Hi, you tagged the above article for speedy deletion. You notified the creator of the page, but that isn't the editor who created the article as originally it was a redirect to something wholly unrelated. Could you please notify TapticInfo of the speedy? I'd like them to have an opportunity to contest the speedy. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:22, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

For an article to be considered good it needs to be in accordance with the following criteria: Wikipedia:Good article criteria. The essay Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not also develops more on each point (the not part is more for reviewers). Right now with all your copyediting we are already on our way to meet criteria 1), which is well-written. I'm UTC+0. The article has B-status so it's already almost complying with most criteria, we just need to give a "small" but arduous push. The Blue Rider 16:45, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Resolved
 – Removed redundant anchor at ICD-11#Personality disorder. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 – Moved to the talk page applicable to the article in question. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi waddie96. I'm not following this edit you made to ICD-11. Can you explain? Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 10:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

It’s an anchor for this {{See also}} link. In case someone changes the section title. waddie96 ★ (talk) 10:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
The section title is correct. Why would anyone change it? The name of the anchor tag you added, "Personality disorder", is the same as the name of the section header, ====Personality disorder====. So this is currently redundant. Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 15:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
What you say makes total sense and is logical, yes. But it could be made plural like in many other articles. Hence my changing it. To me there’s no evidence of a real problem here, so be bold and remove it if you feel so inclined. waddie96 ★ (talk) 17:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
The title of the official ICD-11 category is "Personality disorder", singular. See here. Yes, someone could someday change it to the plural, or tweak the title some other way. But having an anchor tag underneath every header ever made on Wikipedia feels a bit excessive.
You know what would be cool? To have a broken section-link be colored orange, instead of blue or red. The software has internal lists of all pages, I assume? So how about more internal lists with all sections?
Then again, Wikipedia has no less than three bots checking section links: FrescoBot (BRFA), Dexbot (BRFA), and Cewbot (BRFA). And of course we have GreenC bot and InternetArchiveBot. Seriously, Wikipedia ought not to have any link rot. At all. - Manifestation (talk) 22:48, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
I would not be fore: […] having an anchor tag underneath every header ever made on Wikipedia feels a bit excessive., I gave my reason why I put it there, you gave a reason not to, and I support it.
This idea sounds great:

You know what would be cool? To have a broken section-link be colored orange, instead of blue or red. The software has internal lists of all pages, I assume? So how about more internal lists with all sections?

Aside: But I feel most may feel then disambigs should be purple, portals and non-EN-wiki pages other colours, so it goes on. And will probably hit you with WP:AINTBROKE. We are speaking here to come to consensus, let it not be known it is a Wiki-bicker that us wiki editors are so known for. Also, the colourblind may jump in and accessibility issues etc. and instructional creep or clutter creep.
Thanks for your info in the last paragraph. I have reverted erroneous and redundant {{anchor}} placement here.
Thanks for the discussion, I believe it has reached consensus. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
