Guideline and policy news
The ability to create articles directly in mainspace is now indefinitely
restricted to autoconfirmed users .
A
proposal is being discussed which would create a new "event coordinator" right that would allow users to temporarily add the "confirmed" flag to new user accounts and to create many new user accounts without being hindered by a rate limit.
Technical news
AbuseFilter has received numerous improvements, including an
OOUI overhaul ,
syntax highlighting , ability to
search existing filters , and a few new functions. In particular, the search feature can be used to ensure there aren't existing filters for what you need, and the new equals_to_any
function can be used when checking multiple namespaces. One major upcoming change is the ability to
see which filters are the slowest . This information is currently only available to those with access to
Logstash .
When blocking anonymous users, a
cookie will be applied that reloads the block if the user changes their IP. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. This currently only
occurs when hard-blocking accounts .
The block notice shown on mobile will soon
be more informative and point users to a
help page on how to request an unblock, just as it currently does on
desktop .
There will soon be a
calendar widget at
Special:Block , making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time.

Thanks for pointing out "conundrum" as that is what I meant. Perhaps I am now permanently disqualified from RfA consideration in the future. ;-)
