Interface administrator changes
- 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.
- 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!
Regarding anime list AfD
[edit]Hi; thanks for your closure of the Lists of survival/music anime and manga AfD. I'd like to ask if you would be alright with refunding the music anime list to drafts? I'm hoping to continue the workshopping on it that I and Historyday01 were doing so we can see if there's a case to be made for salvaging its content or using its sources as a basis for a better article on the subject. Thanks very much for your time. silviaASH (inquire within) 14:54, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- That makes sense, I figured somebody might want a copy. I have restored the list to User:SilviaASH/List of music and performing arts anime. Good luck with the article. Malinaccier (talk) 15:20, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing that. I'd love to keep working on it. Historyday01 (talk) 18:02, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
