Administrators' newsletter – July 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2018). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Pbsouthwood • TheSandDoctor
 * Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg Gogo Dodo
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Andrevan • Doug • EVula • KaisaL • Tony Fox • WilyD

Bureaucrat changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Andrevan • EVula

Guideline and policy news
 * An RfC about the deletion of drafts closed with a consensus to change the wording of WP:NMFD. Specifically, a draft that has been repeatedly resubmitted and declined at AfC without any substantial improvement may be deleted at MfD if consensus determines that it is unlikely to ever meet the requirements for mainspace and it otherwise meets one of the reasons for deletion outlined in the deletion policy.
 * A request for comment closed with a consensus that the promising draft template cannot be used to indefinitely prevent a WP:G13 speedy deletion nomination.

Technical news
 * Starting on July 9, the WMF Security team, Trust & Safety, and the broader technical community will be seeking input on an upcoming change that will restrict editing of site-wide JavaScript and CSS to a new technical administrators user group. Bureaucrats and stewards will be able to grant this right per a community-defined process. The intention is to reduce the number of accounts who can edit frontend code to those who actually need to, which in turn lessens the risk of malicious code being added that compromises the security and privacy of everyone who accesses Wikipedia. For more information, please review the FAQ.
 * Syntax highlighting has been graduated from a Beta feature on the English Wikipedia. To enable this feature, click the highlighter icon (Codemirror-icon.png) in your editing toolbar (or under the hamburger menu in the 2017 wikitext editor). This feature can help prevent you from making mistakes when editing complex templates.
 * IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in July (previously scheduled for June). This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.

Miscellaneous
 * Currently around 20% of admins have enabled two-factor authentication, up from 17% a year ago. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider doing so. Regardless if you use 2FA, please practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.

Cochrane-update bot
Hi Mike, I hope that you are having a nice summer! I want to touch base about the Cochrane bot. I think that it may not be working at the moment. I have also emailed, as he offered to help trouble shoot as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Cochrane_update/August_2017 Link to your bot coding: https://bitbucket.org/mikepeel/wikicode/src/master/cochrane.py?fileviewer=file-view-default Link to the old code (we think was used): https://gist.github.com/Ladsgroup/4b673975c7515f5022476493ae02636b

Do you have any suggestions? I found the link to the code that was developed before I started this project. If you have any suggestions or ideas I would appreciate them!

Thanks again, Jenny JenOttawa (talk) 13:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I was wondering about that. It is running, and I did a manual run of it earlier this month to make sure it was running through to completion, but it doesn't seem to be finding any updates. I assume it should be? If you know of an example of one that needs updating, then I can try to do some debugging (or I might undo a previous example to see if the bot still picks that change up). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 14:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Mike. I found one here:
 * Citation currently used: Donepezil for dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 25 January 2006;(1):CD001190. doi:10.1002/14651858.CD001190.pub2. PMID 16437430. in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer%27s_disease#cite_note-pmid16437430-167
 * Update: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29923184
 * Would it be worth trying to run the previous bot for a cycle to see if it pulls out different updates?
 * Thanks for offering to help once again!
 * Jenny
 * JenOttawa (talk) 23:28, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, I think this is because the code was looking for 'WITHDRAWN' in, which isn't present. I've removed that check, and the bot seems to be working OK now - it's found a few more that need updating at Alzheimer's disease as well. Sorry that it hasn't been working properly then! I'll set it re-running now, although it may have to wait until next week for a complete run-through. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:43, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Mike, thanks for taking a close look at the bot. I see the updates starting on the Aug version of the project page., looks to be improved already! Is there a way to change the name of project page (i.e: remove August 2017) so volunteers will not get confused by the date. Thank you again!!!
 * JenOttawa (talk) 16:12, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Which page URL would you like it to use? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:15, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the quick reply. Would overwriting WikiProject Medicine/Cochrane update make sense? This is an old version, no longer relevant. I will share this link with the volunteers.JenOttawa (talk) 16:20, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, I've merged the three pages to WikiProject Medicine/Cochrane update, with WikiProject Medicine/Cochrane update/Archive 1 as the sole archive. The bot will update those pages now. There were some old updates that weren't marked as done, so they're still on the page, and can either be marked as done or bulk-archived manually as needed. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:40, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Mike, I think it would make sense to remove the unmarked updates from the previous Cochrane Update page. Since your bot will re-list all updates needed, we will decrease the chance that there are updates that have not already been performed on the list, which would potentially frustrate volunteers. Does this makes sense?JenOttawa (talk) 17:19, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, done. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:34, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks great! I will take a closer look at the updates it is pulling tonight to verify their accuracy. It is now a nice list that I can start to recruit volunteers to help with. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!, if you noticed any errors in the new updates that are being pulled please let me know asap. I will be back online in a few hours to do a quality check as well. JenOttawa (talk) 18:20, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The first check I did looks great! Article Alcoholism (edit) old review PMID:25836263 new review PMID:28822350 - 16:26, 18 July 2018 (UTC) is spot on! I will check a few more as well, but this looks great. Thank you again! JenOttawa (talk) 20:12, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It's finished running through them and updating the report page now. The bot is rather busy with other tasks at the moment, so I'll wait a short while before getting the list of all uses as per the discussion below. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:34, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Helper templates
I've just made two new "helper" templates with you in mind: You might find them useful in simplifying the design of your Wikidata-infoboxes. The idea is to replace stuff like: <pre style="line-height:1.2em;">
 * Template:If then show
 * Template:Ifnoteq then show

with <pre style="line-height:1.2em;">

Which is simpler and doesn't fall over when  returns something, but   returns nothing. Any use? --RexxS (talk) 13:03, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks! The first one looks useful, although I'm less sure about the second. It'll probably be most useful on Commons, since Infobox already includes the same functionality (and I've been using If first display both to do something similar for displaying references in the infoboxes here). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:03, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The second one was a bit of an afterthought. It might find use when we have a particular exception to a general rule, like displaying USA (or nothing) instead of United States. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 09:27, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

List of all Cochrane Reviews in Wikipedia right now
Hi Mike, is it possible to get an update on this page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Peel/Cochrane_used I was not able to figure out a cleaver way to remove these PMIDs from my master list, but I am hoping to try again!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Cochrane/Cochrane_Review_List I know that there are hundreds of reviews on this list that are already in Wikipedia articles and need to be removed.

If it is a big job to regenerate this list, please don't worry. Your assistance this week has already been tremendously helpful.

Thanks, JenOttawa (talk) 23:20, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It's easy to regenerate it (I just re-run a script), but is it OK if we wait for the bot to complete the main update first? It's also running tasks on other wikis, and I don't want to overload it. :-) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 06:27, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes! Of course! Thanks so much. JenOttawa (talk) 13:00, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Quick update: it ran out of memory on my raspberry pi, so I'll set it running next week on a more powerful computer. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:53, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot to run this in the last few days, and I'm now travelling again. :-( I might get chance to run it early next week, otherwise it'll be around the 4th before I can do so. The bot should automatically run the general update on the 1st August, let me know if anything looks odd with it. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:46, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Mike, no problem. Thanks for picking this back up. I will watch for the bot next week. Have a nice trip! JenOttawa (talk) 23:29, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks like the computer running the bot crashed a couple of days ago. I'll restart it and run the scripts when I'm back on Friday. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 13:00, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Mike, thank you for the update! JenOttawa (talk) 14:26, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm back, so the bot's running the update now. One minor hickup that it didn't recognize "Done" rather than "done", that's now been fixed. I've also re-run the uses page, but I can't save it to the wiki page - instead it's available here. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:54, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for keeping tabs on all of this. The bot update looks great from what I could see. I will check out the new page as well. This is very very helpful. Thank you again! JenOttawa (talk) 18:59, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Great. :-) Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help! Mike Peel (talk) 19:02, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * All done for this month now - more on 1 September! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 10:32, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – August 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2018). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Sro23
 * Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg KaisaL • Ymblanter

Guideline and policy news
 * After a discussion at Meta, a new user group called "interface administrators" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css, or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by bureaucrats. Discussion is ongoing to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia.
 * Following a request for comment, the WP:SISTER style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to Wikinews should only be made as per the external links guideline. This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner.

Technical news
 * The WMF Anti-Harassment Tools team is seeking input on the second set of wireframes for the Special:Block redesign that will introduce partial blocks. The new functionality will allow you to block a user from editing a specific set of pages, pages in a category, a namespace, and for specific actions such as moving pages and uploading files.
