[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news''' |
|||
:* A [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Partial blocks|request for comment]] asks whether [[Wikipedia:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Partial blocks|partial blocks]] should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site. |
|||
:*A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Proposal:_Procedural_removal_of_admin_rights_who_have_not_used_the_admin_tools_for_a_significant_period_of_time_(maybe_5_years)|proposal]] asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed. |
|||
:*Following a [[Special:Permalink/930227008#RfC on autopatrolling redirects|successful RfC]], a whitelist is now available for users whose [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers/Redirect autopatrol|redirects will be autopatrolled]] by a bot, removing them from the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|new pages patrol]] queue. Admins can add such users to [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist]] after a discussion following the guidelines at [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist]]. |
|||
[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration''' |
|||
:* The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 4|fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles]] was [[Special:Permalink/931649192#Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 4 closed|closed]]. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being {{tq|the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted}} rather than {{tq|reasonably construed}}. |
|||
:* Following the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019#Results|2019 Arbitration Committee elections]], the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: {{noping|Beeblebrox}}, {{noping|Bradv}}, {{noping|Casliber}}, {{noping|David Fuchs}}, {{noping|DGG}}, {{noping|KrakatoaKatie}}, {{noping|Maxim}}, {{noping|Newyorkbrad}}, {{noping|SoWhy}}, {{noping|Worm That Turned}}, {{noping|Xeno}}. |
|||
[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous''' |
|||
:*This issue marks three full years of the [[WP:ANEWS|Admin newsletter]]. Thanks for reading! |
