Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Minor thing
I came across your Elon Musk and the right’s war on Misplaced Pages via Scoop: Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Misplaced Pages editors.
Nitpick: "But Misplaced Pages's transparency makes manipulation visible and correctable: every edit is publicly logged, discussed, and reversible."
Discuss-able perhaps, but thankfully not necessarily discussed. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:47, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Wikipedia_Signpost/2025-01-15/Op-ed
Thank you. I 100% endorse. I was doxxed by conservatives who were irritated that I deleted an article about a NN conservative group. Bearian (talk) 17:58, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ugh, I'm really sorry to hear that. Stay safe. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 19:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
