The Exodus
I have asked a starting question at DRN, and so far only one of the editors has answered. I have extended the Do Not Archive date. It seems that you may have to close it for inactivity when you come back. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:38, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

My wishes and prayers for a full recovery for your brother. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:38, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I closed the dispute for inactivity. This annoys me, because they shouldn't request dispute resolution if they won't follow through, but sometimes an electronic community is like that.  My continuing wishes and concerns about your brother.  Robert McClenon (talk) 17:01, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * , I just got back to NL and finally will have some time to wiki. Shame the editors weren't as active but I guess that happens sometimes. My brother is doing much better now and the rest of my family can care for him now without me (which allowed me to return to NL). Hope you've had a nice summer so far :) — Ixtal ( T / C ) &#8258; Non nobis solum. 16:50, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – August 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023).



Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Firefangledfeathers
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg AlisonW · Amberrock · Closedmouth · Scottywong

Interface administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Novem Linguae

Technical news
 * The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools.
 * Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist.

Arbitration
 * The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
 * The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.
