Administrators' newsletter – April 2022
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2022).
- An RfC is open proposing a change to the minimum activity requirements for administrators.
- Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have the
deletelogentry
anddeletedhistory
rights. This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. 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.
Never be afraid to make bold edits
If you feel something meets the WP:DRAFTIFY criteria feel unashamed, and go ahead. But only do it if it has not been draftified previously to save accusations of move warring. Prior draftification suggests AfD assuming the article fails a notability criterion. There is a possibility that the editor we have both tripped over is an enthusiast or us UPE. I've asked them the first formal question about UPE 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:57, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- I hear you, I was just being cautious about it. I'll still hold off since this person is clearly going to revert whatever draftifing I do - might end up bunching them together as a mass delete later though, especially if UPE is established. Kirbanzo (talk - contribs) 21:03, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- I've taken the naïve approach, and batted most of them back to Draft space, nominated a few for deletion, and warned them against disruptive editing. It feels UPE rather than fan. But it may just be a mega fan with a misunderstanding. If they get moved back to draft space please don't wait for (eg) me to act. Just do what you feel is correct.
- Not sure whether you want to turn your earlier AfD comment into a formal opinion on deletion or retention. If so please do it well and wisely and in whatever direction you see fit 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:17, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Declined Wikipedia Post
Hi,
I'm trying to get my wikipedia article published and it seems like you've declined me twice. I just want to know where my article is going wrong as I don't necessarily agree with the replies made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaidanammar (talk • contribs) 21:35, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Please read WP:Reliable sources, WP:NCORP, and WP:What Wikipedia is not. Following those guidelines should address my concerns. Kirbanzo (talk - contribs) 21:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
On attribution of translated articles
Thanks for watching over translated articles, and being concerned about Wikipedia's licensing requirements regarding articles or content copied or translated from other Wikipedias. Regarding the advice which you added to a user talk page regarding attribution of content translated from Spanish Wikipedia, please note that:
- an edit summary attribution statement compliant with WP:TFOLWP is sufficient; nothing else is needed.
- there is no need to add the {{translated}} template to the Talk page of an article containing translated content (although it's nice to have).
Please see WP:CWW and WP:TFOLWP, which provide suggested wording for the edit summary attribution. This guideline is an interpretation of Wikimedia's wmf:Terms of Use, in particular, the Attribution section under § 7. Licensing of Content. The edit summary-plus-hyperlink method is one of three methods of valid attribution (another is listing all the authors of the original content); there is no requirement for anything on the Talk page. The Talk page template is a nice-to-have, and I do it for my translations because it's helpful to other editors, but it's not a requirement. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification - I'll keep it in mind for similar situations. Kirbanzo (talk - contribs) 23:05, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Attacking isn't the worst thing
I would rather someone attack me than be super friendly to me enough to induce a strong squish when they don't want to be friends. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.28.99.54 (talk) 00:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Regardless of that, be civil. This isn't an Xbox call of duty lobby in the late 2000s, we're all trying to work together here, even if we disagree once in a while. Kirbanzo (talk - contribs) 00:22, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Red or Dead (Novel)
Hi, It's been awhile now, but when you first tagged this page for A1/A3, it had only been 4 minutes (5:40->5:44), WP:NPP recommends at least 15 for brand new pages, to let the author time to get the article out onto the page. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 08:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Did you not see my edit summary, please do not revert legitimate edits.--142.167.135.137 (talk) 00:40, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

- 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.
The article covering entheogens, my addition.
I reference Herodotus, "The Histories" trans. Robin Waterfield Oxford University Press 1998. Specifically Book IV paragraph 73-75 where purification rituals using cannabis are described.2600:1700:6640:7280:9943:214:8FE3:4B05 (talk) 22:13, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
