Requesting removal of AWB perms
I'm not using AWB as much as I expected so could I be removed from the AWB access list? Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page 21:55, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅. Please check to make sure I did it properly. I wasn't even aware there was a list, let alone adding or removing entries from it. Seemed simple enough, but you never know.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:32, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm no longer able to use AWB and JWB so I think it worked. Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page 15:50, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

No vandalism here. Please review the stub article that exists for Amabile. 65.88.88.56 (talk) 18:04, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry. I was mistaken in reverting you. I'll restore your edit now. Thanks for trying to make Wikipedia more accurate! Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page 18:12, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * What's this she/her nonsense? If I am communicating with you, I shall be saying 'you'.  How dare you undo my edits which are aways designed to improve style and add or correct facts.  What do you actually know about the items you are 'editing'?? 82.39.166.176 (talk) 16:39, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Editing while logged out
Hi - was that intentional, or a mistake? If the latter, you could reach out to oversight and ask to have the diffs redacted. I haven't run a check on your account or anything, I figured it out in the old-fashioned way; if I can do that, other people probably can too. It's not strictly against policy, and I don't think that you've done anything improper, so please don't interpret this as a telling off, I'm really just letting you know that it can be spotted, and that some people see it as suspicious so, you know, you might not want to do it. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  18:17, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I honestly have no idea what you're talking about; I don't remember editing logged-out. I just enabled email. Would it be possible for you to send me the diff over email? Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page 18:23, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page 18:30, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 * No reply received yet. Girth Summit  (blether)  22:54, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Not sure why. It's showing up in my sent mail category. Either way, just emailed it again. Novo Tape (talk) 23:01, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Glad that was cleared up. Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page 14:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

More Than Scientists
Novo Tape, thank you very much for the feedback on More Than Scientists, it's definitely helpful.

I removed the commentary in the last paragraph of the lead, leaving a short statement supported by the two quoted descriptions from the coverage.

Do you think the section on the general public's belief in climate science would be a good article on its own? It is an important part of the (on-going) history. As is, it focuses on the time period when More Than Scientists was launched, to provide context and background for that campaign. I could look at researching it further to update it to current time so it can stand on its own and then moving it out to a separate article? In the meantime I've shortened and tightened it up, and I could shorten it more if you think that would be better.

(and if this response should be left somewhere other than your talk page please let me know where. Thanks!) Keystone77 (talk) 22:52, 26 November 2023 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Also, don't worry—this is the appropriate venue for discussing my feedback. The article Public opinion on climate change already exists, but, if you're interested, I encourage you to edit it or discuss changes on the talk page. It's worth noting the page is designated as a contentious topic, so editing it may require particular care in terms of sourcing.
 * I notice that you've published your draft for review again. I'd still strongly recommend cutting down the section on Public Awareness since it's as long as the rest of the article. It's unlikely, though possible, that it will be published in the current form due to the undue weight concerns. I've added a see also link to public opinion on climate change under that section so that readers can gain more info if they'd like and the article doesn't need to include too much about public opinion. I can review the article again once you make those changes. Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page  17:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks again – it’s really helpful to have someone providing feedback and edits. Ok, I greatly cut down the section on public opinion (I do think it's an important section tho since it describes why climate scientists have been interested in a vehicle like More Than Scientists for speaking out – which is unusual for scientists!) The page on public opinion talks around this aspect (the public’s opinion of the scientific consensus) so I’ll work on adding the add'l detail there.
 * As for resubmitting it for review, I assumed that was the next step after addressing your comments (altho apparently not sufficiently :) – sorry if that was jumping the gun. Please let me know what you think with this draft. Thanks! Keystone77 (talk) 05:00, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand how it can be hard to trim info, but I think the article is fairly well balanced now. Don't worry about jumping the gun. It took me a long time to learn when an article is ready and how to navigate Wikipedia's numerous policies and guidelines. I'm happy to help when you err.
 * I've published the draft because it looks sufficiently sourced to be an article. Thanks for working to improve Wikipedia's coverage! If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask me or visit this forum. Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page  16:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Addendum: It's also common practice to edit a draft after it's submitted, and there's nothing wrong with doing so. Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page  19:28, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism reversion
Hi! I just reverted some vandalism on Corey Perry and I think you mistakenly reverted my reversion. Granted there's a lot of vandalism going on at that article at the moment due to rumours floating around, but could you check again and see if the article is OK? Thanks! --2604:3D09:A17E:7300:1C2C:2EBA:27DC:D8E6 (talk) 19:32, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't think I reverted you. Based on the page history, no-one reverted your edit. I accidentally gave you the wrong welcome template (I meant to thank you for fighting vandalism). Sorry about that! It should be fixed now Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her) My Talk Page 19:35, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Closing
About "Despite the multiple discussions, none were formally closed...", I thought I'd drop by and saying that formal closing (=boxing up) and summary statements are pretty rare, and they're not really necessary. The important thing is whether editors agree; the rest is for convenience (mostly, the convenience of later editors who just want to know the result and don't want to read the whole thing).

BTW, if you're interested in pharmaceuticals, you might want to put WikiProject Medicine and WikiProject Pharmacology on your watchlist. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:58, 11 December 2023 (UTC)


 * . Sorry for the (extremely) late response but I've been inactive the past month due to a personal matter. I think I wrote that line in reference to When a discussion involves many people and the outcome is not clear, it may be necessary to formally close the discussion from WP:CLD as well as another page specifically about policy/guideline changes (though for the life of me I can't remember which page that is or what it said). Either way, thanks for letting me know that closure isn't common.
 * For now, I expect most of my content creation to be under the purview of WikiProject Novels, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind for the future. Sincerely, Novo Tape My Talk Page  16:44, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Request on 02:46:02, 3 January 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Wikibobdobbs
Hi, I would like assistance in the creation of a Wikipedia page for Mask Blocs. It's my first submitted page and it's a subject that doesn't have a lot of media coverage. So far there is only around 3-4 articles on it from scientific journals or newspapers but Mask Blocs are widely used by people to get free masks and more Mask Blocs are being started by communities every month.

Wikibobdobbs (talk) 02:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm busy right now, but I can work on expanding the draft sometime in the next week. Sincerely, Novo Tape My Talk Page  17:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, Thank you! I tried finding history on Mask Blocs to add them but I couldn't find anything old since they're very new. Maybe the article about them in oregon could be listed in the history section as one of the first published instances of Mask Blocs? Wikibobdobbs (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey any update on availability to help me create the Mask Blocs page? Many more Mask Blocs have started, there's now over 100 active Mask Blocs and almost 100 covid\longcovid advocacy groups and clean air blocs. Wikibobdobbs (talk) 02:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm extremely sorry! I forgot about the article. This was inexcusable, but I'll go through the article today.
 * Looking through the existing sources on the article (See WP:42 for quick overview of notablity and WP:N for a more in-depth explanation):
 * Decently in-depth. You'd want at least two more covering mask blocs like this to warrant an article. (See also )
 * Passing mention of a mask bloc, mostly focuses on lifting the mandate. Does not contribute to notability.
 * Like the last one, is not in-depth. Does not contribute to notability.
 * Doesn't mention mask blocs.
 * Reasonably descriptive but not independent.
 * onwards. Do not mention mask blocs.
 * A search revealed a couple more sources. The author of this article has enough publications in other respected outlets that I'd just barely say it's considered reliable. That's 2/3 reliable, in-depth, independent sources. Another article from the same outlet has passing mention and doesn't contribute to establishing notability.
 * I'll work on rewriting the draft and looking for more sources tonight (PST/UTC-8), when I'm no longer on mobile. Sincerely, Novo TapeMy Talk Page 17:18, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Haha no worries! Thank you so much for your help! Wikibobdobbs (talk) 02:16, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Here's another article on Mask Blocs https://thesicktimes.org/2024/03/12/how-mask-blocs-are-keeping-communities-safe-with-neglected-government-stockpiles/ this publication is an independent paper started by journalists who write for various big papers and the author of this article has written articles for The Guardian, The NYT, Fortune, and The New Yorker. https://muckrack.com/brittanyshoot Wikibobdobbs (talk) 19:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry for not informing you about this but I've been busy over the past few days. However, I've updated the draft to comply with Wikipedia's various pages and guidelines today. I understand it looks short, but that's because mask blocs unfortunately haven't received enough coverage to warrant a larger article. Please make any necessary changes if I've introduced an error. If you'd like to know why I added/removed/reworded something, feel free to ask.
 * If you'd like, I can publish the draft. The article won't appear on search engines until six months have elapsed or it's been reviewed independently, whichever happens first (unfortunately the backlog is very long and growing, so it's likely to be at least a month till it appears).

 * Mesidast/Tidy citations is a fork of Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations is a fork of Waldyrious/formatcitations. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.



Ambox important.svg Improve a script
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
 * Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
 * Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
 * To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
 * We want...
 * ...a mark-as-read button and watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
 * ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
 * ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Ambox clock yellow.svg Requested scripts

 * A simple script to second or archive proposed deletions
 * A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like this demo
 * A WP:3O response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard
 * A byte filter to be split from Nux/LongTableFilters
 * ...and many more, all available at User scripts/Requests

Gnome-colors-list-add.svg New scripts

 * DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filters.
 * Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script adds an option to use Web2Cit (which WP:ProveIt also uses) instead of Citoid to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
 * Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!
 * CopyVio detector, Adiutor.pngǵu/Adiutor (pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
 * Eejit43's redirect-helper script demo.png43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
 * /afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
 * /ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
 * /redirect-helper (pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
 * /rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
 * User Info Popup screenshot 1.jpg2/UserInfoPopup (pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
 * Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
 * Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
 * Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.
 * FormattedEditRequest-in-work.pngDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest (pictured) generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
 * PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
 * Qwerfjkl/massCFD creates mass WP:CfD nominations.
 * Rublov/refspace highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
 * Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

Edit-listings

 * Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
 * Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
 * Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
 * Nardog/ExamineMore makes it so the paging at Special:AbuseFilter/examine actually works, pending a fix to.
 * NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

Appearance-ricing

 * Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
 * Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
 * GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink replaces the [ ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?
 * En.WP VPP Screen Shot 2024-01-13 with custom CSS.pngey/common (pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
 * Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
 * Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
 * Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022) reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
 * For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
 * Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
 * Sm8ps/SectionEditing makes pressing Tab toggle the visibility of the tiny [ ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
 * The wub/tocExpandAll adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

Permissions required!

 * Ahecht/potd-helper: A script to post the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.
 * Selective Rollback dialog.pngniez
 * /AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
 * /Selective Rollback (pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
 * Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

QOL shortcuts

 * BrandonXLF/SVGEditor lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
 * DanCherek/UAABotRemover adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from Usernames for administrator attention.
 * DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
 * ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with Convenient Discussions.
 * Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
 * FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
 * Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another button on top of the Lua module debug console.
 * Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink adds a link to metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist next to the normal watchlist.
 * Nardog
 * PasteToCommons adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
 * Unpipe tries to detect violations of WP:NOPIPE and fix them as much as possible.
 * Ohconfucius/tometricunits automatically adds unit conversions of imperial units in brackets after their uses per MOS:UNITS.
 * Suntooooth
 * /flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
 * /randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
 * Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline fix templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:


 * Proposal 2, initiated by, provides for the addition of a text box at Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
 * Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by and, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
 * Proposal 5, initiated by, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
 * Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
 * Proposal 7, initiated by, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
 * Proposal 9b, initiated by, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
 * Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by, , and , respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
 * Proposal 13, initiated by, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
 * Proposal 14, initiated by, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
 * Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by and, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
 * Proposal 16e, initiated by, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
 * Proposal 17, initiated by, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
 * Proposal 18, initiated by, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
 * Proposal 24, initiated by, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
 * Proposal 25, initiated by, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
 * Proposal 27, initiated by, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
 * Proposal 28, initiated by, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

WT:DYK
So, your recent participation at that DYK thread read as pretty sarcastic/hostile/angry. What's going on? Valereee (talk) 16:36, 15 May 2024 (UTC)


 * , I thought the DYK error on Dr Nandipha was addressed the very same day it was removed from the main page. Why is it referenced here again?  dxneo  (talk) 16:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Taking this back to wt:dyk Valereee (talk) 18:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think that they crossed any lines there. If this is meant as you reaching out to a friend fine but if you don't know them IRL I would drop it. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 17:03, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * , the first comment (by time stamp, not location)—On the contrary, I expect there ... the criminal charges—was very much not meant to be sarcastic, at least as I understand the term. It's not directed at any person; I composed it with regards to comments I'd seen but don't remember the authors of. IIRC sarcasm is meant to wound or insult a person (Just referenced Webster's to be sure). Though criticizing an opinion as opposed to a person is allowed, the tone was imperfect. I apologize if you or anyone else thought it was about a specific person or persons. Either way, I've struck the offending part since it's clearly not helping matters.
 * Regarding the second comment, I can't find ... not a Wikipedian (which I've struck in its entirety), I apologize to Lightburst. This comment was both sarcastic and angry, as you mentioned. I'll try to maintain a civil tone towards all users in the future. It was inexcusable, but since you asked what's going on, I'll explain though I'm aware that an explanation by no means mitigates the impoliteness of my prior comments nor excuses them.
 * I was angry because, from my end, it looked as though they intentionally misgendered a transgender person in order to prove a point. From what I know, Lightburst has a history of sub-optimal behaviour (As do I; I'm at least that self-aware), so I called them out for it.
 * If you think my comments were particularly egregious, feel free to issue a block or open an ANI discussion (though I'd prefer the former over the latter since this whole Andrew Tate debacle has wasted enough editors' time).
 * I don't quite understand 's comment to you so if I know the answer, I can't offer it. Sincerely, Dilettante 17:52, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't feel it was particularly egregious. It just seemed hostile, and as this needs to be a collaborative environment I like to check on that. Thanks for seeing the point. Valereee (talk) 18:02, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
