Hello. I hope you are doing well.
Few months back, we had discussed a few things about pywikibot. I have been successfully running a pywikibot setup from toolforge since last few months (for Marathi wikipedia (mrwiki). In the beginning, the bot was running on grid. I think 4-5 months ago, I was told to migrate to buster grid, and I did so. Currently everything is being migrated to kubernetes. But the help/user guide pages are not very clear. Do you have any idea how to migrate the tool to kubernetes? I am also posting this query at VPT for more input. Regards, —usernamekiran

Hi, I did not know that this "mentorship module" is a relatively new feature on Wikipedia. I am inclined to agree with you that we have no sockpuppetry going on with what's going at User talk:Oshwah. Cheers, Iggy ( Swan) ( Contribs) 16:16, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello Mz7,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normalâ€. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Hi! I'm an admin on Commons, and noticed that you found a bunch of blocked TylerKutschbach socks on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TylerKutschbach that you didn't list due to WP:DENY. TylerKutschbach is also active on disrupting Wikimedia Commons. If it's not too difficult, would you be willing to share the socks you didn't list via email so I can do some cross-wiki cleanup?

Just noticed that the mobile IP range I am using today to log into Wikipedia is blocked (2600:1000:b100::/41). This isn't an issue for me because I have an account, but this is an incredibly large IP range (154,742,504,910,672,534,362,390,528 IPs) and there is certainly potential for collateral damage.
