- A request for comment seeking to alleviate pressures on the request an account (ACC) process proposes either raising the account creation limit for extended confirmed editors or granting the account creator permission on request to new ACC tool users.
- In a related matter, the account throttle has been restored to six creations per day as the mitigation activity completed.
- The scope of CSD criterion G8 has been tightened such that the only redirects that it now applies to are those which target non-existent pages.
- The scope of CSD criterion G14 has been expanded slightly to include orphan "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects that target pages that are not disambiguation pages or pages that perform a disambiguation-like function (such as set index articles or lists).
- A request for comment seeks to determine whether Wikipedia:Office actions should be a policy page or an information page.
- The Wikimedia Foundation's Community health initiative plans to design and build a new user reporting system to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken. Community feedback is invited.
- In February 2019, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) changed its office actions policy to include temporary and project-specific bans. The WMF exercised this new ability for the first time on the English Wikipedia on 10 June 2019 to temporarily ban and desysop Fram. This action has resulted in significant community discussion, a request for arbitration (permalink), and, either directly or indirectly, the resignations of numerous administrators and functionaries. The WMF Board of Trustees is aware of the situation, and discussions continue on a statement and a way forward. The Arbitration Committee has sent an open letter to the WMF Board.
Wikimania 2020 Bangkok
[edit]Hi Rich. I won't be going to Stockholm most unfortunately, because I really can't afford $3,000 just for 5 days in the far north of Europe. I'll leave that trip to the Europeans and the 70-strong WMF junket. But next year Wikimania is right on my doorstep. I hope you will be able to come. I will be making absolutely sure that my friends who are able to come will have a great time. Regards, Chris. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:38, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- That's very kind of you, I didn't know 2020 was Bangcock. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 07:29, 2 July 2019 (UTC).

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Pyrotechnics portal
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Category:Pyrotechnics portal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read! Talk! 01:33, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
Use dmy dates
[edit]Hi. I appreciate your efforts to add {{Use dmy dates}}, but for several days now, almost half of what I see on my watchlist is you adding this template to articles that aren't probably ever going to need it: in the topic areas that I edit, I can't remember ever seeing any disagreement of any sort surrounding the formatting of dates. Not even once. If the template does anything here, that's wikicode clutter. If your goal is to add it to all Wikiproject India articles, then wouldn't a bot request be the best way? – Uanfala (talk) 20:26, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
- One has to be careful of articles which are about multiple places and I suspect that a WP:BRFA would be declined per WP:CONTEXTBOT. However if it is distracting you I am happy to slow down this particular task, which is, after all dull (though almost done).
All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:42, 19 July 2019 (UTC).
- Oh, if you're almost done then there's no need to slow down. My watchlist won't mind seeing a few more of these. I take it that you haven't planned to then start adding the template to articles from other projects? – Uanfala (talk) 21:13, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
- Maybe in due course. The Pitcairn Islands would not take long!
- I have some probably more important work on replacing meaningless reference names (like ref name=":0" with ref name="Smith 2004"), which I would like to get underway once again.
