Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Julia W. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Julia W.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity talk page

Hello Julia W.
I am somewhat confused about what happened there, because one post there was attributed to me that I did not write.
I cannot remember what the IP address was, and its visibility was deleted to non-admins (like myself). If I understand, a possibly inadvertently logged-out user wrote their messages (I remember there were actually two distinct messages in that single post, revision 783713007). What I then did was to sign the two posts (also in one single post) to make it clear that these were new insertions, substituting the {{unsigned ip}} template (with the IP address and time as parameters, revision 783719336, with my edit summary "sign").
Then because of the deletions I cannot track what exactly happened. Is it possible that the possibly-logged-out user requested revdel of their IP address, but that you erroneously replaced the IP signature I added with my own username just before that? Otherwise, was there an attempt by another user to impersonate me in one/some of those deleted posts? Thank you for your time, —PaleoNeonate - 22:17, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I'm really sorry, this is totally my mistake. No one was trying to impersonate you. A request for the IP address to be hidden came in from someone who didn't state a user name, and as you'd followed along shortly afterwards to sign I figured it was you!

The history looks a bit of a mess, but I think it might be sorted now? Hey, at least I did manage to nuke the IP address. :P My apologies! Julia\^talk 08:00, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

I made one additional change. Sorry for the mix-up. Julia\^talk 08:09, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

This explains it all and was what I hoped, thank you very much for confirming. This now makes me wonder how come a very recent SPA knows about oversight and is so careful as to request it, but AGF to the rescue, the editor has at least accepted to start discussing; another editor also already started a thread at the NPOV noticeboard about the recent events, so we'll see how that turns out. Thanks again, —PaleoNeonate - 08:21, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Table formatting of bird list

Hi Julia, I am assuming that you are going to return to List of birds of India - while the new formatting looks nice, I think it is going to take some effort to maintain it especially as many people make regular additions there and it gets worse when reorganizations are needed with ongoing taxonomic changes! Shyamal (talk) 07:29, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Shyamal! Yes, I will return to it, in bits and pieces as I find time. I understand your objection to the tables — I understand because I notice from your contributions that you are not using visual editor. In wikitext tables are a nightmare. For taxonomy updates, it's so hard to find that one species you're looking for in the middle of all the table markup, and there's all the table markup to fiddle with if you want to insert a species.

I encourage you to check out how tables work in visual editor, perhaps on List of birds of South Africa where tables are used for the whole list. I hope you'll find (as I do) that they are about as easy as maintaining straightforward bulleted text lists. As a long-term editor I was opposed to visual editor at first. I scoffed at the idea that it was "easier", or that we needed something WYSIWYG. But I suppose as life has gotten busier and my time for Wikipedia has dwindled, I appreciate more than anything how it saves time and effort, for referencing and for tables. It's a useful tool! Julia\^talk 09:32, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I can only echo Julia's comments. I, too, as opposed to the VE for a long time but it has really improved in the last years. I look back with bemusement to the days when I created references from scratch and editing tables has become so much easier now. It's still not perfect and you will need to switch to source editing from time to time but giving it a chance when you would otherwise have to tediously edit wikicode manually is not a bad idea. Regards SoWhy 10:56, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

I agree that the visual editor has improved but can we keep the third column of the table as "comments" rather than "status" because sometimes a species entry needs a commentary on taxonomic history and other matters. Shyamal (talk) 11:44, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Absolutely. Makes sense! Julia\^talk 14:03, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Gold dust day gecko

Hi! Would you be willing to add the featured picture template(s) to this newly-promoted photo? Thanks so much! Steevven1 ^{(Talk) (Contribs) (Gallery)} 17:15, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Correction! I see you already did it! However, I noticed there isn't a little star badge at the top-right of the image page. Is that a separate addition? I have noticed it on many other featured images. Steevven1 ^{(Talk) (Contribs) (Gallery)} 17:21, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Steevven! The little star badge is placed when the project where the image has featured status is the same as the project you're viewing. When you view your image on the English Wikipedia, it has a star, because it's a "featured image" on this project. If you view an image on Commons, it will only have a star if it's featured on Commons. You can submit it for FP there if you like! Julia\^talk 18:44, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Tables at List of birds of India

Julia, earlier this year you worked on changing the format of List of birds of India into table format. But I noticed that not all of it has been changed. Do you plan to finish that, or would you mind if I changed it back to text? I think it would look better if it was consistent. Thank you.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  22:45, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

View additional information

Why have I received this message? All administrators are receiving it. What prompted you to send this message? Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account. What do I need to do? Only to follow the instructions in this message. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites). Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable). Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers. How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)? You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:50, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

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 better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have 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 let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Indeed I am. I live down in Devon now, but family still up that way :). Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:07, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
