Hello, I'm Sam! I've been reading Wikipedia for ages, then a friend recommended editing it. Born in Melbourne, Australia and a big fan of Australian football, Football (or for some people, "soccer") and some other sports occasionally, including Rugby League and Ice Hockey. Interested in Urban Planning/Design, Public Transport, Nintendo games, Football Refereeing (which I recently started doing myself.) and editing Wikipedia. The main thing I do here is reverting Vandalism and monitoring Recent Changes, using Huggle and Rollback. Check out my talk page if you need to get in contact! echidnaLives - talk - edits 08:16, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

I don't know what to do with this space...

Technical news

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Feature news

• AbuseFilter editors and maintainers can now make a CAPTCHA show if a filter matches an edit. This allows communities to quickly respond to spamming by automated bots. [1]
• Stewards can now specify if global blocks should prevent account creation. Before this change by the Trust and Safety Product Team, all global blocks would prevent account creation. This will allow stewards to reduce the unintended side-effects of global blocks on IP addresses.

Project updates

• Nominations are open on Wikitech for new members to refresh the Toolforge standards committee. The committee oversees the Toolforge Right to fork policy and Abandoned tool policy among other duties. Nominations will remain open until at least 2024-08-26.
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in West Coast Bajau (w:bdr:) [2]
