POTD notification
Hi Chick,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:Wes Brady, ex-slave, Marshall edited.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on February 28, 2014. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2014-02-28. Thank you for all of your contributions! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:26, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Great caption--thanks for including Brady's story. Chick Bowen 17:32, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I think it gives a better understanding of the project that was undertaken, and why it was important, than just saying "they made this picture"... why it was undertaken, and what was recorded, is much more valuable. Of course, it is also meant to close off Black History Month... I'm thinking Ida Wells for next year. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:47, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
