Re-notification[edit]

fyi, your moving comments around triggered a notification that I have been mentioned. I'm not exactly sure why, but I imagine you might get some queries from others on this. isaacl (talk) 21:32, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... oh boy. Sorry, everyone! no idea how that could have happened, i didn't sign anything... theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GalliumBot[edit]

Hey! I just wanted to give you a heads up that your bot seems to be acting just a little weirdly - not quite enough that I want to disable it from doing the rest of what it seems to be doing fine, but still a little unusually.

I have a DYK nom that Ravenpuff made a copyedit to while it was in a prep. As you'll see if you view that link, GalliumBot is logging that same change every hour. It also appears to be doing it with one other nomination by a separate editor. It doesn't seem to be anything critical, and I can obviously live with it popping up in my Watchlist, but I thought you may want to investigate. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 03:52, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As the other person who's nomination is effected, the hourly updating is getting very annoying, and the bot is clearly malfunctioning. @Theleekycauldron: please address this soon.--Kev min § 19:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DrOrinScrivello and Kevmin: thanks for letting me know! I don't have the bandwidth to address this for a little bit, so I've turned off the darn protocol for now. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:46, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
