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.
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.
Arbitration
- 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.
Miscellaneous
- 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!
Minor thing
[edit]I came across your Elon Musk and the right’s war on Wikipedia via Scoop: Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors.
Nitpick: "But Wikipedia's transparency makes manipulation visible and correctable: every edit is publicly logged, discussed, and reversible."
Discuss-able perhaps, but thankfully not necessarily discussed. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:47, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. I 100% endorse. I was doxxed by conservatives who were irritated that I deleted an article about a NN conservative group. Bearian (talk) 17:58, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ugh, I'm really sorry to hear that. Stay safe. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 19:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

User:GorillaWarfare/script/curlies.js bug
[edit]Hey, I was using User:GorillaWarfare/script/curlies.js here and in the text „Св. св. Кирил и Методий” it replaced only the closing quote, leading to „Св. св. Кирил и Методий" Gonnym (talk) 15:24, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Gonnym: What is the intended behavior here? GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 18:04, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- MOS:CURLY says not
use accent marks, backticks (`text´), low-high („ “) or guillemet (« ») marks as quotation marks (except when such marks are internal to quoted non-English text [...])
so either the script changes both start and end or ignores start and end. If the script is smart enough to know if the text is inside a quote having it replace the other usages would be great. Gonnym (talk) 19:59, 6 February 2025 (UTC)- I've made the change so that „ will be replaced with " now. It's a very basic script, so it is not smart enough to detect quotes in quotes in its current form. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 20:27, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Tenrei Ōta
[edit]
On 13 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tenrei Ōta, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that birth-control advocate Tenrei Ōta (pictured) changed his name and went into hiding after he was repeatedly arrested for his work? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tenrei Ōta. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Tenrei Ōta), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
