Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

WROC (AM)

Hello,

Just following up on why my edit on 95.7 FM was reverted (no harm, I promise!)

I know that the station's primary callsign is WROC AM, but they do have a 95.7 FM signal. Would it be alright to add it back with a note saying that 95.7 is the FM frequency of this station? The station is currently branded as 95.7 The Fan and was formerly ESPN 95.7 Rochester.

Thanks, WuTang94 (talk) 05:16, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Perfectly reasonable question – should probably have given a better edit summary. The 95.7 FM signal is broadcast translator W239BF, which is rebroadcasting the WROC signal; the convention for these frequency lists is that we only include fully-licensed radio stations themselves. If you look at the United States section of that page, you'll see that it's all call signs in the KABC or WBCD-FM format; no translators.

If you look at the 950 AM page, WROC is listed there, as that's its licensed frequency. Mlaffs (talk) 15:28, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Fair enough, if that simplifies things. Thanks!--WuTang94 (talk) 18:42, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
