- Several areas of improvement collated from community member votes have been identified in the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines. The areas of improvement have been sent back for review and you are invited to provide input on these areas.
- Administrators using the mobile web interface can now access Special:Block directly from user pages. (T307341)
- The IP Info feature has been deployed to all wikis as a Beta Feature. Any autoconfirmed user may enable the feature using the "IP info" checkbox under Preferences → Beta features. Autoconfirmed users will be able to access basic information about an IP address that includes the country and connection method. Those with advanced privileges (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser) will have access to extra information that includes the Internet Service Provider and more specific location.
- Remedy 2 of the Rachel Marsden case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to delete or reduce to a stub, together with their talk pages, articles related to Rachel Marsden when they violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy.
- An arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been closed.
Mad Love (JoJo song)
SoWhy, just wanted to point out that the article was a soft deletion, not proposed deletion as you mentioned in your restoration comment. Jay (talk) 12:55, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Jay: True but per WP:SOFTDELETE, such deletions are treated like PRODs and eligible for RFU restoration on request. Unfortunately, the
{{UND}}
template doesn't differentiate between PROD and soft deletion, so I used that option since it is basically a contested PROD. Regards SoWhy 13:38, 10 June 2022 (UTC)- Oh ok, let me see how to create a similar UND soft delete template. Jay (talk) 13:42, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have created a soft delete option. Try out {{subst:UND|soft}}. Jay (talk) 14:57, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Jay: Nice work, thanks! I'll ask SD0001 to add it to the RFUD-helper script (I suggest you check this out btw if you haven't already, it really makes the job much easier). Regards SoWhy 15:10, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

James Woods
SoWhy, just wanted to let you know I reverted your addition on James Woods's page. I think one should gain consensus before adding content such as you did in the lead. Feel free to start a discussion here, Talk:James Woods. Thanks! The One I Left (talk) 14:43, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- @The One I Left: You were the one to remove the content, so per WP:BRD, it should be on you to gain consensus on your removal after it was challenged. However, I am not interested in edit-warring over this, so I will do so instead. Regards SoWhy 15:14, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
War of the Worlds review
There is on the “2019 BBC’s War of the Worlds” article a review James Delingpole in The Spectator in need of a source. 213.107.48.240 (talk) 09:28, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- I added the reference but in future, please do so yourself (see Help:Footnotes on how). Regards SoWhy 10:05, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
