- An RfC is open to add a delay of one week from nomination to deletion for G13 speedy deletions.
- Last week all wikis were very slow or not accessible for 30 minutes. This was due to server lag caused by regenerating dynamic lists on the Russian Wikinews after a large bulk import. (T287380)
- Following an amendment request, the committee has clarified that the Talk page exception to the 500/30 rule in remedy 5 of the Palestine-Israel articles 4 case does not apply to requested move discussions.
- You can vote for candidates in the 2021 Board of Trustees elections from 4 August to 17 August. Four community elected seats are up for election.

A message from Gabriel.c.drummond.cole[edit]
Hi, your huggle script just welcomed me to wikipedia, but I've been making infrequent edits with this account for the last 11 years. Being welcomed after so long as if I were a new user by your script felt impersonal and mildly insulting, I don't know if there are parameters that you could adjust but anyway an unpleasant experience.

- @Gabriel.c.drummond.cole Unfortunately, the only parameter I could adjust in the program is to not give out welcome messages at all; I could also choose to skip instead of marking the edit as a 'good' edit, which would skip the welcome message but could also slightly delay the whitelisting of your account.
- Perhaps there needs a way to 'skip' welcoming older accounts, and either of us can suggest that at Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 20:43, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
