Guideline and policy news
 * Following a successful proposal to create it, a new user right called "edit filter helper" is now assignable and revocable by administrators. The right allows non-administrators to view the details of private edit filters, but not to edit them.
 * Following a discussion about mass-application of ECP and how the need for logging and other details of an evolving consensus may have been missed by some administrators, a rough guide to extended confirmed protection has been written. This information page describes how the extended-confirmed aspects of the protection policy are currently being applied by administrators.

Technical news
 * You can now search for IP ranges at Special:Contributions. Some log pages and Special:DeletedContributions are not yet supported. Wildcards (e.g. 192.168.0.*) are also not supported, but the popular contribsrange gadget will continue to work.

Arbitration
 * Community consultation on the 2017 candidates for CheckUser and Oversight has concluded. The Arbitration Committee will appoint successful candidates by October 11.
 * A request for comment is open regarding the structure, rules, and procedures of the December 2017 Arbitration Committee election, and how to resolve any issues not covered by existing rules.

Changes to the Plano Shooting.
I was correcting misinformation on the page. I am the roommate of one of the victims and was angered at the Junior League's shameless publicity stun at the vigil. If you wish to report the truth please leave my edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.34.89 (talk) 19:16, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

CSDH: no category criteria?
Hey there, I'm using your CSDH script and noticed just now that it doesn't auto-populate the deletion reason when speedying a category, and the category criteria aren't listed in the "please select a reason" drop-down. Is this a bug? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:27, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's an omission. I'll see about adding them. A le_Jrb talk  13:18, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Was just about to tweak the script (thought you were gone for some reason) and (fortunately) saw this post first. It looks like most of the F and C speedy reasons are missing (Ts as well?). Happy to help with the updates if necessary. Primefac (talk) 14:46, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, absolutely feel free to make that type of edit as you want - I'm super busy at the moment, so haven't really been keeping this up to date. A le_Jrb talk  15:36, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
