- {{cite book}}
- {{cite}}
- {{reflist}}
- If you wish to use the same citation more than once in the same article, you can name the tag by modifying the <ref> tag on the first usage to <ref name=blah>; subsequent usage of the citation would simply need a single self-closing <ref name=blah/> tag instead of the fully tagged citation. Pitheciidae#Characteristics has such a reference you can use as a guide.

Administrators' newsletter – May 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2025).
Administrator changes
Rusalkii
NaomiAmethyst (overlooked last month)
Interface administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
Concern regarding Draft:Bryce McConnell-Barker
[edit]
Hello, Rlendog. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Bryce McConnell-Barker, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 22:07, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
XFDcloser error; help needed
[edit]Hi @Rlendog, Hope you are doing well, I was looking for active administrators and your reply came. I have a request unrelated to the that discussion. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 20:07, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- What is the request? Rlendog (talk) 20:09, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- There was a system glitch or error and closer also redirected two other pages including [1],[2] at the same time as you can verify it. I also took a screenshot as the process was slow and showing 3 talk pages instead of 1, the standard.
- I have reopened the original discussion now which was meant to be closed. Can you please help in resolving this system error redirects back and also change redirect of Talk:Fusion Engine.
- I can't undo it as it says the destination is the same.
- Also, please guide me on how should I report this error and whether it is frequent and known. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 20:15, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- @HilssaMansen19 I haven't used XfDcloser so I am not sure what the issue is. Do we just need to correct the redirect target? I was looking at the history of RfD list over the past couple of days and didn't see the item that was shown on your talk page, so I'm not sure where it should redirect to.Rlendog (talk) 20:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Apologies as I might have made it sound complicated. I am confused myself.
- Issue
- When XFDcloser is generally used, all the steps are done automatically with no errors on my uses until this one.
- The discussion was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fusion Engine. Only that page and it's talk page should have been redirected but 2 other pages were redirected along with it. They were deleted in their respective AfDs. [[3]move_redirect_back_req1], [[4]move_redirect_back_req2].
- Request -
- Please help by moving all the three redirects above back to the original form before redirect. I am really grateful for your time and help. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 20:31, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Third one is - [[5]move_redirect_back_req3] HilssaMansen19 (talk) 20:32, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- @HilssaMansen19 I haven't used XfDcloser so I am not sure what the issue is. Do we just need to correct the redirect target? I was looking at the history of RfD list over the past couple of days and didn't see the item that was shown on your talk page, so I'm not sure where it should redirect to.Rlendog (talk) 20:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Requesting @Liz here as well rather than copying it all again to tp -
- Hi Liz, can you kindly check the above and help out.
- Also, I was proceeding with NACD in an AfD, I have taken screenshot of the issue, and there seems to be either cleanup issues or XFDcloser maintainance error.
- This time, I chose Keep per unanimous consensus of keep on the AfD, there was a Redirection warning template verifying whether I would like to proceed with redirecting the above mentioned unrelated pages to another unrelated page. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 22:12, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Liz can you spare a moment and help reverting the redirects.
- I am in haste as this might cause confusion.
- Articles which were deleted but have been redirected by XFDcloser. Even after causing error, it is continuously showing this option.
- It notifies that already deleted pages (move_back_req1&2) will be redirected again to Fusion engine when choosing discussion consensus as Keep in unrelated AfD.
- Whereas, it automatically redirects if automated redirect is chosen. The result of AfD does not matter as it is shown again and again in keep, redirect and redirect.
- HilssaMansen19 (talk) 23:26, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Rlendog,
- Just updating about this. @Star Mississippi reverted these glitches. Still, thank you for listening and engaging here. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 05:39, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry just seeing this. For future reference, @HilssaMansen19, Liz doesn't use pings. So you'd need to go right to her Talk Star Mississippi 02:14, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for telling me that. @Star Mississippi. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 03:42, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
