User:DannyS712/copyvio-check.js
Hey DannyS712, it seems the copyvio check script you maintain triggers a full search every time the curation toolbar is opened. Do you think you could change it to require confirmation for each page (e.g. a button to run the check)? The reason is that it seems to be the cause of some heavy load due to making automatic expensive requests even if the user did not want to run a check. See T303088. Thanks! — The Earwig (talk) 04:29, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- @The Earwig should be done, requires manually triggering the check. I saw on the phab task something about not knowing where the requests were coming from. Is there an api header I should be setting? DannyS712 (talk) 05:01, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick response. For API requests I normally look at the User-Agent or Referer, but I realize now both are fixed by the browser and can't be changed in the AJAX request (at least on Chrome, I think). Don't worry about it for now. In the future I may add another header. — The Earwig (talk) 05:19, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @The Earwig and DannyS712, hey, I just was updating the docs on this a few days ago! The MW API recognizes the special header Api-User-Agent for this purpose, so maybe you could recycle that. See meta:User-Agent policy, which I recently expanded. Enterprisey (talk!) 09:00, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, that would work. Thanks Enterprisey! — The Earwig (talk) 01:53, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- @The Earwig okay, let me know once you have that header supported and what I should do to use it DannyS712 (talk) 01:54, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

User:DannyS712/Draft no cat
I have no problem with changing "[[Category: foo]]" to "[[:Category:foo]]". However, it is not appropriate to change "[[Category bar]]" to "[[:Category bar]]"; the later is not a Wikipedia:Categorization, because it does not have a colon after "Category". --Shmuel (Seymour J.)

- @UnitedStatesian Yes - I fixed the script, Special:Diff/1075485739. Your common.js imports the live version rather than a specific version with a permalink, so you should be good to go DannyS712 (talk) 04:40, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

- An RfC is open proposing a change to the minimum activity requirements for administrators.

The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928) - When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)
- Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures § Opening of proceedings has been updated to reflect current practice following a motion.
- A arbitration case regarding Skepticism and coordinated editing has been closed.
- A arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been opened.
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines has closed, and the results were that 56.98% of voters supported the guidelines. The results of this vote mean the Wikimedia Foundation Board will now review the guidelines.

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter
The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
- Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
- AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
- Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
- Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
- Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
- Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
- Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

- Following an RfC, a change has been made to the administrators inactivity policy. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
- Following a discussion on the bureaucrat's noticeboard, a change has been made to the bureaucrats inactivity policy.
- The ability to undelete the associated talk page when undeleting a page has been added. This was the 11th wish of the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.
- A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.
- Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.
