Moderator Tools newsletter - Issue #2Welcome to issue #2 of the Moderator Tools newsletter! It's been about a year since the first one (sorry for the delay), but we're excited to tell you what our team has been working on since then, and where you can guide our ongoing and upcoming work. AutomoderatorAutomoderator is now feature-complete for its initial release! Automoderator is a highly configurable automated anti-vandalism tool which reverts edits that a machine learning model determines to be vandalism. It can be enabled, disabled, and configured at any time by administrators via a Community Configuration form. Automoderator is now in use on Indonesian, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias, with other projects at various stages of discussion and setup. You can track data about Automoderator's activity so far via a Superset dashboard. To request Automoderator on your Wikimedia project, please refer to the deployment steps. We are wrapping up our focused time developing Automoderator while we review data and feedback about its impact. We also still plan to provide support for small Wikimedia projects with few/no administrators (T372280), and integrate the multilingual revert risk model, which is an improved version of the model currently in use, with support for 47 language Wikipedias. We're looking for support testing the multilingual model to better understand its behaviour - please check out the testing process and review some edits! Nuke extension ('Mass delete')During the 2024-2025 Wikimedia Foundation fiscal year, our team wants to make improvements to the software that moderators (patrollers, administrators, stewards, etc.) are using today, rather than focusing on building new tools. Although it's valuable to build new features, it's also important that we continue maintaining the important tools that are already being used to maintain and improve Wikipedia's quality. One such project is to make usability and feature improvements to the Nuke extension (known as 'mass delete' on some projects). We have contracted a community developer, Chlod, who has worked on the extension in the past, to help us with this! With the Nuke project, we hope to make a number of improvements, including additional filters, increasing the deletion time range, automated deletion of related pages, and bug fixes. Read more about this project, and provide feedback, at Extension:Nuke/2024 Moderator Tools project. Recent ChangesAs part of our efforts to improve existing impactful moderator tooling, we are working on a project for a few months to make improvements to Special:RecentChanges and related workflows. We will be prioritizing work for this project on an ongoing basis, but have some larger projects that we will solicit input for via our project page. We have a brief survey at Moderator Tools/Survey:Recent Changes to gather input for this project - please answer the questions if you're interested. Task prioritizationFinally, looking to the future, we plan to research and work on tasks identified as part of the Community Wishlist focus area titled 'task prioritization'. We'll be looking for opportunities to speak with editors about how they decide what needs their attention, and in particular will be investigating the Watchlist to see where we might be able to make usability and feature improvements. If you have thoughts about opportunities in this focus area please share them on the task prioritization talk page, or file a new wish! Although we have active engineering projects ongoing, we're always happy to chat about your community's content moderation tool needs - feel free to get in contact at Talk:Moderator Tools to let us know where you think we should focus our efforts.

Thank you today for Shovel Knight Showdown, "about a video game that was the last add-on to Shovel Knight. After my last FAC was archived, I've decided to revisit the Shovel Knight franchise to see if there is room for a Featured article somewhere. So let's start small with the last of the expansions, an interesting party game that was not as impactful as TowerFall or Smash Bros., but is still worth a quick visit."! - I have Michael Ruetz on the same page (see story), and music to express happiness and sadness. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC) Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:49, 12 December 2024 (UTC) Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered.

Stages of deathHello, you left a message earlier. When I made a change, I provided a source (journal article) once in the body (see article history) because I didn't want to repeat it 12 times in the references section at the bottom. Can I add the content back if I provide 12 citations for the same source (I added it before, but only once)? Thanks. Npabe (talk) 00:18, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

CSD A7 for Xinjiang Silk Road Eagle F.C.Hi there, just wanted to clear up my request for deletion by CSD A7 on the article Xinjiang Silk Road Eagle F.C.. Your reasons to decline the request were that 1. "[The club competes] in the fourth-tier of Chinese football ... is probably enough for a CCS." First of all, by looking at 2024 Chinese Champions League, the most recent edition of the Chinese fourth-tier, it is clear to see that none of these clubs justify an English Wikipedia article (and most do not have an article at all), with the exception of Heze Caozhou F.C. which earned a promotion spot to the third-tier but chose to not get promoted. Furthermore, the Chinese Champions League has no permanent members; every season, their entry into the league is determined by their performances in their provincial league/competition, and in 2024, Xinjiang Silk Road Eagle simply won the Xinjiang tournament to progress into the Chinese Champions League. Therefore, no parts of your claim there were correct. 2. "Xinjiang's first membership-based football club". I do not see why this is important in the on-field performance of the club, which is the main goal for any football club; "membership-based" is just how the club runs itself. To elaborate on the semantics of "membership-based": I looked into their membership mechanism when the club was first founded and it just seems like every fan can buy a membership, with only a select few fans getting a say in the boardroom of the football club. Claiming it's membership-based is probably an inaccurate claim, it just sounds like any football club which sells memberships. In addition, in no parts of the body of the article does it mention the club's on-field performances, which, considering the club only played five official matches since its foundation, explains why it doesn't mention any matches or seasons. If you need elaboration on any of my points, please ask me for such. IDontHaveSkype (talk) 19:41, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
