Administrators' newsletter – August 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023).
Administrator changes
Interface administrator changes
Technical news
- The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338)
- Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431)
Arbitration
- The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
- The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).

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. (T324166)
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 tonote 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.
Nthaab Enterprises
If you don’t know something doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t know… do u get it wena Ruud Gwirambira (talk) 19:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- I reverted you because you inserted a link to a page that is blatantly an advertisement and only served to promote its subject (it has now been tagged for CSD G11.) I believe you should read WP:N and WP:NPOV for a basic start. Thanks, WhoAteMyButter (🌇talk│🍂contribs) 19:37, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
Costa Rica stones
Dear Madam, Dear Sir, I am shocked at your rollback of my recent edit of the Costa Rica Stones. They are spheres after all, you don't agree ? Unesco does. We all pay for that. 2A02:A03F:E7FE:2C00:85AB:DFC0:8C39:6FF8 (talk) 20:01, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- The fact that they are spheres is in the article title (Stone spheres of Costa Rica). It's useless to re-include that information again. UNESCO is already mentioned in the article lede. WhoAteMyButter (🌇talk│🍂contribs) 20:05, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
But the stones are spheres ? And Unesco has confirmed this after years of academic and bureaucratic research ? It is useful information ! People also want to know who ate their butter not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A03F:E7FE:2C00:EC59:7B2C:8DA4:D9E9 (talk) 08:51, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
