Guideline and policy news
 * Following an RfC, extended confirmed protection may be used preemptively on certain high-risk templates.
 * Following a discussion at the Village Pump, there is consensus to treat discord logs the same as IRC logs. This means that discord logs will be oversighted if posted onwiki.

Technical news
 * DiscussionTools has superseded Enterprisey's reply-link script. Editors may switch using the "Discussion tools" checkbox under.

Arbitration
 * A motion has standardised the 500/30 (extended confirmed) restrictions placed by the Arbitration Committee. The standardised restriction is now listed in the Arbitration Committee's procedures.
 * Following the closure of the Iranian politics case, standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed.
 * The Arbitration Committee encourages uninvolved administrators to use the discretionary sanctions procedure in topic areas where it is authorised to facilitate consensus in RfCs. This includes, but is not limited to, enforcing sectioned comments, word/diff limits and moratoriums on a particular topic from being brought in an RfC for up to a year.

Miscellaneous
 * Editors have approved expanding the trial of Growth Features from 2% of new accounts to 25%, and the share of newcomers getting mentorship from 2% to 5%. Experienced editors are invited to add themselves to the mentor list.
 * The community consultation phase of the 2021 CheckUser and Oversight appointments process is open for editors to provide comments and ask questions to candidates.

Nice
Nice. I was planning on adding information on the GST dispute to Goods and services tax (Australia), but you went ahead and created a whole article on it! Steelkamp (talk) 07:32, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I was surprised we had no coverage of it and there ended up being a lot more content than I thought. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 08:33, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

About developed country
Did you really review the source? where is Andorra?123.192.182.76 (talk) 02:55, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That's not the source in the article though, is it? The source in the IMF column is this one, and as you can clearly see "Data for Andorra have been added to the database and are included in the advanced economies group composites." (emphasis mine). Your source is from April last year, the source in the article is from this month. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 03:12, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I see, apology for my mistake. I observed the latest update again, a renew list of advanced economies just admitted Andorra into the group recently on Tuesday which I have not yet noticed. The change has been reflected in the article, thank you for the verification. 123.192.182.76 (talk) 03:37, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 06:11, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
