Interface administrator changes

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)

in Phabricator if you have objections.Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_February_2#Category:Neo-Nazism_in_India. Hi, can you please explain your closure. This was a few users who are in denial of the existing sources and using Strawman to vote delete. I would like to get it undeleted or recreated. What are my options now? There are enough sources to keep it.
Hey there, I wanted to close the discussion on Israeli Jewish women singers per your suggestion, but I wasn't sure if there's a simple way to copy the contents of a cat. Any guidance? bibliomaniac 1 5 01:10, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi. A belated thanks for closing the Thailand/Siam centuries/decades/years CfD and sorting things out accordingly. I'm wondering, since Thailand is the broader term following the present-day name, would it be possible to have Category:18th century in Siam be Category:18th century in Thailand instead? I've been refining things into subcats like Category:18th century in the Ayutthaya Kingdom, which should belong under the present-day scope of Thailand but not the historical scope of Siam (which per the discussion is to be applied after the 1782 cut-off). Also, do you know if the year header template can be tweaked to avoid showing the inaccurate message, "Note: in 1782, Thailand was renamed to Siam"? -- Paul_012 ( talk) 13:26, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Even though the current designation for that ethnic group did not exist until the 19th century, a separate Turkic Azerbaijani language and ethnicity evolved in the 11th century. The earliest Azerbaijani texts exist since the 13th century (and are highly mutually intelligible with modern Azerbaijani, when transliterated into the Latin script). Medieval poets and writers wrote in that language, long before it was called "Azerbaijani" or "Azeri". The relatively recent designations of long existing ethnic groups is also the case with other ethnicities, like the Slovaks or Slovenes. There are no clear policies in Wikipedia about this, hence, the problem. -- Multituberculata ( talk) 06:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Fayenatic london,
I just deleted a template, Template:Wrong AFC submission, that used to fill this category which is empty and looks like it hasn't had any activity (pages added or removed) in recent times. You closed this CFD years ago and I was just wondering if you thought it should be renominated or just treated as a leftover category used by a template, remove the Empty Category tag and treat it as a regular empty category? It looks like the reasons for concern 7 years ago are no longer relevant. Thanks for your feed back. Liz Read! Talk! 23:33, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I saw this draft of yours on a list of drafts that will be deleted later today and I doubt you will receive a notification when it is deleted so I wanted to let you know what had happened to it in case you want to restore it and continue to work on it.

Thanks for uploading File:Leonard Curtis logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:47, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Fayenatic london,
We have three categories that have been tagged for speedy deletion, CSD G4, having previously deleted at WP:CFD. They have been sitting at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as pages previously deleted via deletion discussion for a while now. Unfortunately, the page taggers didn't empty the categories first.
Do you know of a way to empty them besides going through and removing 46 pages from one of the categories, page by page? I think you have mentioned Cat-a-lot to me before but I've never successfully used it, I found the interface very confusing. Can you help me out? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 04:24, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
I've taken a break from CfD, and have now come back. However, it takes ages for me to manually carry out the results, so I've started listing them at WT:CFD/W. Currently there are around 10 discussions, but I anticipate closing more. It would be great if you could.monitor this page and add then so the bot can complete them. ― Qwerfjkl talk 21:28, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
