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.

ClueBot NG algorithms
Hi, I have a question about ClueBot's algorithms. Are they explained somewhere? Approval request contains a link to the "algorithms details", http://98.222.57.24/Cluebot-NG.pdf, but this link is dead now. I would be interested to know about neural network properties etc. MBH (talk) 18:00, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The userpage goes into some details, and the source is available on Damian Zaremba's GitHub. The PDF you linked is now available at on my own domain, though while the fundamentals are still the same, it's a bit dated.  -- Cobi(t&#124;c&#124;b) 18:24, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for answer. I want to write an article about machine learning-based counter-vandalism tools in Wikipedias to Russian IT website habr.com. It's ClueBot, ORES, maybe other tools. MBH (talk) 18:40, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Cluebot III is down!
Sent you an email asking you to look at what's holding Cluebot III back, if you could. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:46, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
