== Extended confirmed protection == | |||
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Jakec. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. | |||
] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned ] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following ] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. | |||
In July and August 2016, ] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions: | |||
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort. | |||
* '''A bot will post a notification at ] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating ], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard. | |||
Please review ] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' ]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}} | |||

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins == | |||
Hello, | |||
Please note that ] based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your ] in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the ] for additional information. '''Important''': Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the ]. ] (]) 20:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC) | |||

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers == | |||
Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}. | |||
A new user group, ], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at ]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. | |||
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available ] but very often a friendly custom message works best. | |||
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at ]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.] (]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Outstanding Good Article Nominations at ] == | |||
Jakob/Jakec, it appears that you have left Misplaced Pages based on the posts you made on September 6, the most recent date you edited on Misplaced Pages. The Meadow Brook article was rejected after you failed to respond to it. If Leggetts Creek also fails due to a lack of response, I will remove your other outstanding GA nominations; there is a large backup of unreviewed nominations, such that we really can't afford to waste the time of reviewers who are expecting a response to their efforts, and (based on these two reviews) there will be issues that need to be addressed for which you are the only person who would (or could) address them. I hope to see you return, but if you do not do so in time, these articles can always be renominated should you eventually resume editing. Best of luck. ] (]) 20:12, 28 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
