Worm That Turned

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Restoring old revision of File:Screenshot from Un Chien Andalou.jpg

The film is now in PD in the US, so i think the original upload should be restored and reverted.--Mayimbú (talk) 05:40, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Y restored. Jay 💬 09:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Can you do the same with File:RKR wiki pic.jpg? The original file uploaded 2 days before the hidden version seems to be missing in the file history. --Mayimbú (talk) 17:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

The hidden version (from 2010) was smaller (10 KB). I have restored it though. Jay 💬 05:43, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
