[REDACTED] Oversight changes
![[REDACTED]](https://u3vuiephb.global.ssl.fastly.net/File:Oversight_logo.png){kind=link}
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!

Question from HaveYouHeardAboutTheBird (21:10, 15 January 2025)
Hi, Jen. I want your opinion on something. I was thinking about creating a re-direct page for rothbardianism, but I don't know what it should re-direct to. I thought about re-directing it to anarcho-capitalism, but rothbardianism is defined by wikionary as Murray Rothbard's philosophy, and Wikiquote re-directs Rothbardism to a page of Murray Rothbard quotes, so maybe it should re-direct to his Misplaced Pages page. I want this re-direct to be consistent with Misplaced Pages and other Wikimedia projects, so I'm asking for your input and opinion on this. Sorry for writing this long paragraph. --HaveYouHeardAboutTheBird (talk) 21:10, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi HaveYouHeardAboutTheBird, that's a good question! Ultimately it'll be up to you as the initial redirect creator (and anyone can edit or participate in further discussions after that if they feel differently), but if I had to pick I would probably go with Murray Rothbard as the target. Just because it seems like a good target page to send anyone who searches for "Rothbardianism" and encounters the redirect – the Murray Rothbard is full of information about him and his views – whereas anarcho-capitalism could make sense but I think it'd get a bit murkier in the case that anyone has an interpretation of anarcho-capitalism that differs from what Rothbard espoused.

- Thanks for your input, DanCherek. I think I'll make the redirect for Murray Rothbard's page. HaveYouHeardAboutTheBird (talk) 00:47, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
