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.

Super league super 8s
Hi, what's happened to the super 8s Wikipedia page? Has it been deleted, because I notice that it is no longer a valid link, and redirects to Super League XXIII. Regards L1amw90 (talk) 19:38, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
 * As per the discussion at WPRL, having a page that mixed three sets of Super 8s makes no sense. All the information on that page is either on Super League XXIII if it relates to the top eight of Super League, 2018 Rugby League Qualifiers for the middle 8s or 2018 Rugby League Championship if it relates to the Championship Shield. The Qualifiers aside, it makes absolutely no sense to remove a quarter of each season from the main article about that division and lump them into another article because of the way the RFL markets them, they are integral parts of the SL and Championship seasons. As the SL Super 8s are the only section really using the Super 8 title, SL XXIII is the obvious target for the redirect. Nthep (talk) 20:13, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a "stop-gap" discussion, six users have temporarily been made interface administrators while discussion is ongoing for a more permanent process for assigning the permission. Interface administrators are now the only editors allowed to edit sitewide CSS and JavaScript pages, as well as CSS/JS pages in another user's userspace. Previously, all administrators had this ability. The right can be granted and revoked by bureaucrats.

Technical news

 * Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says . An example is   which is now.
 * Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is.

Arbitration
 * The Arbitration Committee has resolved to perform a round of Checkuser and Oversight appointments. The usernames of all applicants will be shared with the Functionaries team, and they will be requested to assist in the vetting process. The deadline to submit an application is 23:59 UTC, 12 September, and the candidates that move forward will be published on-wiki for community comments on 18 September.

Super League XXIV
Hi, I'm not sure who has added a redirect for super League XXIV, but I was going to create the page, and add bits such as the table, teams, etc. But every time I click on the link, it redirects to Super League. Could you remove the redirect? If not, then no worries.

About Anand Prakash Deletion
This notice is put on the article from a person who is connected with private organisations and not doing it to make wiki content better. we can definately discuss and find out what is right. But we really need to take care of these kind of actions from the people who claim that they are doing good for wiki and but at the same time they are doing all advertising and paid work.

Article with copyright infringement back again?
You deleted Category:Esurf as a copyright infringement. It's back, with pretty much the same content. I did a Google search on some sentences, but I mostly got Wikipedia mirrors. I assume you found something else, though. You might want to check out Draft:Esurf, too. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:59, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1940–41 Challenge Cup, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arthur Bassett ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/1940%E2%80%9341_Challenge_Cup check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/1940%E2%80%9341_Challenge_Cup?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). 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.)
