Global blocks and locks
[edit]Hi DatGuy. Would it be possible for DatBot to archive AIV requests if the user has been globally blocked or locked? Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:11, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'd rather Mdann52 adds it to User:HBC AIV helperbot14. Matt: you can use list=globalallusers via enwiki or list=logevents&leaction=globalauth/setstatus via metawiki for accounts and list=globalblocks for IPs. DatGuyTalkContribs 10:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- noted - I'm already hopefully checking for locks, will try a few things to work out why things are slipping through when I get a few hours! Mdann52 (talk) 00:35, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- 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 news
- 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.
Arbitration
- 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.
