Administrators' newsletter – August 2023[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023).
Administrator changes
Interface administrator changes
Technical news
- The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338)
- Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431)
Arbitration
- The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
- The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.

Thank you very much for the copyedit of Interstate 40 in Tennessee. I thought I'd let you know that I am going to try for an FA again very soon. Bneu2013 (talk) 16:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Miniapolis: I have a small problem, I created this article and put the plot summary along with the source, and at first I thought it was right, but now I know that I was wrong. Please can you review the article and remove the copyright template, thanks M.A.LasTroniN910 (talk) 09:41, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- You received a final warning on 2 July about adding copyrighted material without permission, and the edits which need to be redacted are from yesterday. I don't think you understand yet that you can't copy-paste copyrighted material into articles. Please read WP:COPYPASTE. Miniapolis 13:18, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
