Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have the deletelogentry and deletedhistory rights. This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928)
  • When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)

Creating Pages.

[edit]

Hello!

I am having trouble creating pages. I was wondering if there were any clear instructions on how to do so. Both of the pages I tried to create were rejected. I think that they are known enough by some people to create a page, but I understand the average person does not know who they are. I want to create pages for businesses and people mostly artists before they gain a huge following. I wonder if this will be an issue because they don't have a lot of info about them published but I see people with Pages that have far less. I don't know whats a right amount of articles to attach to make them get published.

Thank you, Carson — Preceding unsigned comment added by CarsonHolland (talk • contribs) 21:54, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to ask. You should probably read WP:YFA, it'll detail everything you need to know. It's difficult to create pages for things before they get noticed, because NOTABILITY is one our main guidelines. That means that they have to be noticed and known enough for reliable, third-party source to write significant coverage about them. It's difficult, but no one expects you to write an article on your first few tries! Find a notable subject and read on citing good sources. Hope this helped, WhoAteMyButter (📨talk│📝contribs) 22:01, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Igrechlaurentian/Forensic engineering

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Igrechlaurentian/Forensic engineering, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Teyora - Development first look!

[edit]

Hi! I'm Ed6767, the original creator of RedWarn, now one of the most popular tools on the English Wikipedia that's been used by over 1,000 Wikimedians to make over 300,000 edits since mid-2020 that's been praised for its user friendliness and ease of use, but criticised for its limited functionality. I'm leaving this message as I think it may be of interest here - I left the RedWarn project in November to develop Teyora, my successor to RedWarn (alongside Chlod's UltraViolet). It's a new in development web app that uses some of the latest web technologies to create a highly extendable all in one editing tool with a focus on administration, counter vandalism and general patrolling - not to mention, it'll work on every Wikimedia project without any prior configuration and can be used by any user with at least auto-confirmed rights*. Now, I'm ready to give the Wikimedia community a first look at what I've been doing over the past six months and what to expect going forward.

You can check out the 20 minute first look at the in development version on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzlpnzXdLP4.

There's lots more to expect too! Why not read the full details page at meta:Teyora and leave any feedback, comments or wishes at meta:Talk:Teyora (please leave any correspondence there to keep discussion centralised). If you're interested, you can leave your signature

*with basic features, advanced features require configuration. To prevent abuse, auto-confirmed users will be in a restricted mode until approved by an admin or via rollback rights.

All the best, ✨ Ed talk! ✨ 23:17, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
