Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/2019/12/List


 * We welcomed two new administrators (EvergreenFir and ToBeFree).
 * An RfC on administrator resysop criteria was closed. The inactivity grace period within which a new RfA is not required was reduced from three years to two, and bureaucrats may use their discretion when returning rights.
 * The 2019 ArbCom Elections are open until Monday 23:59, 2 December 2018 UTC. Please review the candidates and submit your choices on by voting.
 * The consultation on partial office actions received a closing statement from staff concluding, among other things, that the WMF will no longer use partial or temporary Office Action bans... until and unless community consensus that they are of value or Board directive.
 * Projects can set a default block length for users via MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry. A new page, MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry-ip, allows a different default for IP editors. Neither is currently used.
 * The edit filter mailing list has been opened up to users with the Edit Filter Helper right.
