News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).

File:Green check.svg 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.

File:Octicons-tools.svg 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.

File:Scale of justice 2.svg Arbitration

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

A tag has been placed on :Category:1912 disestablishments in the Dutch Empire indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:57, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Would you be willing to do a speedy close here? With so many category pages tagged, more and more people keep commenting while it does not change the outcome of the discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:55, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

:Although WP:SNOW explains the non-policy thinking which would allow an early close, I don't see that the discussion is doing any harm. The precedent CFD called for a more general discussion, and this one does seem to be airing relevant arguments constructively. – Fayenatic London 13:24, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Anyone, including you, is welcome to comment on this redirect at {{section link|1=Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 February 7#Sports organizations}} until a consensus is reached. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Just to flag up that edits like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2007_East_Timorese_parliamentary_election&diff=1273751553&oldid=1273643426 this one] (changing the links to articles on parties) have broken the infoboxes in multiple articles as well as removing the colours from results tables and elsewhere. The infobox relies on looking up the link title in the political party module series to pick up the shortname and colour. By changing the link but not updating the module, the infobox displays the link (e.g. 'National Unity Party (Timor-Leste)') instead of the shortname ('PUN'). Could you sort this out by updating the party names in the modules (you'll need to keep both the East Timor and Timor-Leste versions because there are still links using East Timor and deleting that from the module will result in a similar result. Cheers, Number 57 18:29, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

:PS, in case you don't know, the modules are at (e.g.) Module:Political party/N. Number 57 18:29, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

::I do apologise, I was working through the list of essential moves that had been prioritised at Template_talk:Asia_topic#Template-protected_edit_request_on_25_December_2024. I took care not to change the parameters within specific colour templates for parties, but did not notice the loss of colours in the infoboxes. Can the infobox templates be improved to show warnings on Preview for such changes (like other infobox warnings), notifying editors of what else needs updating?

::I've updated the lists in the templates now, and the colours are now populated in the Elections articles, where they were populated before.

::Millennium Democratic Party (Timor-Leste) had no entry; /M has only Millennium Democratic Party, but that's a redirect to a Korean party, even though the entry is in the second (main) list rather than the first (alternate names). Should that entry in /M be moved to Democratic Party (South Korea, 2000), which does not have an entry in the /D page? or updated to the Timor-Leste party? – Fayenatic London 20:20, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

:::Many thanks for sorting it out. I don't think it would be possible to add such a warning, and also not sure it would be a good idea as in some cases (such as parties that only contest one election – like the Millenium Democratic Party) the shortname and colour are manually added to the infobox rather than to the modules.

:::Re the South Korean example given above, it should be kept in the M module for two reasons; (a) if it is moved, it would lead to infoboxes prior to the party's rename showing the Democratic Party name instead of Millennium Democratic name, and (b) the party may have changed its colours when it was renamed, and redirecting the M to the D will mean that the current colours show rather than the ones used at the time.

:::It is likely that there was no entry in the module for the East Timorese MDP because it never appeared in an infobox (so a shortname was never needed) and no-one had worked out what colour the party should have associated with it.

:::Hope that all makes sense... Cheers, Number 57 20:30, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

:::: OK, thanks. The party did contest other elections, but as a bloc member.

:::: Note that I updated both /L and /D pages re Liberal Party (East Timor) becoming Democratic Liberal Party (Timor-Leste) – please would you check these edits? – Fayenatic London 21:43, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::All seems to be fixed now :) Number 57 22:25, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Fayenatic london. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "List of given names derived from fiction".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion/G13?withJS=MediaWiki:G13-restore-wizard.js&page=Draft%3AList+of+given+names+derived+from+fiction request its undeletion]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:08, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

{{user|Anime1990}} created a bit of mess by moving/copypasting pages around, and I think this needs some tender lovin' from an admin:

• List of Pretty Cure (2005 TV Series) Max Heart episodes
• List of Pretty Cure Max Heart episodes
• List of Pretty Cure Max Heart episodes 2

...and likely some more. Paradoctor (talk) 13:55, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Paradoctor}} Sorry, I was tied up in a long project at that time. It looks to me as if this has since been resolved by {{u|Explicit}} or others. – Fayenatic London 09:59, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the pings about what I missed when I removed a few categories from WP:CFDS/Working. I'm assuming I just have missed them thinking they're simply noting the nomination, but that's a good excuse. I'll be more careful in the future, especially with respect to Wiki Project pages being moved. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:36, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Hey man im josh}} Cheers! I happened to still have an unsaved edited copy of CFDW open for review, otherwise these probably would have been missed until much later.

:Scanning which "Wikipedia:" pages need attention, from "What links here" or using Popups, comes with practice. My eyes now have an AI-like function that can look over a list and respond "boring boring boring What??" I also still sometimes miss links that should be updated. If there is a link from an Alerts subpage, we can't be expected to always check the main WikiProject page in each case, as it is nearly always merely transcluding the Alerts subpage. – Fayenatic London 22:48, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

The file :File:Localgiving.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused file. Uploaded to support Localgiving which was deleted at AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Localgiving) as non-notable. No realistic encyclopedic purpose to retain here.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
