Guideline and policy news

• All general sanctions imposed by the community may now be enforced at the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard (WP:AE) as a result of a recent RfC.
• Due to the result of a recent RFC, the administrator recall process is amended to extend the deadline for a re-request for adminship to 30 days or the next administrator election, whichever is later.
• Changes to the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy's disclosure rules include broadening the consecutive-blocks exception to cover all admin actions and removing the requirement to revision-delete permissible disclosures once they become unnecessary (instead requiring only their removal). See WP:TAIVDISCLOSE for more information.

Arbitration

• Following the 2025 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: Aoidh, Asilvering, Girth Summit, Guerillero, HJ Mitchell, HouseBlaster, Izno, Sdrqaz, SilverLocust.
• The arbitration case Pbsouthwood has been suspended.

The article Clearwater Water Park Development has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for 13 years. Tagged for notability concerns for almost 2 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Notability is not inherited from owning parks.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 09:18, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi David,

I saw your name on the list of people willing to be FA mentors, and I've been wanting to get Genshin Impact to FA sometime this year. I got it to GA earlier in January, and would need a mentor because I haven't gotten any articles to FA status yet. Let me know if you're interested! Gommeh ^{(talk! sign!)} 17:04, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Hey Gommeh, I'd be happy to take a look at the article and give some advice on its current state. Bug me if I haven't posted on the article talk page in about a week. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 13:58, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Arbitration

• Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Miscellaneous

• Voting in the 2026 Steward elections started on 06 February 2026 at 14:00 (UTC) and will end on 27 February 2026 at 14:00 (UTC). The confirmation process for current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.

Hey there, any interest on bringing Characters of Myst back to GA status? It would be a shame to see the entire topic delisted. Aza24 (talk) 04:56, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Missed that there was a GAR for it. Not really something I have time to work on at the moment. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 17:27, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Totally understood. If you should ever find time to take it back to GAN, it should be a relatively quick process to restore the GT. Best – Aza24 (talk) 16:48, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:52, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
