Administrator Elections: Voting phase

Administrator Elections | Voting phase

The voting phase of the October 2024 administrator elections has started and continues until 23:59 31st October 2024 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies for a vote will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

problem with Baranbot

hi. baran bot is flagging pages that are in my user space, NOT in drafts. can you please fix this??? thanks!! Sm8900 (talk) 04:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

@Sm8900, the bot is functioning as expected. It's notifying you because your userspace drafts contain AfC submission templates. Just a reminder, userspace isn't intended for hosting drafts indefinitely. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:19, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
ok thanks Sm8900 (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [2]
  • Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [3]

The Technical Barnstar
for handling the malformed meta link here. i'm pretty sure this is the right barnstar, at least cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:30, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Pending changes stat

Is a tool available to check the stats of the pending changes reviewed by user? RangersRus (talk) 16:38, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

RangersRus: There is a Quarry query that shows the count of pending changes accepted by users, but unfortunately, we don't have any data on how many changes have been declined. You can check it out here. This currently counts for 30 users, but if you need data for more users, like 50-100, I’d be happy to help you set up a report in your sandbox. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:03, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
If you want to check only your pending changes accepts count, you can run this query. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
thank you! This query helps. RangersRus (talk) 18:35, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Cielquiparle (talk) 11:38, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Cielquiparle: Please add a line in your message to inform users about the User:DreamRimmer/DriveEditSummary.js script. When installed, it will display a +NOV24 button just above the Save, Preview, and Changes buttons. Clicking this button will add a preloaded edit summary with #NOV24 hashtag. Note that it only works in the source editor, not in the visual editor. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:45, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
Too complicated. The simplicity of the Welcome message is the appeal. Can we explain the thing for the source editors somewhere else? Cielquiparle (talk) 11:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
Can we add There is a userscript at User:DreamRimmer/DriveEditSummary.js that helps add a preloaded edit summary with #NOV24 text.? – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:54, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

  • Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [4]
  • Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
  • The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [5]
  • View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

  • XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [6]

In depth

  • Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
  • The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Meetings and events

  • MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.

Hello @DreamRimmer, Hope you are well. I noticed on the NPP page that you have two open slots for students, and I would love the opportunity to become one of them. I am eager to learn and would be grateful to study under your guidance. Thank you very much for considering my request. Baqi:) (talk) 11:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Jannatulbaqi: Thank you for your interest in the New Pages Patrol. I will create your training page ASAP and notify you once it's ready. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:35, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Shall we start the training? Baqi:) (talk) 16:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Yes, you can start now, but please make sure to read all the instructions on the training page and go through the new pages patrol guidelines and help pages before you begin. Make sure to answer each question in detail, and try to complete one section at a time. Once you are done with a section, ping me, and I will review your answers before you move on to the next one. If you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to ask here on my talk page or on the training talk page. Wishing you the best of luck! – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
yeah, certainly. I will answer all the questions thoroughly and in detail, and only after carefully reading all the policies. Thank you very much! Baqi:) (talk) 16:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

NPP school (post-drive)

Hello! I’m hoping in the post-drive December to begin working with the NPP. I was granted access to the tools way back when the backlog was something like 18k and enjoyed the work. Do you think you might have a slot for me as a student in a month or so? I know others are available now but I’m in no rush and I’ve been impressed with your URA work. Happy to discuss at a later time but just wanted to bring it up. Cheers, Kazamzam (talk) 11:17, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

@Kazamzam: I am currently training three users, and I am hoping one of them will finish within the next month, which should open up a slot. I will get in touch with you in about 30 days, but feel free to remind me if you'd like! – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:04, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
I also want to take a moment to appreciate the great work you've done on the FEB24 and NOV24 drives. Thank you for your efforts, and I look forward to collaborating with you on future projects :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase function getAllStatements changed to behave like getBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [9]
  • Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.

In depth

  • Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work. [10]

Meetings and events

  • 21 November 2024 (8:00 UTC & 16:00 UTC) - Community call with Wikimedia Commons volunteers and stakeholders to help prioritize support efforts for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. The theme of this call is how content should be organised on Wikimedia Commons.

Hey DreamRimmer. I would like to receive training for New Pages Patrol. I have read through the notability and deletion criteria till now and it sounds quite interesting to me.

My previous account

I forgot the password for User:NGC 2736. CometVolcano (talk) 05:05, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

@CometVolcano: If you have linked a valid email address to your account, you can easily reset your password. But if there is no email address attached and you have forgotten password, unfortunately, it is not possible to recover the account. My advice would be to focus on your current account and avoid trying to link the old one. Since we can't verify if it is really yours, it could lead to confusion. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

New Page Patrol Advice

Hey @DreamRimmer,

I have seen you have listed yourself under WP:NPP/S. Thankfully we are in the same country and timezone! Though I am not free for a full schooling course, I would request you some advice. I would like to request NPP soon, and would like you to review my contributions, and tell me what can I do more to be able to not be rejected the perm. Any areas I can contribute more while working towards that goal?

Thanks for your time and contributions towards the wiki! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for the delay in responding. I will review your contribution tomorrow and provide some feedback. – DreamRimmer (talk) 18:15, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
@DreamRimmer Gentle reminder. No pressure though, and thanks for your contributiona! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
@Bunnypranav: I haven't had a chance to look at your other contributions, but I did go through your AfD votes. I noticed that you have voted in 10 AfDs, but your votes were mostly just one-liners without much explanation. You didn't mention the specific policies that support your reasoning for keeping or deleting articles. Many of your votes were in AfDs where a consensus was already reached, so it's hard for me to gauge your understanding of the policies. I would recommend going through the new page patrol guidelines and observing how others cast their votes in AfDs. Once you have spent a couple of months actively participating in AfDs with well-thought-out policy arguments, I'd be happy to provide more detailed feedback. Alternatively, you can also request NPR right at WP:PERM directly to see what admins think about your understanding of the policies. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:54, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
@DreamRimmer thanks for the feedback. Being honest, AfD has never been a place of interest for me. Is AfD experience necessary for NPP? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 09:52, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
I feel AfD is one of the best venues to show your understanding of new page patrol guidelines. Admins often look at your AfD record when reviewing your PERM requests. At the same time, spending time reviewing drafts at AfC is also a great way to show you understand notability and other important policies. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:07, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
I see, thanks for the tips! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Draft review

Hey @DreamRimmer, can you please review my draft Draft:Udne Ki Aasha? 117.230.143.80 (talk) 06:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Fastily Bot

Hello, DreamRimmer,

I tried to make sense of the discussion about Fastily Bot but the only thing I gathered is that you are working on a bot to pick up some of the tasks that Fastily Bot handled. The ones I'm concerned about are #13 (updating Database reports) and #16 (notifying article creators when their content creation has been PROD'd). Any chance that these ones could be included in your work?

By the way, I've meant to come by for days now and thank you for creating the Quarry query that locates drafts whose last edit was by a bot. I know that both I and Explicit use this regularly and it really has saved us a lot of time. We actually used to go through bots' contribution history looking for these drafts and this query saves hours of time. My only request is could it also include User:CommonsDelinker, too? That would make it include all of the bots we regularly come across who make edits in the Draft space. Thank you again for sharing your technical knowledge to make editing easier for the rest of us! Liz Read! Talk! 06:37, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Liz: I am going to take on some of the important database reports and two file tasks, and DatGuy will handle the PROD and other deletion notifier tasks. For G13, I have updated the query here to include the CommonsDelinker. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

  • Wishlist item A new version of the standard wikitext editor-mode syntax highlighter will be available as a beta feature later this week. This brings many new features and bug fixes, including right-to-left support, template folding, autocompletion, and an improved search panel. You can learn more on the help page.
  • The 2010 wikitext editor now supports common keyboard shortcuts such Ctrl+B for bold and Ctrl+I for italics. A full list of all six shortcuts is available. Thanks to SD0001 for this improvement. [15]
  • Starting November 28, Flow/Structured Discussions pages will be automatically archived and set to read-only at the following wikis: bswiki, elwiki, euwiki, fawiki, fiwiki, frwikiquote, frwikisource, frwikiversity, frwikivoyage, idwiki, lvwiki, plwiki, ptwiki, urwiki, viwikisource, zhwikisource. This is done as part of StructuredDiscussions deprecation work. If you need any assistance to archive your page in advance, please contact Trizek (WMF).
  • View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a user creating a new AbuseFilter can now only set the filter to "protected" if it includes a protected variable.

Updates for technical contributors

  • The CodeEditor, which can be used in JavaScript, CSS, JSON, and Lua pages, now offers live autocompletion. Thanks to SD0001 for this improvement. The feature can be temporarily disabled on a page by pressing Ctrl+, and un-selecting "Live Autocompletion".
  • Advanced item Tool-maintainers who use the Graphite system for tracking metrics, need to migrate to the newer Prometheus system. They can check this dashboard and the list in the Description of the task T350592 to see if their tools are listed, and they should claim metrics and dashboards connected to their tools. They can then disable or migrate all existing metrics by following the instructions in the task. The Graphite service will become read-only in April. [16]
  • Advanced item The New PreProcessor parser performance report has been fixed to give an accurate count for the number of Wikibase entities accessed. It had previously been resetting after 400 entities. [17]

Meetings and events

  • A Language community meeting will take place November 29 at 16:00 UTC. There will be presentations on topics like developing language keyboards, the creation of the Mooré Wikipedia, the language support track at Wiki Indaba, and a report from the Wayuunaiki community on their experiences with the Incubator and as a new community over the last 3 years. This meeting will be in English and will also have Spanish interpretation.

User:GalaxyBot/Reports/Top AfC reviewers

Hello, DreamRimmer,

I was wondering if I could alert AFC reviewers to the presence of this AFC report. I know there are several admins and editors who run Quarry queries to get a variety of this data but I think this report presents the information in an easy to understand format. But I didn't want to post at AFC talk before I checked with you. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 02:15, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

I am still improving it. I will post an alert at WT:AfC once everything is perfect. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:27, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Gotcha. I was just excited to see it since I see queries for this data all of the time on Quarry.
By the way GalaxyBot missed a G13 report tonight at 03:00 UTC. It usually posts a report even when there are no items on the list. Liz Read! Talk! 03:14, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
Never mind, the report came at 03:19 UTC. The report usually gets generated between xx:59 and xy:01 so it was just a little late. Liz Read! Talk! 03:45, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
@Liz: Bot was unable to query the database at 3:00 due to a connection error. After a few minutes, it retried and successfully updated the reports. If this happens again in the future, it will automatically try again after a short delay. – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:51, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
Stuff happens, I understand. I just tend to let bot operators know (after a few missed updates though) in case something needs tweaking. But I was here to leave another message so I thought I'd mention it. Thanks for all of your great tools! Liz Read! Talk! 07:49, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I really appreciate all your messages. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you notice something that needs fixing or have any suggestions. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:18, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
