Technical news

  • Starting on November 4, the IP addresses of logged-out editors are no longer being publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account associated with their edits.
  • Administrators will now find that Special:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start).

Administrator Elections - Voting Phase

[edit]

The voting phase of the December 2025 administrator elections has started and will continue until Dec 15 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • Dec 9–15 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall candidates must achieve 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

hi, you deleted my sock's draft, draft:game theory optimal. now that i'm unblocked, can you restore it? thanks. ltbdl (master) 12:29, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry @Ltbdl, given that it was a valid G5 deletion at the time, I'm not inclined to restore it. Feel free to start from scratch. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:06, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i really can't remember the sources i used, so it would be really helpful to me if you could restore it. sorry for the inconvenience. ltbdl (jump) 13:18, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ltbdl: Given that you were evading a block at the time, I have no intention of restoring the deleted page, these are the relatively tame consequences of the situation. If it cannot be reconstructed without restoration, it should be considered whether it's a notable subject. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:20, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seasons Greetings

[edit]
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 20:31, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Table

[edit]

Hey. Probably a stupid question, but thought you would know the answer. Is it possible to link to a fixed point in a table and how do you do it. I know there are templates for linking to anchors such as television edits, but is it possible with tables? Example being 2002 Los Angeles Galaxy season, which would be better placed to the table.
