Guideline and policy news
 * Following an RfC, extended confirmed protection may be used preemptively on certain high-risk templates.
 * Following a discussion at the Village Pump, there is consensus to treat discord logs the same as IRC logs. This means that discord logs will be oversighted if posted onwiki.

Technical news
 * DiscussionTools has superseded Enterprisey's reply-link script. Editors may switch using the "Discussion tools" checkbox under.

Arbitration
 * A motion has standardised the 500/30 (extended confirmed) restrictions placed by the Arbitration Committee. The standardised restriction is now listed in the Arbitration Committee's procedures.
 * Following the closure of the Iranian politics case, standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed.
 * The Arbitration Committee encourages uninvolved administrators to use the discretionary sanctions procedure in topic areas where it is authorised to facilitate consensus in RfCs. This includes, but is not limited to, enforcing sectioned comments, word/diff limits and moratoriums on a particular topic from being brought in an RfC for up to a year.

Miscellaneous
 * Editors have approved expanding the trial of Growth Features from 2% of new accounts to 25%, and the share of newcomers getting mentorship from 2% to 5%. Experienced editors are invited to add themselves to the mentor list.
 * The community consultation phase of the 2021 CheckUser and Oversight appointments process is open for editors to provide comments and ask questions to candidates.

 * @BilorvThanks for your warm message. However, I believe this refusal is rather political. Not even based on wiki policies listed. I don't have questions to ask as I have enough experience in wikipedia. Thanks again for the offer. Your's sincerely, GharouniTalk 00:27, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a very strange assumption on your part. I have very little knowledge of Iranian politics, as you can likely tell from the topic areas I edit, but I certainly oppose their government's actions here. If you have sufficient experience on Wikipedia then you will know that we should first consider WP:BLP1E. We find it inapplicable (criterion #2, Salehi is not low-profile) and so WP:BIO1E is the policy we should next turn to, where we see that it would be more common to have an article on the incident of arrest than on a biography of Salehi. However, evaluating the topic under Notability (events) we find that the incident has not received sustained coverage, at least not according to the sources in the article (all from a couple of weeks in September, none from October), and as such I did not recommend an article on the incident itself, instead declining the draft as not demonstrating notability. — Bilorv ( talk ) 00:38, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Bilorv Thanks for your comment. I apologise if I jumped into conclusion quickly. Regards, GharouniTalk 01:22, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
