A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
I noticed you reverted my edit that added coordinates to add them in a differing format. Am I unaware of something new? Is there a new policy on this or a benefit to the style you use? I'd be grateful to learn something new here... Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 01:23, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reversion of Volcano House article
Uh... I think I did something embarrassing. I intended to add the coordinates of Volcano House. I did not see them on the page because I suddenly recalled Huell Howser lived there. I looked them up and ogled the house, thinking about how nice he was and missing him, (we very briefly worked on the same project once) then I think I *removed your coordinates*. I am SO SORRY.

@Oona Wikiwalker: OK. I couldn't see any reason for you to delete the coordinates with the comment "Removed unnecessary tag". As for the coordinates in Soldier Creek (Los Angeles County, California) refered to in your message above, you replaced the {{coord}} template I had added with one lacking the |type= and |region= parameters, which seemed to me to be a disimprovement. When coordinates are already present in an article, there's usually no reason to replace them unless they turn out to be inaccurate or otherwise deficient.

In the first instance I commented "Removed unnecessary tag" because I saw the {{coord}} tag and conflated it with the {{{coord missing}} tag. I did not see your edit in either page and I didn't look for them because I picked the pages up from the backlog. This is the first time in a year of getting articles that way that I came across this situation. Pages with coordinates added to them usually leave the backlog within a few minutes. Have a nice day.

Administrators can now nuke pages created by a user or IP address from the last 90 days, up from the initial 30 days. T380846
A 'Recreated' tag will now be added to pages that were created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted and it can be used as a filter in Special:RecentChanges and Special:NewPages. T56145
