Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

Hi, I see you left a move-protect at this article. Having the title here, rather than FX (American TV channel) contradicts WP:PDAB, wouldn't you agree? Thought I'd see your opinion before going to RM. Thanks! 162 etc. (talk) 01:31, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't know about move protection for that page, but I had reverted an undiscussed move as I felt the American channel is the primary topic because it is the parent of similarly named channels. This doesn't contradict WP:PDAB because so-called partial disambiguation is allowed. -- Calidum 17:12, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, partial disambiguation is a divisive topic. I've added it to WP:PDABLIST for now. 162 etc. (talk) 17:45, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

  • Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.
