Our discussion
[edit]You archived our discussion saying "this discussion will never be resolved" but it doesn't feel like you were trying to resolve anything. Codename AD, I'm not trying to harass you but you keep dodging my questions. Let me make it as simple as I can -what is the benefit to Wikipedia of warning IPs and new users for triggering edit filters? Counterfeit Purses (talk) 23:57, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- The answer for my (inappropriate) final warning was that I should've issued a level one notice, and for 3RR I had forgotten to issue it to the other user, and the benefit of warning IPs and users, are to tell them why their edit was disallowed, and in case of a good faith edit triggering an edit filter that disallows it, it tells them where to file a report of the false positive. Codename AD talk 14:13, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- When someone triggers an edit filter they are shown a warning which tells them what happened and provides them with a link to report a false positive, so if that's why you're doing it, you can stop now. If you want to be helpful, why not try helping people instead of warning them? Counterfeit Purses (talk) 16:30, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
