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)

BEFORE or not?
The references to BEFORE being non-mandatory you linked to in the soon-to-end RfA date from 2015 and 2011--that's seven and ten years ago. I've been pleasantly surprised to see AfD culture changing to the point that yes, BEFORE is a behavioral expectation. Wikipedia has this funny consensus thing, where if a bunch of people will object to an RFA pretty solely on the basis of the candidate's understanding of deletion policy... Well, it's splitting hairs to say it's not policy. Much like saying N is a guideline, not a policy--it may be technically correct, but it doesn't adequately reflect how Wikipedia works in practice. In the intervening years, the tools for searching have gotten much better, so the burden of BEFORE is substantially lower, which I suspect is part of what's driving the community expectation. Perchance, have you found any more current repudiations of BEFORE? Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 05:01, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- It's not splitting hairs. We have a process for making it policy and it hasn't happened yet. The two discussions I linked are the most recent. If you feel the winds have changed, then take it to WP:VPP and propose it be made policy. If you cannot, it is not. I don't have to prove there isn't, the onus is on you to prove that there is support through a formal and widely disseminated WP:RFC. I know you know that, I recognize your name, you've been around for awhile.--v/r - TP 20:20, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Jclemens, the point that everyone is missing, especially when doing a character assassination of the one person NPP needs, is that whether you like 'BEFORE' or not, the issues in SoWhy's list (which did the most damage) are all edge cases. They do not represent a pattern at all. Within his permitted discretion, MB actually handled correctly in everyone one of them, and he is not an 'enthusiastic deletionist'. The 'crats will not bother to check , and there is no appeal to them to do otherwise, but it took other editors at least one hour to scrape the Internet for a couple of flimsy sources at those AfD. If that's what you expect New Page Reviewers to do every time they reject a new article, you can say 'good bye' immediately to the NPP process. Be careful what you ask for.

- Kudpung, Character assassination? Tone down the rhetoric a notch or six, please. I'm having a discussion about policy with TParis. You're welcome to interject, but you may not like what I have to say: 1) I suspect the overall bellicosity, to which you contributed in part, was the single biggest factor in the late oppose trend in the RfA--just go read the later opposes, obviously including mine, that highlighted it as a turn-off. 2) The candidate's answer to #12 was tone deaf. The correct response was actually in there--NPP deals only with new articles that no one has invested much time and effort into--but it was buried by a "BEFORE isn't policy" intro. I don't disagree that BEFORE is far more important when dealing with established articles, and THAT would have been a better way to approach it. Thus, my crystal ball says that if the nominators had spent more time plotting how to help your candidate answer questions and less time aggressively defending interpretations of policy, the RfA would have ended entirely positively. Remember, RfA is the one chance the community gets to assess how willing to listen to feedback and adjust course accordingly a candidate is. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 09:00, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Jclemens, I'll just say it again in case you missed it: If the community expects New Page Reviewers to do a 'BEFORE' every time they reject a new article, they can say 'good bye' immediately to the NPP process. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:13, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- So now might be a good time to get consensus to a notation in BEFORE that longer-lasting articles get more consideration than brand-new ones. I'd happily support that. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 09:42, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Requesting clarification
Hi, TP, and hope you're well! Your reply at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2024/09 § 2024 Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence 2 three days ago says two week protection, but the article log of 2024 Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) says the protection expired yesterday. Did you mean to write "two days" or did you mean to protect the article for two weeks? Thanks! Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 16:54, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- It was my intention that it be 2 weeks from that date. I've restored the protection.--v/r - TP 17:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
user rights script
Hi there, I saw you handled a few requests at WP:PERM/AP just now and wanted to pop by to recommend User:MusikAnimal/userRightsManager in case you weren't aware of it. Along with being faster than doing it yourself, it also sends a message to the talk page of the user you've granted the rights to. I notice you didn't leave any messages to the people you just granted rights to - were you planning to do that manually? (If no, I'll go drop them the template message. I just didn't want to do that if you were already writing something for them.) -- asilvering (talk) 20:34, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
BGerdemann (WMF) (talk) 19:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks :)
I didn't know I have much of a reputation :)
Anyway, regarding Polish sources - these days machine translation is pretty good and easy, as long as the source is available outside of Google book snippets. Webpages can be translated with one click, or even set up to be auto-translated given conditions like language. Documents can be translated by Google Translation (documents tab, requires pdfs) or by other tools like ChatGPT. The main problem I run into these days is that some stuff, particularly Polish, is not digitized, even in shadow libraries (which cover almost all English works, at least). But yeah, recently I've been working on Polish literature topics, and I often need help from Wikipedians in Poland in the form of asking them to go to a library and scan some pages for me... (those could be translated too these days without too much trouble, if needed) - and here it helps I am fluent in Polish so I can at least locate most sources I need through Google Book snippets. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:29, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Right. Access was the primary issue. But I know your name and I trust that you are very familiar with policies on copyright so I can assume the odds of you plagiarizing or closely paraphrasing a source are very slim.--v/r - TP 13:36, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
