Sorry for the extra work

but seriously, when you have time, ping me here and briefly explain what the possible point of that nonsense cruft is and why it's there in the first place, let alone why you're so interested in protecting it. I don't mean to be dense but I literally see no useful purpose to it.

In any case, (a) thank you/mange tak for your close eye and work on the project and (b), unless there are really really good answers to that, there's probably something more useful you could be working on. (Of course, if there's something I'm not seeing, just explain that and I'll stop giving you makework to do so you can work on more useful things.) — LlywelynII 07:58, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

@Llywelyn: Hello. The "R from move" is there because the community has decided it should be there: See MediaWiki:Move-redirect-text where the text comes from. We are some people who like to tag redirects :-). The tag is a notice to the reader why the persons page/bookmark etc. is gone (its moved, merged, or something else). (and selv tak (i.e. "your are welcome"). Christian75 (talk) 08:11, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:

  1. The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
  2. They are beginning a new project, Edit check.

Talk pages project

Screenshot showing the talk page design changes that are currently available as beta features at all Wikimedia wikis. These features include information about the number of people and comments within each discussion.
Some of the upcoming changes

The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.

It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.

Daily edit completion rate by test group: DiscussionTools (test group) and MobileFrontend overlay (control group)

An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.

New Project: Edit Check

The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

RE: Elexis Sinclaire

Alright, so what all should be preserved in the parent game article? Because it itself focuses on reviews of the game, and some of the sources are questionable or cited badly in the reception section as is. So how do you see a good way going about that?-- Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:32, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Update, preserved anything I could relevant to the game, but to be honest I feel like TNT-ing it and starting over may have been the better approach. Niemti had a habit of grabbing "anything that wasn't nailed down" and it definitely shows there.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:51, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
I do not know what to preserve. But the consensus was merge - so I would ask the persons voting for merge. Christian75 (talk) 07:36, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous

  • Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.
