Administrators' newsletter – June 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2017).

Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Doug Bell • Dennis Brown • Clpo13 • ONUnicorn
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg ThaddeusB • Yandman • Bjarki S • OldakQuill • Shyam • Jondel • Worm That Turned

Guideline and policy news
 * An RfC proposing an off-wiki LTA database has been closed. The proposal was broadly supported, with further discussion required regarding what to do with the existing LTA database and defining access requirements. Such a tool/database formed part of the Community health initiative's successful grant proposal.
 * Some clarifications have been made to the community banning and unblocking policies that effectively sync them with current practice. Specifically, the community has reached a consensus that when blocking a user at WP:AN or WP:ANI, it is considered a "community sanction", and administrators cannot unblock unilaterally if the user has not successfully appealed the sanction to the community.
 * An RfC regarding the bot policy has closed with changes to the section describing restrictions on cosmetic changes.

Technical news
 * Users will soon be able to blacklist specific users from sending them notifications.

Miscellaneous
 * Following the 2017 elections, the new members of the Board of Trustees include Raystorm, Pundit and Doc James. They will serve three-year terms.

Infoboxes of observatories: follow-up
Hi Mike, I just noticed that the linkage of IAU codes in the infobox doesn't work properly when an article has more than one observatory code assigned on Wikidata. For example Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory (G91 and 696). Thought that would be an interesting challenge for you to solve. Best,  R fassbind  – talk  22:11, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Am I missing something, or is this just a mistake in the Wikidata info? G91 should be 2MASS? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:15, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure, but then 2MASS has several observatory codes... This all has to do that a code of an "observatory" can be many things: somtimes it's a limited survey on an single instrument and sometimes its an entire cluster of observatories (La Silla). As far as I can see, there is no way around it: an article/wikidata page can have several codes, and a code may appear on several articles/wikidata pages. Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory may even show V07 (i.e. PAIRITEL; Peters Automated IR Imaging Telescope, originally used for 2MASS as well), which is located in Chile. This is because the article Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory may also refer to the Organization rather than just the physical site on Mount Hopkins in Arizona. The relation of articles and codes is m:m, not 1:1. Best,  R fassbind  – talk  23:18, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I'm not sure how this can be done. any ideas? I'm currently doing  . Perhaps some sort of addition to the module that lets people define pre- and post- text for each entry retrieved from Wikidata would work, although I'm not sure that would work with using the values both in the link and as the displayed text... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:56, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

 * The RFC discussion regarding WP:OUTING and WMF essay about paid editing and outing (see more at the ArbCom noticeboard archives) is now archived. Milieus #3 and #4 received support; so did concrete proposal #1.

Technical news
 * Fuzzy search will soon be added to Special:Undelete, allowing administrators to search for deleted page titles with results similar to the search query. You can test this by adding ?fuzzy=1 to the URL, as with Special:Undelete?fuzzy=1. Currently the search only finds pages that exactly match the search term.
 * A new bot will automatically revision delete unused file versions from files in Category:Non-free files with orphaned versions more than 7 days old.

Miscellaneous
 * A newly revamped database report can help identify users who may be eligible to be autopatrolled.
 * A potentially compromised account from 2001–2002 attempted to request resysop. Please practice appropriate account security by using a unique password for Wikipedia, and consider enabling two-factor authentication. Currently around 17% of admins have enabled 2FA, up from 16% in February 2017.
 * Did you know: On 29 June 2017, there were 1,261 administrators on the English Wikipedia – the exact number of administrators as there were ten years ago on 29 June 2007. Since that time, the English Wikipedia has grown from 1.85 million articles to over 5.43 million.

Template:Infobox World Heritage Site
You have made 15 changes to Template:Infobox World Heritage Site in the last day, many of which appear to be attempts at debugging. One of your recent changes has caused citation errors in some pages (see the template's talk page for details).

Edit summaries like "Not sure why the label is still showing, removing whitespace to see if that fixes it" indicate that you should be making changes in the template's sandbox and using a testcases page to see if those changes work. Please experiment in the sandbox before making changes to a template that is used in over 1,000 pages. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:37, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm working on migrating the calls to this infobox to use information from Wikidata. Most of the changes I've been making to the template have been simple format tweaks, and I'm discovering those issues as the template is migrated (and I'm fixing them when I spot the errors). I should make more use of the sandbox, though, and I'll try to do that more in the future. The citation issues are due to a recent change to Module:Wd so that it calls Template:Cite Q, and I've raised this issue at Template_talk:Cite_Q. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 01:51, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Do try to use the sandbox. I have edited many templates and it's usually only after I have gotten myself into trouble that I head for the sandbox. I never regret it. It's so much easier to mess around there than it is to do the careful thinking that is required to make perfect edits to heavily used templates.


 * And thanks for the explanation about the chain of effects that led to this situation. I only looked one level deep, saw your changes to the Infobox, and assumed that since only WHS pages were showing up in the CS1 error category, that your edits were to blame. I should learn not to assume. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:06, 9 July 2017 (UTC)


 * There are a few things wrong.
 * The documentation doesn't much like actually. For locmapin its comments are wrong.  (And like 98% of documentation, they don't give much useful information.)
 * There are several parameters of Infobox not open to Infobox World Heritage Site – below, qid, etc. The main problem is that the Infobox World Heritage Site can be both its own site, and also a higher site; e.g. Imperial City, Huế and Huế which have different wikidata pages ( and ). This gives two different coordinates, as well as other details.  I think it needs to have qid within Infobox World Heritage Site.
