== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) == | |||
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community. | |||
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are ] to "have strong passwords and ]." We have ] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, ] remains an ''optional'' means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. | |||
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered. | |||

== Draft:James Jesse Dunn --->James Jesse Dunn == | |||
Hi JPG-GR | |||
This morning I was trying to move the file Draft:James Jesse Dunn to the main article space when something went amazingly wrong: All the pages seemed to move correctly except the Talk page. I tried to replace the new version of the Draft Talk page, but was unable to do so. About that time, I lost the connection between my computer and my ISP. I couldn't reconnect until much later this afternoon, when I found the message to contact you. | |||
The page currently on WP seems to have the same content as the version I was trying to upload (except that it is marked Draft, so it appears to me that those marks can be easily changed and that the result could be uploaded to the main site. I don't want to risk recreating this morning's upset without first contacting you, since I'm not sure why the problem occurred in the first place. | |||
Any other suggestions? Thanks, ] (]) 00:36, 4 June 2019 (UTC) | |||

== Weather Templates == | |||
I have changed the wikiproject flood and wikiproject Weather Data and Instrumentation to place articles under weather instead of meteorology. Please do not revert those templates again as you are removing articles from the new WP weather project. The template changes were designed to place those articles into the correct taskforces automatically without changing the wikiproject template on thousands of articles. ]<sup>]</sup> 23:22, 11 April 2021 (UTC) | |||
:Perhaps I misunderstood your intentions. Your modifications to these templates have landed them both in ], so you'll want to take a look and see which parameters you still need to modify to correct the errors. ] (]) 00:23, 12 April 2021 (UTC) | |||
:: I have asked multiple people about them as I simply changed/added taskforce parameters and changed the wikiproject label. As far as I can see, this doesn't affect article categorization or the display on article talk pages. The error appears to be restricted to just the template page itself. Nobody seems to be able to figure it out as of yet, but the only problem seems to be that orange banner. ]<sup>]</sup> 00:27, 12 April 2021 (UTC) | |||
:::I think I'm starting to understand what's going on - you're trying to use {{tlx|WikiProject Floods}} as a shortcut for {{tlx|WikiProject Weather|<nowiki>floods-task-force=yes</nowiki>}}, correct? This isn't the proper way to do it, and it's probably gonna cause other issues down the road that aren't manifesting themselves now. I can understand that you may not want to edit a bunch of Talk pages, so you may want to see if someone can can do so programmatically - check out ] and its related pages. ] (]) 21:57, 12 April 2021 (UTC) | |||
::::I posted there to ask if there was a bot that could change all of those. For the meantime, the templates can remain this way. Somehow, WP Met was able to use these kinds of shortcuts for years without any problems. ]<sup>]</sup> 22:53, 12 April 2021 (UTC) | |||

== How we will see unregistered users == | |||
<section begin=content/> | |||
Hi! | |||
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. | |||
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. | |||
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on ] to help. | |||
If you have not seen it before, you can ]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can ] to ]. | |||
We have ] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can ]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January. | |||
Thank you. | |||

== Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research == | |||
== M.A.S.K. UK VHS releases (edit I made) == | |||
Hello, | |||
My edit to the M.A.S.K. UK VHS releases was correct, in that a large number of the 65 first season episodes were only broadcast and never commercially released. My edit, that there were four VHS releases, distributed under ‘Golden Book Video’ (‘Golden Vision’), featuring two episodes of the racing series (season 2), and regarding the rare ‘St. Michael’ video, featuring the two racing series (season 2) episodes - ‘For One Shining Moment’ and ‘High Noon’, was additionally correct (when one wouldn’t expect all 10 episodes of season 2, the racing series, to be commercially released, when episodes of most shows are only broadcast). ] (]) 23:26, 18 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback.

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes.

The edit summary field looks like this: | |||

'''Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.''' With a ] you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting {{myprefs|3|check=Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary}}, and then click the "Save" button. | |||

:For someone who themselves has an issue with failing to include an edit summary with their edits (such as these three edits to the page in question on the same calendar date: ), I find it odd that you would (mis)identify my edit as it ''did'' have an edit summary. You may want to be a little more careful with your edits, in general, such as to prevent removing accurate information as you did in the edit I undid. | |||
:Also, it's generally regarded as bad form to ], especially after realizing that the undoing of your mistake was correct. ] (]) 00:34, 14 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
::Reverting is not an edit summary, and is in need of an explanation far more than maintenance edits, otherwise it can be assumed to be disruptive and in bad faith.

Cheers. -- ]<sub> ]</sub> 00:41, 14 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
:::Considering I've had the checkbox noted in the template you dropped checked for more years than I can remember, the software appears to disagree with your take. Moreover, in my experience, editors whom have a poor edit summary rate (such as yours, 71.5% - you should check that checkbox yourself) don't tend to pay much attention to the edit summary when they are reverted. | |||
:::Regardless, I am hopeful that when you are doing what you call "maintenance edits" in the future, you won't accidentally leave articles in a factually incorrect state, such as you did with . However, I'll be sure to leave a detailed edit summary in the unlikely event I have to fix your errors again in the future. ] (]) 01:02, 14 April 2023 (UTC) | |||

Deletion discussion about WTBI-FM
Hello JPG-GR, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, WTBI-FM, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/WTBI-FM.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Chris troutman}}
. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
BGerdemann (WMF) (talk) 19:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of KGGM
The article KGGM has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Zero secondary sources, no evidence of meeting WP:GNG.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. AusLondonder (talk) 22:20, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
