Editing team feature idea meeting on Thursday 18th
[edit]Hiyo The Earwig. The Editing Team is working on a new Edit Check feature that will proactively suggest edits people can consider making. The team is calling the feature "Suggestion Mode."
We'd like to invite you to a discussion (in English, for this meeting) on 18th December to show an early prototype and talk about how it might be improved, expanded, and/or reconsidered. For this conversation, we're specifically interested in learning from folks like you who have direct experience with integrating edit suggestions and signals directly into editing workflows via scripts, gadgets, browser-extensions, etc.
We're hosting a meeting on Zoom this week (18 December at 17:00–18:00 UTC, the Zoom-link will be in mw:Editing team/Community Conversations) to demonstrate how we can currently integrate some existing editing suggestions, ask for feedback and ideas about other types of editing suggestions, and talk about the feedback loops we create to ensure these suggestions have reasonable false-positive rates.
You can see a short-list of examples that we've already compiled at mw:VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode, and if you have simple suggestions (or cannot attend the meeting) then we'd greatly appreciate your questions on the talkpage and idea additions to this longer listing of ideas. If you have ideas that are most easily demonstrated via screen-sharing in a video call, or want to discuss the ideas that already exist in that list, then we'd welcome your thoughts in the meeting. If you're not already familiar with Zoom, please see Working and convening remotely/Zoom for more information. You can optionally register your planned attendance at mw:Editing team/Community Conversations so that we know roughly how many folks to expect.
Please know: this will not be the last time we'll be asking people for feedback about the feature nor will it be the last meeting we host about it! Thanks, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 00:09, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
- Quick addition: If you're not able to come to the meeting at that time, you can try the tool using this userscript and there are four questions on the talkpage that we're most interested in your/tool-dev feedback on. Thanks again! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 23:27, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- All general sanctions imposed by the community may now be enforced at the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard (WP:AE) as a result of a recent RfC.
- Due to the result of a recent RFC, the administrator recall process is amended to extend the deadline for a re-request for adminship to 30 days or the next administrator election, whichever is later.
- Changes to the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy's disclosure rules include broadening the consecutive-blocks exception to cover all admin actions and removing the requirement to revision-delete permissible disclosures once they become unnecessary (instead requiring only their removal). See WP:TAIVDISCLOSE for more information.

- Hi Kowal2701, your end date is malformed. You put '20231010' as the start date which is valid, but '15012025' for the end date which is not. The tool expects YYYYMMDD. — The Earwig (talk) 23:09, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Thank you so much for this very useful tool. Somebody has probably asked this before, but I wonder if there coold be an option to compare the wiki text not to the text of the source, but to an automatic (deepl?) translation of the text of the source. I see sometimes that contributors just do this: copy, paste, translate, copy, paste... which is no better than just copy and paste, but it slips under your radar. --Lewisiscrazy (talk) 16:31, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
Copyvio tool still requires login, every time
[edit]Hi cute pic on user page, mate,
Earwig requires login every time. My wiki login stays on, but Earwig copyvio checker asks for login each time. This makes it so hard to use. Could this please be fixed?
Samsung Internet browser in Android, same issue in chrome on winfows 11 and firefox on devuan.
