech, English, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [3]
- Community Wishlist Survey 2023 will stop receiving new proposals on Monday, 6 February 2023, at 18:00 UTC. Proposers should complete any edits by then, to give time for translations and review. Voting will begin on Friday, 10 February.
Future changes
Gadgets and user scripts will be changing to load on desktop and mobile sites. Previously they would only load on the desktop site. It is recommended that wiki administrators audit the gadget definitions prior to this change, and add skins=…for any gadgets which should not load on mobile. More details are available.

- The Reply tool and other parts of DiscussionTools will be deployed for all editors using the mobile site. You can read more about this decision. [5]

Deleted Sandbox
I just wanted to ask what my sandbox had on it before you deleted it.

- I believe the deletion reasons given in the log adequately sum up why the page was deleted. I will not reproduce the content here. stwalkerster (talk) 23:14, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
