Guideline and policy news

Technical news
 * Sysops will once again be able to view the deleted history of JS/CSS pages; this was restricted to interface administrators when that group was introduced.
 * Twinkle's block module now includes the ability to note the specific case when applying a discretionary sanctions block and/or template.
 * Sysops will be able to use Special:CreateLocalAccount to create a local account for a global user that is prevented from auto-creation locally (such as by a filter or range block). Administrators that are not sure if such a creation is appropriate should contact a checkuser.

 * Hi, still Jessamyn. This was an error based on me learning to use the tool. Apologies for the intrusion. Jessamyn (talk) 16:56, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Just Curious
Why do you think so many editors use a "-" instead of a "." in the frequency of the branding in the infobox? Sometimes there is a dash and that's fine, but when the logo clearly shows a "." it just doesn't make sense to me that some people would put a dash. user:Rudy2alan (talk)
 * Yeah, can't say. Seems like it ought to match whatever's in the logo. Mlaffs (talk) 15:07, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

User:Rudy2alan/WQXB

 * Threw in a few tweaks. Mlaffs (talk) 19:27, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited WDLC, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Middletown, New York. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
