Guideline and policy news
 * Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
 * A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news
 * Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date.

Arbitration
 * The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous
 * Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.

Azerbaijani language
Hi dear friend @Richwales. As you can see my talk with Beshogur in thislanguage names page, that user claim that Turkic is a recent word in English, which is a Soviet influence after 1940s. Also he/she try to spread pan-Turkist idealogy in several other articles. He/she want to use turkish word which mean "belonging to or relating to Turkey, its people, or its language" according to Cambridge dictionary, instead of Turkic word. I want to ask you please help us to improve Wikipedia articles quality by erasing misinformations from it. Thank you. Bitim (talk) 16:55, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
