I used to be a daily obsessive here in an earlier phase of my life, but serving on non-profit committees, then work, then study took me away. I will be here more than I was, but primarily sticking with maintenance tasks, fixing my own old lists, and editing here and there on politics, local government and electoral geography when time permits.

AWB accessHi, I saw you make this edit - but if you can edit that page, you must be an admin; and according to the last paragraph of Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage#Requesting access, admins have AWB as a standard part of the toolkit. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:01, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Lowering the protection on Craig Kelly's pageHi, could the protection on Craig Kelly (politician) please be lowered to Wikipedia:Pending changes? My understanding is that this would allow all people to make changes but would still maintain a level of protection against vandalism etc. for this controversial crossbencher. This kind of protection has been in use on other politicians' pages such as Joe Hockey's for years with success. Thank you for your consideration. --159.196.100.171 (talk) 07:41, 17 March 2021 (UTC) Happy First Edit Day!You have....... an email.

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) AutopatrolledHi Orderinchaos. I realise this is some time ago, but we're currently having an informal look through inactive users with autopatrolled, and I noticed that you granted it to a batch of new accounts back in 2014–2015. I don't know if that was common practice back then, but it isn't now, and given that none of the editors have continued editing, would you object if I revoked it from them? – Joe (talk) 14:48, 20 December 2021 (UTC) How we will see unregistered usersHi! 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) 18:13, 4 January 2022 (UTC) Nomination for deletion of Template:Suburbs of AlbanyTemplate:Suburbs of Albany has been nominated for deletion.
