... for what you said to Flyer22. Have a good (almost) new year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:10, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Gerda. As I said, I only wish I had made time to say something like that when Flyer could have received it herself. How are you doing, my friend, in these difficult times? Snow let's rap 22:42, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I am healthy but sad about those who are not, - more on my talk. Here, I turned to articles about people who recently died, and whose voices should stay alive, today on the Main page Wilhelm Knabe. I also struggle with a FAC (which I nominated prematurely - admittedly - just because it was Wikipedia's 20th birthday). How are you? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:46, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Inspiration edit

Snow, I was blocked for almost 2 yrs., but I still remember telling you before that even happened that your userpage inspired me to do something better with my own. It's still not much compared to yours, and it's still "under construction", but I have been working on it, and I've come a real long way from: this. Huggums537 (talk) 10:26, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello Huggums: I'm sorry to hear you hit a rough patch there, but welcome back to the work in any event. :) Thank you again for the kind words: my own user page has grown a little static and dusty, I suppose, but I think it still does a decent job of representing my areas of interest and editorial philosophy. If you ever need any technical input on formatting the wiki syntax for your own purposes, don't hesitate to ask: I'm more than a little rusty these days and was hardly a virtuoso to begin with, but I make up for it with doggedness to see things just right. ;) Again, welcome back!

  • When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
  • When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
  • There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

  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)

  • 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.
