Administrators' newsletter – August 2019
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2019).

 * Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg Ad Orientem • Ched • Gadfium • Jonathunder • Nick • Yelyos

CheckUser changes

Oversight changes

 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg RickinBaltimore

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a request for comment, the page Office actions has been changed from a policy page to an information page.
 * A request for comment (permalink) is in progress regarding the administrator inactivity policy.

Arbitration
 * Editors may now use the template Ds/aware to indicate that they are aware that discretionary sanctions are in force for a topic area, so it is unnecessary to alert them.

Miscellaneous
 * Following a research project on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to improve the privacy of IP editors. The result of this project may significantly change administrative and counter-vandalism workflows. The project is in the very early stages of discussions and there is no concrete plan yet. Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
 * The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing  here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist. Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 August. It will be on all wikis from 8 August (calendar).

Problems

Future changes
 * Today everyone can see IP addresses if someone edits without an account. In the future this could be more hidden. This is to protect unregistered editors so fewer can see their IP address. This would only happen after we make sure the tools for vandal fighting can still be effective. You can read more and comment.

I have unreviewed a page you curated
Hi, I'm Masum Ibn Musa. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Hayat Mahmud Rahat, and have marked it as unpatrolled. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

&mdash;  Masum Ibn Musa  Conversation 15:44, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

hello, I can see you nominated the article Star Alex for deletion on every possible topic. Star Alex is a well known petite model, and internet personality. She has almost 180,000 followers on her verified tiktok account and has almost 40,000 on her instagram page. I dont see why this is up for deletion by you. I looked her up and she is a very respected model in the business, she just doesnt have as many "reliable" sources because of her PETITE modeling (which means that agencies dont really work with her because the industry is dangerously strict.) If you read some of the many articles about her it states that she remains unsigned because she has been discriminated against for her height. I dont know this woman personally, but checking from her social media accounts and interviews- she is trying to change the world even as a "petite" model- which shouldnt be taken from her because you think her sources arent credible enough (because the industry has no respect for models of her height) she is just as relevant if not more- than half the models that have articles up

Bots Newsletter, August 2019
I don't understand how to use this space to contact you. I hope I am doing this correctly. It's very confusing to newbie. You recently reverted my edit to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Harbor_Airport_(Washington) You said it "did not appear constructive". I don't know how that makes any sense. The airport is gone. There are houses built where the runway used to exist. I believe it "is constructive" to let people know that there is no longer an airport. I will edit the page again. Maybe it will be more constructively done this time... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sultanguy (talk • contribs) 18:06, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Problems
 * Octicons-tools.svg Some abuse filters stopped working because of a code change. Only variables for the current action will work. Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can read more to see how to fix the filters.
 * Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again.

Changes later this week
 * Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one IP address. An IP address can be whitelisted so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show CAPTCHAs when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 August. It will be on all wikis from 22 August (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 August at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * There is an RFC about creating a new global user group with the right to edit abuse filters. This will be used to fix broken filters and make sure all filters will still work when software changes happen. You can read more and comment.
 * will no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead.

Page Deletion
I hope you are enjoying your vacation. I noticed you were involved in the deletion of the article I created on Tristan Tondino. You seem like a digital guru and I wanted to let you know that I was honest in my attempt to create and work on the article. I hate the anonymity in Wikipedia sometimes but here is what happened last week that I have a few questions regarding. I have Linkedin Premium and Academia Premium. I believe there is a personal connection between the subject of the article and the individuals that targeted the article for deletion. Whenever I added citations they were instantly removed or questioned. So I've taken a screenshot of them from my social media pages. I should not have created the article because of the COI but I was using my name which appeared in the article and read that while being a COI is an issue the main point is objectivity. Sorry to bother you with this here JOSBRU (talk) 11:50, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
