 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Fishhead64 • Kudpung • Mikaey

Bureaucrat changes

Guideline and policy news
 * Following an RfC, the blocking policy was changed to state that sysops must not undo or alter CheckUser or Oversight blocks, rather than should not.
 * A request for comment confirmed that sandboxes of established but inactive editors may not be blanked due solely to inactivity.

Technical news
 * Following a discussion, Twinkle's default CSD behavior will soon change, most likely this week. After the change, Twinkle will default to "tagging mode" if there is no CSD tag present, and default to "deletion mode" if there is a CSD tag present.  You will be able to always default to "deletion mode" (the current behavior) using your Twinkle preferences.

Miscellaneous
 * Following the 2020 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: BRPever, Krd, Martin Urbanec, MusikAnimal, Sakretsu, Sotiale, and Tks4Fish. There are a total of seven editors that have been appointed as stewards, the most since 2014.
 * The 2020 appointees for the Ombudsman commission are Ajraddatz and Uzoma Ozurumba; they will serve for one year.

Technical news
 * The filter log now provides links to view diffs of deleted revisions (T261630).

User Scripts
How did you create so many user scripts? What hand at coding! Is there a secret? ― ItcouldbepossibleTalk 06:29, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if there are any secrets. At that time, I had a lot of free time and a lot of ideas for user scripts, so I just kept coding. At some point when I got close to 50 I thought that was a nice round number to stop at. (I just got busier in other areas at around that time as well.) I still have lots of ideas for user scripts, but at this point, with the amount of knowledge I have about Wikipedia, it's more productive for me to contribute in other ways.

User HHHHHYYYY

 * Postscript: I've just spotted Suggestededit-add 1.0 which sheds much light on such edit(or)s. I will read into it further. Surely it would be helpful at least for users to have a pointer to such things on their User or Talk pages? And I wonder re the choice of ES. And now I've spotted Qwerfjkl's helpful tip at the end of this section, too. Trafford09 (talk) 10:28, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

I'd be grateful for your advice, please, re User:HHHHHYYYY.

You will see that their contributions appear consistent, with identical edit summary, but they seem generally useful.

My concern is that the user may well be a (ro)bot, yet it appears to be unregistered, and the edit summary is unhelpful.

I know little about bots, so thought I should consult an expert.

This ES search shows some 2,158 edits that caught my eye, the oldest being this one.

If you'd like me to report this somewhere more appropriate, fair play; I am out of my comfort zone!.

Thanks, Trafford09 (talk) 17:47, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Trafford09: These edits are done through mw:Suggested edits, and the account is probably not a bot. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  19:01, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Thx for the good tip, Qwerfjkl. Trafford09 (talk) 10:28, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Request for User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel
Any chance you could update this script to create a userpage log of revdel nominations if possible? –– FormalDude   talk   10:37, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

EnterpriseyBot: Update BOTREQ status failure (fixed 2022-09-08)
EnterpriseyBot's task "Update BOTREQ status" failed to run per the configuration specified at Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 week, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the notify parameter from the template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 18:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Adding comment parameter for User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel
The cv-revdel template has a  parameter, which allows you to specific additional information for deleting administrators. However, in your script, there isn't an option to use this parameter. Is it possible you could add a field to fill this parameter as well? Many thanks, –  B errely • T∕C 09:50, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
 * There is also a  parameter that may be useful.  –  B errely • T∕C 09:53, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

AfC backlog drive
Hi Enterprisey! Hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you were able to run EnterpriseyBot for the AfC backlog drive next month. If you aren't able to, I've created a script that has similar functionality, but I will need to create a BRFA for my bot before running it. Thanks! &mdash; Ingenuity (talk &bull; contribs) 22:22, 20 December 2022 (UTC)


 * @Ingenuity, I would be able to run the bot. If you want to use your script that's fine too. I would be happy to speedily approve the BRFA, because from my experience with the last drive, you'll have to tweak it a lot during the drive and we might as well get to that stage sooner rather than later. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. My BRFA was approved for a trial by Xaosflux yesterday, and I've been testing the script out. It appears to work so far, so hopefully I won't have to make too many changes next month. &mdash; Ingenuity (talk &bull; contribs) 01:32, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Enterprisey!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 18:22, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
