The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter. An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO. An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized. Miscellaneous A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed.

Hope you are doing well—I'm wondering if you feel like Template:Clerknote-accounttaken-usurp is still useful? I'm cleaning up Category:Username changing and usurpation templates after Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations was shut down. It look like it is never used (Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations/Completed/44 is a false positive). I lean towards a TFD nomination, but I wanted to check in before charging off there in case you had some insight as the creator :) Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:05, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
