Hi DatGuy. Would it be possible for DatBot to archive AIV requests if the user has been globally blocked or locked? Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:11, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather Mdann52 adds it to User:HBC AIV helperbot14. Matt: you can use list=globalallusers via enwiki or list=logevents&leaction=globalauth/setstatus via metawiki for accounts and list=globalblocks for IPs. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 10:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

noted - I'm already hopefully checking for locks, will try a few things to work out why things are slipping through when I get a few hours! Mdann52 (talk) 00:35, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @DatGuy, may I ask for your opinion on an ECR request Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Extended confirmed#User:Boutboul. Thanks in advance. Michael Boutboul (talk) 18:50, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
