Administrators' newsletter – December 2024
editNews and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
Interface administrator changes
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
Additional request regarding the contents of the /list page I had requested the deletion of
editIt's been a long while since I've been here, and finding that template I just used was difficult enough, even if it didn't take me long to find it (I guessed at the words to search for). To get right to the point; the first user on that list made some visual-shock edits to a few user talk pages. I don't know if you're capable of seeing them, but I would advise against that. Instead, like some edits that were made to my talk page that I cannot view the diffs of anymore, I would like to request those revisions be scrubbed from the talk pages in question that I reference above.
The edits are absolutely not safe for work. At least where rendered content is considered. But again; it's been a long time. I don't know or remember what the rules are for deletion of diffs.
TL;DR: An indef-blocked account made visual-shock edits to a few user talk pages and I'm requesting those edits be removed from the history. I don't know how to make that request other than to post on an admin's talk page.
Thank you for your time. Daedalus969 (talk) 10:53, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

WANEGBT
editHi. I noticed you deleted one of the redirects I made for Taylor Swift's songs, WANEGBT, which is an acronym for We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. I also created YBWM and IKYWT, which redirected to You Belong with Me and I Knew You Were Trouble.
I understand these redirects were deleted in 2015; however, nowadays many of Swift's songs are known by acronyms of its titles. A Google search of WANEGBT, for instance, yields similar results to those of the full song title. Also, Wikipedia already has LWYMMD as a redirect to Look What You Made Me Do, so why can't her other songs have redirects from acronyms?
Could these redirects be restored, if possible? Caipira23 (talk) 18:09, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Deletion of my article
editHello, recently my article on the YouTuber "BlazYT" was deleted and I was told I could come to you to ask if it could be brought back into a draft workspace. I have reason to believe that it is eligible to become an article but the page was ultimately unfinished and I was unable to add anymore because of the deletion.
Thanks, Jake. JakeTheShibaInu (talk) 06:43, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
editNews and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
- 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.
- 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.
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Deletion of my article
editHello, recently my article about 徐文荣 was deleted and I was told I could reach out to the deleting administrator for further clarification. Could you please tell me the reason please? I had planned to translate the page on Xu Wenrong into Chinese, but I found that only more experienced editors are allowed to do so. As a result, I created a new Chinese page and uploaded the same content as the English version, then added interlanguage links. Can I ask if it could be brought back into a draft workspace? Thank you again for your support!
