Guideline and policy news
- A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
- A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
- A
request for comment seeks to grant
page movers the
delete-redirectuserright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Wikipedia:Page mover/delete-redirect. - A
request for comment asks if sysops may
place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions
? - There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.
Technical news
- When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
- When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
- There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved ( phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist ( phab:T275322).
Arbitration

motion, the
discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the
GamerGate case are

authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people.

Outdated wrong info from warriors page! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.1.22.24 ( talk) 22:16, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello! Could you show me this alleged vandalizing? Outdated/wrong information are not vandalizing. I have taken a look at Warriors FC page and we never interacted before. The last actions I did there is to revert a change by 78.1.9.56 that removed content [1] SunDawn ( talk) 01:21, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello you have returned the article Do you have source of the part that was written?or what i was delete it? Sarazxs123 ( talk) 07:18, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Most of those whose names were mentioned did not draw a map, and all of what was written did not include any source from his books. I think I have the right to delete it. Sarazxs123 ( talk) 07:21, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- If you disagreed with the references, please seek consensus on the talk page, as you did major change on the article. Multiple references are deleted by you, which in my opinion are references that are quite reliable and verifiable. You can freely delete obvious vandalism, but well-verified references added by other Wikipedian must be discussed before engaging in deletion. I would also recommend to add well-referenced sources that back your views, as it is a better way to neutralize the article rather than just deleting points "you" thought false and wrong. Cheers!
