Regarding page reviewer
Thank you to everyone who recommended I try out the New Page Reviewer right, however, I have opted not to make it permanent nor do I intend on returning to it for as long as this message is up. New page reviewing doesn't seem to make sense to me given all I've ever used it for (mostly) was page reviewing redirects following bad article attempts. Even that part of Wikipedia has given me a small amount of stress, and I've had to back away from disputes to avoid making that stress worse.
In short, it doesn't make sense to me to keep a user right if I know I'm not going to use it as frequently, especially given I might leave Wikipedia within the next few years. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi. I was coming here to leave a message to you regarding NPP, and saw this. Too bad, we could use quality folks over there, but I definitely understand about the stress. Thanks for all you do. Onel5969 TT me 15:21, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
TV series season page titles
Hello, JalenFolf,
Because of this RFC completed in March all TV series page titles that list a season have had the parentheses removed. I don't agree with this decision, I think it looks awful but on March 30th, a bot changed TV series season page titles to remove all of the existing parentheses. The exception seems to have been if the page title was for a redirect, not an article, then it wasn't corrected. But if an editor wants you to move a TV series season back to the old style, then know that at some point, it will be moved back to accommodate the new consensus on how TV series season page titles should appear. Just letting you know. Liz Read! Talk!
DRV requires that I ask you to restore the page for discussion before opening a deletion review, which will automatically restore the page for discussion anyway. Just respond that you refuse to restore the page for discussion and I can go ahead and start the DRV. Hyperbolick (talk) 19:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Feel free to start the DRV. As the existing AfD established the content be merged into the main page, and despite no such merge taking place, I will opt not to restore the content and allow the DRV to take place. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 19:39, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Didn't recall previous AFD so I've merged. no DRV needed. Every other show of this type has their episode list in their article, why should this one be different. Hyperbolick (talk) 19:50, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Short descs
Hello. Is there an important reason to match descriptors in name pages with the short descriptions of those articles? I feel like an edit like this (the short description part, not the long comment) reduces helpful information and so I wanted to know if there was a good reason. Or should I just change the short description of Dorothy von Beroldingen? AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 23:43, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Changing the short description to bring back said helpful information depends on whether the new text would be within the limits of WP:SDLENGTH. I will not be opposed to restoration of the helpful info if it can fit the length requirements. Additionally, templates like {{Anbl}} by default grab from this short description.

Administrators' newsletter – May 2024
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
- Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
