An amazing diff and the fact that you're still being pointed to should cheer you up.
We still don't have immersion boiler and I need to either put double town/town couple on the list (Special:Whatlinkshere/double town) or get around to submitting it at User talk:Drmies.

ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message
Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
How we will see unregistered users
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 better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways 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 let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Thimerosal
My information on the use of this mercury compound in zinc-air hearing aid button cells came to me by an electrochemical engineer at RayOVac, and the Chief Engineer at Phonak USA, the largest hearing aid mfr in the world and largest buyer of VARTA hearing aid batteries (private labeled Phonak in many countries), as when the ban went into effect in 5 states, they pushed it on everybody as the EU also banned it. This caused energy storage capacity to drop about 20% at first as the battery mfr's scrambled to find a substitute (to the detriment of hearing aid, CI, and BAHA users worldwide; and VARTA was the first to solve the riddle in late 2017, gaining back what was lost, per the testing performed at Phonak USA and also at their Stäfa HQ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Discpad (talk • contribs)
