Guideline and policy news

  • A request for comment is currently open to reevaluate the activity requirements for administrators.
  • Administrators who are blocked have the technical ability to block the administrator who blocked their own account. A recent request for comment has amended the blocking policy to clarify that this ability should only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as account compromises, where there is a clear and immediate need.
  • A request for comment closed with a consensus in favor of deprecating The Sun as a permissible reference, and creating an edit filter to warn users who attempt to cite it.

Technical news

  • A discussion regarding an overhaul of the format and appearance of Wikipedia:Requests for page protection is in progress (permalink). The proposed changes will make it easier to create requests for those who are not using Twinkle. The workflow for administrators at this venue will largely be unchanged. Additionally, there are plans to archive requests similar to how it is done at WP:PERM, where historical records are kept so that prior requests can more easily be searched for.

Miscellaneous

  • Voting in the 2019 Steward elections will begin on 08 February 2019, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2019, 13:59 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
  • A new IRC bot is available that allows you to subscribe to notifications when specific filters are tripped. This requires that your IRC handle be identified.

RfC task

Dear Legoktm, the RfC task of Legobot seems malfunctioning. An rfc here wasn't picked up. In addition, in the two categories I've specified, there were no new rfcs since Feb 13. Ahmed M Farrag (talk) 08:51, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Ahmed M Farrag: I've manually updated the RfC listings, not just for Talk:Shabir Ally but all others that weren't listed. One thing I did not do was assign values for the |rfcid= parameter, since those are generated by Legobot. Once it's running again, those values will be filled in and the rfc template text will change from "Within 24 hours, this page will be added ..." to "This page has been added ...". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:41, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
See [2], the bot should theoretically start up by itself soon. Legoktm (talk) 19:37, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
