Administrators' newsletter – August 2019[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2019).
Interface administrator changes
|
|
- Following a request for comment, the page Wikipedia:Office actions has been changed from a policy page to an information page.
- A request for comment (permalink) is in progress regarding the administrator inactivity policy.
- Editors may now use the template {{Ds/aware}} to indicate that they are aware that discretionary sanctions are in force for a topic area, so it is unnecessary to alert them.
- Following a research project on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to improve the privacy of IP editors. The result of this project may significantly change administrative and counter-vandalism workflows. The project is in the very early stages of discussions and there is no concrete plan yet. Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
- The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist.
Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

Submitting a missing topics list?[edit]
Hi Mr. Farmbrough. I have an index page listing for Wrestling Title Histories (4th ed.) and I was wondering how I could submit this to WP:MISSING. I've asked around but no one really had an answer. Thanks for your time. 173.162.220.17 (talk) 18:37, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- Just add a link to the list, in a suitable section. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:14, 12 August 2019 (UTC).
Appreciate the assistance. I've left a link for the page here. I assume I just copy/paste what I have once the page has been created? By the way, I did some work on a a Puroresu-related list from the Japanese Wikipedia earlier this year as well. It's based on the Pro Wrestling WikiProject's Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Requested articles/Translating Spanish Wikipedia which covers lucha libre. I mostly used an online program to translate the article titles so I'm not sure how accurate it is. 173.162.220.17 (talk) 19:51, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
- I created the page for you to populate.
- As to the Japanese page, it looks like a good start, if you can get the projects interested in creating the articles. I checked one of them and Kazma Sakamoto already exists.
- I have copied it to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Professional_wrestling/Requested_articles/Translating_Japanese_Wikipedia.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:10, 14 August 2019 (UTC).

Category question[edit]
Hey RF, can you let me know the purpose of the the 3 categories you created a ways back, Category:~country~ novels, Category:~genre~ novels and Category:~year~ novels? Thanks! UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:51, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- I've had a brief look in transit, I think it's probably to do with the New Article Wizard, possibly as it worked then. Am on the move again, will try to revisit later today or tomorrow. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 09:52, 20 August 2019 (UTC).
- OK it looks like there was (or is) a template that set up a novel page: See thi version of a user draft for some idea of what it looked like. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:55, 21 August 2019 (UTC).
- It is a cut-and-paste from Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/ArticleTemplate, UnitedStatesian. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:57, 21 August 2019 (UTC).
- Ah, thanks for tracking that down. But because that same page says "Replace text within ~ squiggles (tilde) like these ~ with the specific information about the novel," I think we can assume that the three categories with the tildes clearly should never have been created. Are you willing to CSD G7 the categories (I will recat the articles currently in them), or do I need to take all three to CFD? Let me know, UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:43, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

The idea behind creating them is that they should explain their reason so that people know how to deal with the categories if they are left in by error.
There should be something like this at WikiProject Novels:
Please help clear the following categories:
- Category:~genre~ novels (0 items)
- Category:~country~ novels (0 items)
- Category:~year~ novels (0 items)
- Category:~language~-language novels (0 items)
