User talk:Hiding

I currently have other priorities. Please continue to message me as I will make an effort to comment on important discussions such as deletion debates or concerns with articles I have had a major hand in.

NOTE I haven't worked out where I reply. Sometimes I reply here, sometimes I reply at your talk page. Life is full of surprises I guess.

Guideline and policy news

Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.

Technical news

Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.

Arbitration

The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.

Mangling the list structure on talk pages

Please do not ever do this. It is against Help:Talk pages#Indentation, and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Good practices for talk pages, and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Vertical lists. If someone post was a **** line, then your reply is *****, or ****: if you don't want it to have a bullet. If the post before your reply had *::*:*:, then your reply starts with *::*:*:: or *::*:*:* if you want it to have a bullet. This is very simple: you just copy the format of what you are replying to, and add either one : or one *. We avoid bullets when there isn't a conventionalized expectation for them (e.g. in an RfC's polling section). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:35, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
