Administrators' newsletter – October 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2017). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Boing! said Zebedee • Ansh666 • Ad Orientem
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Tonywalton • AmiDaniel • Silence • BanyanTree • Magioladitis • Vanamonde93 • Mr.Z-man • Jdavidb • Jakec • Ram-Man • Yelyos • Kurt Shaped Box

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a successful proposal to create it, a new user right called "edit filter helper" is now assignable and revocable by administrators. The right allows non-administrators to view the details of private edit filters, but not to edit them.
 * Following a discussion about mass-application of ECP and how the need for logging and other details of an evolving consensus may have been missed by some administrators, a rough guide to extended confirmed protection has been written. This information page describes how the extended-confirmed aspects of the protection policy are currently being applied by administrators.

Technical news
 * You can now search for IP ranges at Special:Contributions. Some log pages and Special:DeletedContributions are not yet supported. Wildcards (e.g. 192.168.0.*) are also not supported, but the popular contribsrange gadget will continue to work.

Arbitration
 * Community consultation on the 2017 candidates for CheckUser and Oversight has concluded. The Arbitration Committee will appoint successful candidates by October 11.
 * A request for comment is open regarding the structure, rules, and procedures of the December 2017 Arbitration Committee election, and how to resolve any issues not covered by existing rules.

Remove Name from CVUA?
Hello,

Since you have stopped teaching individuals at the Counter Vandalism Unit Academy, would you like me to remove your name from the list? It can be misleading to potential new students if your name is there but you don't want to teach any students. If I don't receive a response, I will assume the answer is yes. Thank you. Hummerrocket  (talk)  19:10, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for late reply. I am a bit inactive now. Yes, let's remove the name for a while now. Regards. --Tito Dutta (talk) 05:02, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

WAM Organizing / Judging
Hi Tito! Wikipedia Asian Month is coming up soon. I was wondering if you would like to help organize and judge our English Wikipedia event this year? I've updated the page at Wikipedia Asian Month. Would be great to have you on-board again :) Addis is stepping away from organizing so we could use help. Thanks, ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 05:09, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure, I was talking to Addis on this and discussed a few plans. I'll be working here. Please include me in any chat group or communication channel, if you have any. I don't know if you are on Facebook. I may be reached at "/wikitito" on FB. I may also be reached over email. I'd also like to discuss some other areas such as offline events with you. It is quite unfortunate that Addis can not give his full attention to the event this year. Thanks. --Tito Dutta (talk) 05:14, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Great, thank you! I messaged you on Facebook. Please feel free to reach out to me regarding offline events, or anything else. I'll see about either making us an English WP chat somewhere and/or joining any existing international ones. Cheers, ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 05:20, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, SuperHamster and Tito. I hope you are doing great! I think I would be able to reduce the work load of WAM, so would it be alright if I could become one of the organizers/judges this year? Adityavagarwal (talk) 14:31, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

I can also help out in spreading the word on wiki and off wiki (just conduct a wikipedia session few days ago), and anywhere else where help is needed. :) Adityavagarwal (talk) 14:46, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Great, please spread the words and promote the event, we are also doing so. --Tito Dutta (talk) 14:49, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
