Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Helperbot report

At AIV the bot recently had to attempt to move an editor's report(twice) from the comment to the bottom - but it did an unfortunately poor job: diff:1161063771 and diff:1161064192.

Both times it moved the report on top of another report instead of into a new line, and both times it put its own signature in the middle of the report (because it was so malformed actually it appears to be because it copied the ~~~~ from the report in the comment). As you can see in the second diff, it made things pretty confusing. – 2804:F14:80B3:CB01:9C5E:86B:78D9:3A49 (talk) 12:09, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
