Contents If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected biographies of living persons violation, I will userfy the article for you. Note that using the text to recreate any deleted article may automatically qualify them for speedy deletion, and copies of previously deleted content that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion because Wikipedia is not a free web host. We have a list of alternative sites which may be used to host your content. Administrators' newsletter – August 2023 News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023). Administrator changes Firefangledfeathers AlisonW Amberrock Closedmouth Scottywong Interface administrator changes Novem Linguae Technical news The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338) Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431) Arbitration The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively. The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.

Administrator changes Pppery Theleekycauldron Dwheeler G.A.S Royalbroil Ssd CheckUser changes Bradv Oversighter changes Bradv Guideline and policy news Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after. A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment. Technical news Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. (T324166) Arbitration The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful. Miscellaneous Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.
