News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2022).
In 2015, I started to standardize the bishops pages. They were a hodgepodge of styles, from names to titles to dioceses. I made a template and proceeded to work on them, a nightmare that took me two weeks to complete 400+ pages. One thing that I noticed was that for bishops who were auxiliaries, some had the Auxiliary post on the Succession Box, some didn't. Nevertheless, they all were going to have the post when I was done. My take is that succession not only is who you succeed but also the dioceses from where you come from. The latest thing I standardize was the "Prior Post" parameter in the infobox a couple of months ago. It should read top down with the prior post first and the first assignment last, on a bulleted list. Well, that didn't last too long as users were inverting the list. Same thing happens with the Auxiliaries, they get wiped out. I should open another login for the bishops that way I can look at the watchlist to see what get edited. Yes, it's frustrating since I'm putting in the time and effort. Roberto221 ( talk) 00:06, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2022).
I noticed that there is a redirect from "Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia" to Secular Franciscan Order. AFAIK they are Third Order Franciscans not Seculars. There was a good bit of discussion at Third Order of Saint Francis whether to delete or split ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Third Order of Saint Francis) also see Talk:Third Order of Saint Francis. The women's US congregations have been split to the pending draft in order to make the Main somewhat less unwieldy. In the course of that the Srs. of Philly got their own article. However, if there is already a page named "Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia" can the draft actually be accepted? Or should the content be moved to the already existing page? This is somewhat above my pay scale. Manannan67 ( talk) 08:45, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Hello. I saw that you blocked for User:The official account of me a week. I'd like to request that it be made a indefinite block, as they are very clearly a vandalism only account. I've just finished cleaning up after them and replying to several people who were surprised to receive this warning. Hey man im josh ( talk) 12:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
