Interwiki map update[edit]
Could an admin please handle the requests at Talk:Interwiki map? I've done most of them but the rest are things proposed by me which means I shouldn't implement them per my reading of Meta:Administrators#Involved administrators. Thanks. Note the process for handling these has recently changed - edits are now made to a JSON page at interwiki map/list. * Pppery * it has begun 18:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think I've done most of it. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 21:33, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Remaining open requests
- Talk:Interwiki map#Fandom - lots of discussion, needs an admin to assess consensus.
- Talk:Interwiki map#Several frequently used sites on Wikimedia Commons - nothing technically blocking it but the relevant agreement to do it was reached very recently so I think it's best to wait longer before editing the map itself.
- Talk:Interwiki map#Miraheze - on hold pending upstream stuff I think, but I haven't been following this closely.
- Talk:Interwiki map#Wikimedia API Portal - on hold pending upstream stuff.
- Talk:Interwiki map#shoutwiki - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action
- Talk:Interwiki map#wmve - on hold pending upstream stuff
- Talk:Interwiki map#aquariumwiki - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action
- Talk:Interwiki map#git, Talk:Interwiki map#zum - largely theoretical and don't need to be handled now
- Talk:Interwiki map#aew - will eventually need an admin but not ready for action yet
- Talk:Interwiki map#Wikimedia Quality - ready for admin action IMO
- Talk:Interwiki map#dict, dictionary - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action

Requested change to filter 110[edit]
I would suggest a change to global filter 110 that can exclude a specific sentence from eswiki when users are creating new pages with a new page wizard, some cleanup and optimization, and excluded MediaWiki since it has its own emoji filter; here's the new code:
!"autoconfirmed" in user_rights & page_namespace == 0 & ( emoji := "[🌀-🙏🚀-🛼🤌-🧿🩰-🫶☀-☄☇-♬♰-✒✙-➿۩]"; rcount(emoji, added_lines) > 0 & ( rcount(emoji, added_lines) > rcount(emoji, removed_lines) ) & ( page_title != "Emoji" & !added_lines irlike "{{unicode\|" & !added_lines irlike "{{nihongo\|" & !new_wikitext irlike "\[\[Category:Unicode blocks\]\]" & !new_wikitext irlike "Esta nota contiene algunas 📆instrucciones" & !contains_any(wiki_name, "frwiki", "mediawikiwiki") ) )
Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 08:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Remove account creator rights from User:EYahia-WMF[edit]
Could a bureaucrat remove the account creator rights from the above mentioned account? Account is locked, user no longer works for WMF. EPIC (talk) 18:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Done — xaosflux Talk 18:11, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

I am 'sysop' and 'translationadmin' MediaWiki.org, and can write mass messages to talk pages of anothers translators. But not every translator has account on MediaWiki.org as main. Sometime I want send info about waiting pages, but only Meta-Wiki user with a rights of 'massmessage sender' can write the global messages to another wiki of Wikimedia farm. It's all. Thanks, -- Want (talk) 12:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- This is actually a local right, so it should be requested at RFH. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 12:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC) - Please point to a properly formatted target list you have built. — xaosflux Talk 12:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- User:Want/Translators_to_czech It is a group of the most active translators of documentation on mediawiki.org into Czech -- Want (talk) 14:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Main info target for us is a page mw:Project:Translation/cs where is a table of translated pages and pages waiting to markup. This is what I do when I find time and want to be able to inform the translator after marking that pages are ready for translation. -- Want (talk) 14:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
