Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.
This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.
At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [1]
We released “ add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [2] [3]
We have a few Wikipedias remaining:
When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [5]
We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [6]
We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [7]
It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [8]

Hey Wugs! I just wanted to wish you luck in the ArbCom elections. This time around, you were the only no-brainer, easy vote for me, though I did support several others with some additional consideration and/or research. I've had some concerns about the growing remit of the committee in very recent times, so it's more important to me than ever that we have thoughtful, carefully deliberative hands at the wheel. That's you, for my money, and I just wanted to let you know how glad I am you are standing again, so you know the level of appreciation out there, for at least one community member. My fingers are crossed that I'll be able to congratulate you on the start of a new term soon, as well! SnowRise let's rap 03:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Wugapodes, the GAN Report page wasn't updated on 27 December; it's lately moved from updating at 01:00 to 11:08 UTC, but yesterday was a complete miss. Is there a reason why it switched times, and can we get back to the traditional 01:00, or is 11:08 the new normal? This change in times also has affected the WugBot function that moves approved DYK nominations (now at :36 after the hour, and sometimes every hour, rather than every odd hour on the hour).
I figure that there's something up with the times that of various bots run; I've noticed that Lowercase sigmabot III, which normally archives WT:DYK at around 02:00, moved a week ago to shortly after 09:00, and since then has been archiving DYK at around 14:00.
Anyway, I thought I should inquire about WugBot's new schedule. Hope you're having a good holiday season. Good luck in the Arb elections, which may have its scruting done sometime tomorrow, or at least one scrutineer finishing by then... BlueMoonset ( talk) 01:58, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
I repeated a donation and was asked to join the edit function. Busy with FT job and life but I do use Wikipedia and am happy to contribute. My work is in the energy transition in NY State.

Hello friend. A minor correction, if I may. and unbundles from sysop the ability to view non-public parts of our anti-spam infrastructure
. I think all admins are able to view private filters by default (you can confirm by going to
Special:UserGroupRights, searching "abusefilter-view-private", and jumping to the 4th result), so I am not sure this statement is accurate. Just wanted to let you know in case you want to strengthen your nomination statement. Happy holidays :) –

abusefilter-view-private

, but
Special:LGR doesn't have that listed. I gather that multiple rights allow viewing private filters, and both EFM and EFH are ways to "unbundle" that ability from admins even if the specific right that allows that differs. —

Today's story is about Maria Callas, on her centenary. - Aaron Copland died OTD, and Jerome Kohl (mentioned in November) said something wise on Copland's talk, - yes, regarding a soft(er) stance towards infoboxes. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:41, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
A new church year began (listen), - a new era? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Back to arbitration (and I probably don't have to tell you, but for equal opportunity with the other candidates): did you check out the history of the infobox of Callas? Compare Jessye Norman, Kathleen Ferrier and Jenny Lind. Did you check out the history of Copland? Compare Max Reger, Max Beckschäfer, Colin Mawby (from today's story), and Benjamin Britten (who died OTD). What's the difference? If what you see changes your answer to my question, feel free to change, and ping me. I would like to see a way to avoid in the future hundreds of editors commenting on Mozart RfCs, just to kind of restore the infobox he had in 2006 ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:41, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Today, I managed to get the pics to snow (on 28 Nov), and heard a lovely concert, after listening to a miracle of meditative dreaming on 6 December (or just click on music). -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:29, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
... and today, to Paris (29 Nov) with a visit to the Palais Garnier, - to match the story of Medea Amiranashvili, - don't miss listening to her expressive voice. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:27, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
My story today is about Michael Robinson, - it's an honour to have known him. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:38, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Pics up to 3 December (with my shadow in one of them), and a story about Beethoven in memory of his birth. When the arb who wrote the infoboxes case installed the community consensus - in 2015! - I hoped these infobox wars were over, really. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 23:13, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for what you do and stand for! I wish you a good festive season and a peaceful New Year! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
Today, I have a special story to tell, of the works of a musician born 300 years ago. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:25, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 30, 2024, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac/Workshop.

Hi, Wugapodes! I've been working on a draft proposal over at Wikipedia:2024 administrative elections proposal – I opposed in 2021, for similar reasons to you, but I've come around since to the idea that it's necessary to deal with the hostility problem, so I've been working on this in the background.

December: story · music · places |
---|
Today's story is about Maria Callas, on her centenary. - Aaron Copland died OTD, and Jerome Kohl (mentioned in November) said something wise on Copland's talk, - yes, regarding a soft(er) stance towards infoboxes. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:41, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
A new church year began (listen), - a new era? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Back to arbitration (and I probably don't have to tell you, but for equal opportunity with the other candidates): did you check out the history of the infobox of Callas? Compare Jessye Norman, Kathleen Ferrier and Jenny Lind. Did you check out the history of Copland? Compare Max Reger, Max Beckschäfer, Colin Mawby (from today's story), and Benjamin Britten (who died OTD). What's the difference? If what you see changes your answer to my question, feel free to change, and ping me. I would like to see a way to avoid in the future hundreds of editors commenting on Mozart RfCs, just to kind of restore the infobox he had in 2006 ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:41, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Today, I managed to get the pics to snow (on 28 Nov), and heard a lovely concert, after listening to a miracle of meditative dreaming on 6 December (or just click on music). -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:29, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
... and today, to Paris (29 Nov) with a visit to the Palais Garnier, - to match the story of Medea Amiranashvili, - don't miss listening to her expressive voice. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:27, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
My story today is about Michael Robinson, - it's an honour to have known him. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:38, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Pics up to 3 December (with my shadow in one of them), and a story about Beethoven in memory of his birth. When the arb who wrote the infoboxes case installed the community consensus - in 2015! - I hoped these infobox wars were over, really. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 23:13, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for what you do and stand for! I wish you a good festive season and a peaceful New Year! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
Today, I have a special story to tell, of the works of a musician born 300 years ago. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:25, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, not sure how this mentoring works, but I wonder if you could look at some of the edits I have made to see if they are broadly correct, and recommend changes / improvements.
Thanks in advance! -- Marinos Ioannides 94 ( talk) 10:44, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 30, 2024, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 17:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Wugapodes! I've been working on a draft proposal over at Wikipedia:2024 administrative elections proposal – I opposed in 2021, for similar reasons to you, but I've come around since to the idea that it's necessary to deal with the hostility problem, so I've been working on this in the background. If you have any ideas on how to make it better, I'm all ears :) theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her) 04:46, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
