News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2022).

Administrator changes Colin M David.Monniaux • Fribbler • Grue • Kpjas • West.andrew.g

CheckUser changes Ks0stm Oversighter changes Ks0stm

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, a change has been made to the administrators inactivity policy. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
• Following a
  bureaucrat's noticeboard, a change has been made to the bureaucrats inactivity policy
  .

Technical news

• The ability to undelete the associated talk page when undeleting a page has been added. This was the 11th wish of the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.
• A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.

Arbitration

• Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.

Ive been looking through Category:Pages with template loops, and ive noticed pretty much all of your /scripts/ pages have popped up in them. Looking further into the issue, it seems to be originating from User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/template, which has confused me quite a bit. First of all, the onlyinclude tags dont seem to be doing much work, if any. The page displays the same no matter how i change it. Second of all, the reccursion is probably comming from the call of {{#invoke:string|match, and how you fetch its own content. Ill let you decide how you want to fix it, since it still seems to give the content back. Hope this helps. Aidan9382 _(talk) 05:28, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Turns out im mistaken. The issue of template looping is originating from the call of {{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />Script installation text}} in User:Qwerfjkl/tempscript. Looking deeper, the issue seems to originate from this line (<includeonly>{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />#if:{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />#invoke:String|match|s={{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />:{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />FULLPAGENAME}}}}|[[Category:Wikipedia scripts]]|plain=true|nomatch=}}||{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />#switch:{{{categorize|{{{cat|}}}}}}|never|no=|{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />#switch:{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />NAMESPACENUMBER}}|2|4=[[Category:Wikipedia scripts|{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />SUBPAGENAME}}]]}}}}}}</includeonly>) in {{Script installation text}}. I dont really know enough to understand the full extent of this line, so I'll leave it to you to decide if its posible to/worth fixing the looping. Aidan9382 _(talk) 06:44, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

@Aidan9382, It transcludes the page onto itself in order to check if the page has the category. I suppose {{Find page text}} might be better. ― Qwerfjkltalk 15:21, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

I gave what you suggested a try and its worked (AFAIK) perfectly. Those were also the last pages in Category:Pages with template loops, so i can officialy consider that as (hopefully) empty now. Thanks for the suggestion. Aidan9382 _(talk) 18:10, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

I see you recently reverted an edit at List of Australian Aboriginal group names that had changed 'lillup' to 'lollup'. I'm just letting you know that I'm going to delete 'lillup' as an alternative name to Alura. I'm a linguist and work with Australian languages and have been trying to find how/why this name came to be inserted as an alternative to Alura (who actually prefer to be known as Jaminjung) but it seems pretty clearly an error. There is a plant from Central Australia known as 'alura' (in the Alyawarr language) which has an alternative name of 'lilup' and I think that's how the confusion arose. Anyway, as you made a relevant edit I thought I'd let you know.

Hello, Qwerfjkl,

You tagged this category for deletion but it still has 68,291 pages in it so I'm going to remove the tag. The category has to be emptied first and I think you need help from an admin who closes CFD cases for this one. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:48, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

@Liz, I also placed an edit request at Template talk:Infobox musical artist#Template-protected edit request on 18 May 2022, and tagged the template that populates the category for deletion at Template talk:Infobox musical artist/tracking. ― Qwerfjkltalk 06:05, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello Qwerfjkl, there is a discussion open regarding edits made by your bot at Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard#Controversy_About_Report_Being_Generated_by_Bot. Please see and comment there when you have a moment. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:10, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello Qwerfjkl,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 816 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 861 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hello, Qwerfjkl,

I don't think you can find an admin who will delete a full category based on a CSD tag. All of the contents of this category need to be recategorized first to the new category, prior to this page being deleted. But you should be familiar with this process since you regularly close CFD discussions now so I'm a little bit confused by your request. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:56, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz, the pages can't be recategorised because it is the category page; it needs to be deleted so that the other category can be moved in its place. On second thoughts, a round-robin move might have simplified this. ― Qwerfjkltalk 20:20, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, that was my mistake (I was only intending to challenge the no consensus closures, not the earlier relisting I conflated them with). For what it's worth I don't think the relisting there accomplished anything either, but that's water under the bridge now. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:55, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, please could you expand your close of Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_April_23#Video_games_set_in_a_fictional_location, to specify which parents you merged each deleted category to? E.g. it appears from [12] that you merged Category:Video games set on fictional islands to Category:Video games set on islands, but not also to Category:Works set on fictional islands.

IMHO it would also be appropriate for you to state your rationale for merging to only one parent, as suggested by User:Zxcvbnm, rather than to all parents, as suggested by me.

I have no objection to you processing CFDs manually, as you are leaving a clear edit summary, but feel free to list them instead at

@Fayenatic london, Looking at it again, if there is consensus to keep Works set on fictional X, then the categories should probably have upmerged to both. I'll fix the closing statement and upmerge to the other categories based on my contributions, though it'll take a while - some of those categories had over 400 pages.
It's mostly easier to manually process them, as with Cat-a-lot I can manage <90 pages in about 20 seconds, so it's easier, although any more than that and I have to wait another minute to avoid the rate limit. Once I remove d ~1300 pages from a category, and that took around half an hour. ― Qwerfjkltalk 11:12, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Don't feel you have to do that just because I asked, though. There was some weight against my suggestion, and you may be able to find consensus for a single upmerge... but if so, the justification should be documented.– Fayenatic London 12:55, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

@Fayenatic london, actually, I'll wait until the DRV below finishes. ― Qwerfjkltalk 17:12, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
