Set filter 131 to just disallow and tag?
I noticed that filter 131 is set to warn, and then disallow+tag the attempted edit(s), but do we need it to warn first then disallow? My suggestion is to remove the warning because the reason is about one or the other (disallow+tag). Thanks. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 18:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- The warning provides information on how to report a false positive, so may be useful. — xaosflux Talk 18:48, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Should that not be done by the disallow template? Leaderboard (talk) 20:38, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. For example, say in the English Wikibooks, a user blanks a page in the mainspace, and they see a warning about this action being unconstructive (that they may submit it again if appropriate), and when they do that action again, they are prevented from doing so.
- In addition, some wikis do not have a link for reporting false positives in the abusefilter-warning and disallowed interface pages that they use. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 21:34, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

A request for removal a template
Dear administrators and bureaucrats, please undo revision 25213946 by AlPaD (talk) because the user is globally locked due to using sock puppets, and its change apperas in all the Wikimedia Foundation projects, which were made by the Wikipedian in question. Bell Park (talk) 06:47, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Wouldn't overly fuss it, while unnecessary both are locked accounts and it makes no particular difference. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:32, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Request for Organizer Rights: Elisabeth Carrera (WMNO)
Username: Elisabeth Carrera (WMNO)
Reason for Request: Wikimedia Norge is about to replace the event schedule plugin at our website wikimedia.no. So, this is a good time to look at how we can potentially use the new Event Registration tool. We will also be looking at how we can make better use of Dashboards and stats functions at the monthly contest on Wikipedia in Norwegian Bokmål (example: no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Konkurranser/Månedens_konkurranse_2024-03). We want to make different tools work together seamlessly, or perhaps we can do away with sign-ups in Google Forms and some of the other tools we currently use? We want to improve our event workflow and our end-user experiences.
Criteria Met:
- No active blocks: I confirm that I have no blocks.
- Global edits: 1620. My number of edits is low, but I will be working alongside @Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) .
- Additional Criteria: Affiliate staff (ED of Wikimedia Norge)
Additional Information:
