Thanks to our closers of Phase 1, {{noping\|Primefac}} and {{noping\|Wugapodes}}. The following had consensus support of participating editors: #Corrosive RfA atmosphere #:''The atmosphere at RfA is deeply unpleasant. This makes it so fewer candidates wish to run and also means that some members of our community don't comment/vote.'' #Level of scrutiny #:''Many editors believe it would be unpleasant to have so much attention focused on them. This includes being indirectly a part of watchlists and editors going through your edit history with the chance that some event, possibly a relatively trivial event, becomes the focus of editor discussion for up to a week.'' #Standards needed to pass keep rising #:''It used to be far easier to pass RfA however the standards necessary to pass have continued to rise such that only "perfect" candidates will pass now.'' #Too few candidates #:''There are too few candidates. This not only limits the number of new admin we get but also makes it harder to identify other RfA issues because we have such a small sample size.'' #"No need for the tools" is a poor reason as we can find work for new admins The following issues had a rough consensus of support from editors: {{Ordered list\|start=6 \|Lifetime tenure (high stakes atmosphere)<br /> ''Because RfA carries with it lifetime tenure, granting any given editor sysop feels incredibly important. This creates a risk adverse and high stakes atmosphere.'' \|Admin permissions and unbundling<br /> ''There is a large gap between the permissions an editor can obtain and the admin toolset. This brings increased scrutiny for RFA candidates, as editors evaluate their feasibility in lots of areas.'' \|RfA should not be the only road to adminship<br /> ''Right now, RfA is the only way we can get new admins, but it doesn't have to be.'' }} '''''Please consider joining the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2021 review/Brainstorming\|brainstorming]]''''' which will last for the next 1-2 weeks.

Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular {{noping\|Primefac}}, {{noping\|Lee Vilenski}}, and {{noping\|Ymblanter}} for closing the most difficult conversations and for {{noping\|TonyBallioni}} for closing the review of one of the closes. The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented: #Revision of standard question 1 to {{tqq\|Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?}} Special thanks to {{noping\|xaosflux}} for help with implementation. #A new process, [[WP:XRV\|Administrative Action Review]] (XRV) designed to review if an editor's specific use of an advanced permission, including the admin tools, is consistent with policy in a process similar to that of [[WP:DRV\|deletion review]] and [[WP:MRV\|move review]]. Thanks to all the editors who contributed (and are continuing to contribute) to the discussion of how to implement this proposal. #Removal of [[WP:AUTOP\|autopatrol]] from the administrator's toolkit. Special thanks to {{noping\|Wugapodes}} and {{noping\|Seddon}} for their help with implementation. The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration: #An option for people to run for temporary adminship (<small>[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2021_review/Proposals#Closed:_6E_Initial_probationary_term_(optional)\|proposal, discussion, & close]]</small>) #An optional election process (<small>[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2021_review/Proposals#Closed:_8B_Admin_elections\|proposal & discussion]] and [[Special:Diff/1061827000#Close_review_at_Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2021_review/Proposals,_please\|close review & re-close]]</small>) Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at [[WT:RFA\|RFA's talk page]] or an appropriate [[WP:VP\|village pump]].

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools\|better tools]] to help. If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation\|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors\|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News\|the weekly technical newsletter]]. We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)\|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation\|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language.

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 [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers\|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 [[Wikipedia:Database_reports/Top_new_article_reviewers#Last 30 days\|100 reviewers]] have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently [[Special:ListUsers/patroller\|{{NUMBEROFNEWPAGEPATROLLERS}}]] New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All {{NUMBEROFADMINS:R}} 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 {{tq\|<nowiki>{{subst:NPR invite}}</nowiki>}} 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. <small>To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers/Newsletter list\|here.]]<br>Sent 05:17, 23 May 2022 (UTC)</small> <!-- Drafted by User:MB.

The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers\|discussion]] on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000{{efn\|not including another ~6,000 redirects}} at the end of May. Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.{{efn\|The number of weekly reviews reported in the NPP feed includes redirects, which are not included in the backlog we primarily track.}} In the last 30 days, [[Wikipedia:Database_reports/Top_new_article_reviewers#Last 30 days\|the top 100 reviewers]] have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month). While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month). ;Backlog drive A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by [[User:buidhe\|buidhe]] and [[User:Zippybonzo\|Zippybonzo]], will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/July 2022/Participants\|here]]. [[File:WikiProject Barnstar Hires.png\|25px]] Barnstars will be awarded. ;TIP – New school articles Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. [[WP:WPSCH/AG]] has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable. ;Misc There is a new template available, {{txl\|NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder: :{{NPP backlog}} There has been significant discussion at [[WP:VPP]] recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden).

Thanks for the useful suggestion. I will work on it, moved Milovice already. It is really helpful, especially with regards to links from other articles.

On one side, both Hranice in Přerov District and Cheb District are towns, so technically on the same level. On the other side, Hranice na Moravě is clearly a more notable and important town both historically and now as well (important railway hub). I am also thinking about places like [[Choltice (Pardubice District)]], which is a market town but [[Choltice]] is a disambiguation page listing only a municipal part (without an article) of another market town.

Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators {{u\|Buidhe}} and {{u\|Zippybonzo}}, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to {{u\|Dr vulpes}} who led with 880 points. See [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/July 2022\|this page]] for further details. Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the '''other 600 reviewers''' to do more! Please try to do at least '''one a day'''. ;Coordination: {{u\|MB}} and {{u\|Novem Linguae}} have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. {{u\|MPGuy2824}} will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years. ;Open letter to the WMF: The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements\|Suggested improvements]]). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination/2022 WMF letter\|here]]. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive. ;TIP - Reviewing by subject: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated [[User:SDZeroBot/NPP sorting\|sorted topic list]]. [[File:NPPSCrossDarkBlue&LightBlue.png\|right\|70px]] ;New reviewers: The [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/School\|NPP School]] is being underused.

The [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination/2022 WMF letter\|open letter]] finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-09-30/In focus\|current issue of ''The Signpost'']]. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section. '''Awards''': Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to {{Noping\|MPGuy2824}}), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to {{no ping\|John B123}} for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Awards\|Awards page]]. Check out the new [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Awards#NPP_Hall_of_Fame\|Hall of Fame]] also. '''Software news''': {{Noping\|Novem Linguae}} and {{Noping\|MPGuy2824}} have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently [[Wikipedia:Page_Curation/Suggested_improvements/Phab_tickets#Closed_tickets\|here]]. The [[Wikipedia:Database_reports/Top_new_article_reviewers\|reviewer report]] has also been improved. [[File:2022-10-16 NPP backlog chart.jpg\|thumb\|450px\|right\|NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022]] '''Suggestions''': There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed". Reminder: ''an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more.'' (from the [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Care\|NPP tutorial]]) Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue. This [[User:Lourdes/PageCuration\|user script]] puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar. '''Backlog''':[[File:Everlasting Fireworks looped.gif\|80px\|left]] Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/October 2022\|October backlog drive]] to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate! {{-}} {{refbegin}} ;Reminders Newsletter feedback - please take this [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Newsletter\|short poll]] about the newsletter.

I also made a couple of templates: [[Template:CzechPMs\|this one]] should be fairly straightforward, but [[Template:CzechoslovakPMs\|this one]] might need a review. In fact I think it would be helpful if we could get [[:cs:Seznam československých premiérů\|this list]] to replace [[List of Prime Ministers of Czechoslovakia\|this one]], which is not nearly as helpful. (Also [[:cs:Šablona:Cs-timeline-smlouvy\|this]] is a nice template - note that we are lacking in articles on Czechoslovak constitutions; sk.wiki has short ones on the 1920 and 1948 ones.) So if you feel like translating some of this material, or know someone who can, that would be nice; I can fix the grammar. :[[File:Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg\|20px\|alt=removed\|Removed]] [[Special:Permalink/1130211469#Inactive interface administrators 2022-12-28\|Nihiltres]] </div> <div style="flex: 1 0 20em"> [[File:ANEWSicon.png\|right\|150px]] :Let me offer one guess as to why Czech Poles still identify as Czechs in this day of (often EU-imposed) minority-friendly legislation and atmosphere. Perhaps people like to be in the majority. In a country where ~95% of people are Czech, and <1% are Polish, it's always nicer to belong to the much bigger group and really feel like an insider. And Poles can do that because they're not ''too'' different from Czechs. In fact let me offer a couple of analogies from Romania. First there are the Roma/Gypsies, who are officially 2.5% but unofficially around 15%, meaning that many have declared as Romanian, even though in appearance quite a few are quite distinct from Romanians (given that they originate in India). Second there are the Aromanians, who, although distinct, often find themselves more at ease within the Romanian group. For instance [[Gigi Becali]], an Aromanian, is a strong Romanian nationalist (as is, for that matter, [[Varujan Vosganian]], an Armenian), while other Aromanians have contributed in their own way to the building of the Romanian nation (people like [[Emanoil Gojdu]] or [[Andrei Şaguna]]). This situation might be akin to that of the Moravians (or the Montenegrins - my guess is that we'll see many of the 30% who declared as Serbs in 2003 go back to declaring as Montenegrin at the next census). On the other hand, minorities that do have a better chance of resisting assimilation are those that are compact, fairly numerous, quite different from the majority, and have a history of hostility to them. A good example would be the Hungarians of Romania and of Slovakia.

The drive completed with '''23851''' reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to '''0''' (momentarily). Congratulations to {{Noping\|Hey man im josh}} who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by {{noping\|Meena}} and {{noping\|Greyzxq}} with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2023\|this page]] for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day. '''Redirect autopatrol''': All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list#Requests\|here]]. '''WMF work on PageTriage''': The [[mw:Moderator Tools\|WMF Moderator Tools team]], consisting of {{noping\|Samwalton9 (WMF)\|label1=Sam\|JSherman (WMF)\|label2=Jason\|SCardenas (WMF)\|label3=Susana}}, and also some patches from {{noping\|Jon (WMF)\|label1=Jon}}, has been hard at work [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/2023 Moderator Tools project\|updating PageTriage]]. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in [[beta test]] where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of [[Special:NewPagesFeed]], to help find bugs. We will post more details at [[WT:NPPR]] when we are ready for beta testers. '''Articles for Creation (AFC)''': All new page reviewers are now '''automatically approved''' for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at [[WT:AFCP]] like was required previously). To install the [[WP:AFCH\|AFC helper script]], visit [[Special:Preferences]], visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit [[Special:NewPagesFeed]], and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script. You can review the AFC workflow at [[WP:AFCR]]. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that [[WP:DRAFTOBJECT\|draftspace is optional]], so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest. '''Pro tip''': Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own [[WP:SNG\|SNG]]? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is [[WP:ARTIST]] 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums). {{refbegin}} '''Reminders''' Newsletter feedback - please take this [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Newsletter\|short poll]] about the newsletter.

Any idea what other fields should be there? == Administrators' newsletter – March 2024 == I suppose you've noticed the towns I added for the [[Pilsen Region]], I have no particular interest in that region it was just the one I chose for trying out the new Geobox as it not only missed any sort of Infoboxes but mostly the articles themselves (rather than overriding articles for a region with more existing Infoboxes).

Technically, it's very easy to implement but why? One of the Geobox series aims is to be consistent. One feature (set of features) should have one color, brown: mountains, ranges and potentianally other, blue: rivers etc. It is something that has been largely discussed over and over again on many Wikipedia pages (esp. with navigation boxes). As of the color I chose, it's not the final one, I usually use similar hue of color that appears in the ___location map and a color that would be easily distinguishible from other Geoboxes (I tried perhaps 50 colors). I guess this way, especially with the Czech "Small Districts" one doesn't need special page for the small district but you can simply put a second (Geobox Region) template into an article on the town/city (see [[Nýřany]]). \|[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Sdkb\|Sdkb]] :* As of ISO codes, I don't think there needs to be a dedicated field, there are now four generic '''code''' fields which could easily used.

There seem to be a trend on Wikipedia in which it seems it is more a sandbox for editors rather than being a compendium for readers. So many pages now start with sometimes more maintance tag which discourage the reader from reading the article at all. The coherent style of Geoboxes should help the reader orientate. They always find the country where the subject lies in the same place etc. See e.g. [[Frýdlant nad Ostravicí]], the different colors in Geoboxes help you to quickly find out what sort of information each Geobox contains. I'd like the colors to differatiate between various topics. I'm not very happy with the current salmonish color but I haven't come upon any better.

That is an experiment. There will be a link below the box enabling easy editing. The thing is, the geobox template might be pretty long and therefore you need to scroll down a lot of text before you can edit the article. It gets particularly long if there are two Geoboxes on the page. See e.g. [[Bor (Tachov District)]] - this way, there doen't need to be a separate article to every Little District. But taht's really an experiment, that's why I'm testing it on such an low profile article. [[Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter\|News and updates for administrators]] from the past month (April 2024). I really appreciate any ideas, suggestions, bug reports. They only help to get the Geoboxes better. Quite a lot of their features are other user's suggestions. The latest might be a second field for a map, see here: West Chester, Pennsylvania. I would especially appreciate if you correct any imprecisions or unclear statemnts in the documentation as it's written from the point of view of someone who knows every deatil of the Geoboxes. Like the isuue with the '''map_first''' switch. – [[User:Caroig\|Caroig]] 21:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC) <div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap"> ~~:What exactly do you mean? It shows OK here.

Erasing fields which are not used might be a possiblity too, but it should be used with caution. I would still like these Geoboxes be as user friendly as possibly, if an absolute novice sees there's a field for say district they will know how to use it without any explanation. People keep asking me for more fields for countries when they see only two, for a possibility to set rounding ... just because they don't see those fields in blank templates. If you look e.g. here: [[Hindu Kush]] – all fields which are not used are erased and I'm afraid not many users will know there are much more fields they can use.

W latach 1922-1945 w [[Autonomous Silesian Voivodeship\|autonomicznym województwie śląskim]] (w ramach II RP) były dozwolone oba języki (język polski i język niemiecki miały status języka urzędowego - o tym pisał traktat wersalski). Obecnie (w wolnej Polsce) żaden język nie jest zabroniony. Obecnie w 28 gminach na Górnym Śląsku (w województwie opolskim i województwie śląskim) już teraz może zostać wprowadzony język niemiecki jako język "pomocniczy" (obok polskiego), bowiem w tych gminach minimum 20% stanowi ludność narodowości niemieckiej (obecnie 13 gmin z Górnego Śląska już ma język niemiecki jako drugi język "urzędowy").

Why did you merge [[Bougainville Province]] with Bougainville Island? Do you know that it is not the same, that the province is larger and includes several more islands? - [[User:Darwinek\|Darwinek]] 10:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC) :I know they are not the same, but not every noun needs its own article. They were not doing particularly well as separate articles. The island article was essentially a paragraph-long excert from the province article, missing a lot of history and other information. The idea is that it's easier for editors to grow a single article rather than two articles with 90% overlap. If there's enough island-specific information in the province article in the future, it could be spun off again, though it might make more sense to make subarticles along different lines - like right now we have [[History of Bougainville]]. -- [[User:Beland\|Beland]] 19:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC) == ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message == ~~== Marek Wesoły ==~~ ~~Thank you very much for your contributions to the page on Marek Wesoły.

It applies to pages generated by a [[large language model]] (LLM) without human review. * Following [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Temporary account IP-viewer\|a request for comment]], there is [[WP:TAIV\|a new policy]] outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of [[mw:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts\|temporary accounts]]. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can [[WP:PERM/TAIV\|request access to the permission]] ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses. [[File:Octicons-tools.svg\|20px\|alt=]] '''Technical news''' * Administrators can now restrict the "Add a Link" feature to newcomers.
