Hi Jarry1250! I noticed that you are listed as a maintainer of the "signpost" tool on Toolforge. I was wondering if it would be possible to add myself to the tool, and potentially remove yourself if it is unused? I'd like to utilize this tool name for a tool to filter Signpost articles by tags, create a "scavenger hunt" of images utilized throughout issues, and create an email to email the EiCs. Please note that if no objections are raised within 14 days, this request may be actioned per the abandoned tool policy. Thanks! 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 06:36, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

This is a reminder that established
policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 02:27, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Could anyone please provide me with the most pertinent and proficient way to understand the myriad of choice's and reference options within the Wiki framework, because I do have a great time just scrolling thrhough all the different permutations i start to get anxiety after about 1hr into the academia like site set up, there's literally just a never ending rabbit hole option to open up another article or search for the most arcane and obscure documentation and it will either be in the vault or libraries attached to the multitude almost franchise like set up of wikilinks, Wiki how, Wikimedia etc etc Please don't think I am complaining, nor adding a disparaging message to the future cohort of users signing up the wiki universe as the teens and early adults are fully schooled in linguistics and punctuation shorthand semiótica, language has indeed become infected, and as Laurie Anderson spread the warning mid 80's language is a virus Wyerdsexnow ( talk) 21:59, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2023 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part.

Hi! We're currently reviewing all tools, so I filled in the metadata for your imagechecker tool, could you verify it's correct? Also the "view source" link on the tool itself is broken. Thanks, Legoktm ( talk) 06:36, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included
LunaEatsTuna,
Thebiguglyalien,
Sammi Brie,
Trainsandotherthings,
Lee Vilenski,
Juxlos,
Unexpectedlydian,
SounderBruce,
Kosack,
BennyOnTheLoose and
PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2023).
This is a reminder that established
policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 02:27, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
Other notable performances were put in by
Sammi Brie,
Thebiguglyalien,
MyCatIsAChonk,
PCN02WPS, and
AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
