Template:Admin dashboard/light

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  1. Frequently, some pages transcluding {{Admin dashboard}} are going on overflow and appear at Category:Pages_where_post-expand_include_size_is_exceeded.
    This Template:Admin dashboard/light has been rewritten by including directly all the parts that were dispersed in so many sub-templates.
  2. The "leaks out boxes" error has been fixed.
  3. Pages RFPP and UNFAA are simply linked (i.e. not transcluded) when too busy

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP repeatedly vandalising the article by moving it (name change) mutiple times, even after "under construction " template was placed. The article is of a club whose name is changed due to rebranding. Kindly put a page protection immediately. It is causing too much disruption. Drat8sub (talk) 07:11, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

It is currently at S.C. Delhi Is that where it's supposed to be? Daniel Case (talk) 23:12, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: 2x copyvio in the past two weeks, first by an IP and second by a new user. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 19:56, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Specifically I think temporary pending changes or semiprotection would work. It's not a very frequently edited article. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 19:57, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
I have initiated some non-templated discussion with the editor about what issues there are. Daniel Case (talk) 00:30, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated edit warring from IP, which was previously blocked for one week and returned to their disruption, only to be presently blocked for 31 hours. While protection is not really preemptive, I am requesting temporary protection to prevent further abuse and disruption from occurring.

Reason: An anonymous user (IP 51.223.134.141) has been repeatedly changing the page since 17 October 2025 without providing any explanation or engaging on the talk page despite requests to do so. Agmonsnir (talk) 06:45, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

DeclinedWarn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Nobody's attempted to contact the IP user on their talk page. Edit summaries are not a substitute for discussion.

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level

Before posting a request to this page, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

  • ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
    • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
    • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
  • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
  • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
  • ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.

You may request a protection reduction below if...

  • ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
  • ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
  • ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
  • ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here

Edit requests should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.

Autopatrolled

[edit]

Permission was revoked at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=169754554 . The permission was revoked four months ago before I recently returned after 14 years of absence from the project, please reinstate. Sswonk (talk) 15:03, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([2]). MusikBot talk 15:10, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
This RfC recently established that autopatrolled can be procedurally revoked from inactive contributors, but I don't think there was consensus that it could be procedurally reinstated upon request, so I would encourage the reviewing administrator (I'm not one) to consider this like any other request. @Sswonk: I had a couple of questions about the articles you recently created: what makes this website (on Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter) and this website (on Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics) reliable sources? Also, since IMDb is an unreliable source, is there another citation that could be used for the award on that first article? TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:10, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Also, I forgot to say: welcome back to the project! I realized my comments above could come across as trying to shoot you down after your wikibreak, but I did mean it as genuine questions/feedback. :) TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:20, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Thanks TS69, I did not realize that you had posted here before I went to your talk, I am copy-pasting that here so we can continue the conversation in one place. Below is re: Jeff Burger, will respond on other questions momentarily.
I added a second citation to the first paragraph of Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter. I think the first citation is fine, yes it is a self-published source by Jeff Burger however Burger is well-known (https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/burger--jeff-contributor-301827.php) and the site serves as an archive of his previously published reviews. The page I cite is a reprint of a review first published in 1976, the publication is not specified, however the information about Burger suggests it satisfies "Self-published sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." See also https://search.worldcat.org/search?q=au=%22Burger%2C%20Jeff%22 -- Burger should be considered reliable. Sswonk (talk) 16:34, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Regarding the second question about Chapter 16, please see https://chapter16.org/about-us/ and https://www.humanitiestennessee.org/about/our-story/?cn-reloaded=1 publisher of the cited, archived website. I would also consider that as satisfying WP:V.
I did not realize IMDb was unreliable, I used that because it is the single source of the page 38th Golden Globe Awards. I added the actual Golden Globes as a source. Sswonk (talk) 17:01, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for making those changes — your point about Burger makes sense to me, so I'll remove the {{sps?}} tag, and citing the Golden Globes' website for that award looks appropriate. I'm less sure about the reliability of Chapter 16, but I think I'll leave this for an administrator to weigh whether or not that would be a significant blocker to granting the permission. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:24, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
I appreciate that, thank you. Sswonk (talk) 18:20, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
The question remaining from TechnoSquirrel69 asks for administrator input on the reliability of the Chapter 16 web outlet of the Tennessee Humanities organization. Links are provided a couple of paragraphs above. I am noting here that this morning I changed the previously existing citation link on the Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics page to a direct link rather than to the archived page, as I was able to find the current url for the review. The link TechnoSquirrel69 includes above in his initial post has been updated to a current page. So we are dealing with the WP:RS status of a current page on a site that supports a 51-year old Tennessee institution funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. I think Chapter 16 is entirely reliable and should be used on Wikipedia articles related to Tennessee culture and history as needed. However, I want to thank TechnoSquirrel69 for diligence in finding areas for improvement in these stubs. Like him, I strive for the best references available and had determined the Chapter 16 and Jeff Burger sites were satisfactory prior to opening this request for permission; however I have been away for over a decade and am prepared to face challenges with humility. Fifteen years ago I worked on Led Zeppelin which was at the time poorly organized but since I left has been promoted to GA status. My opinion is that Loretta Lynn is on a similar level as a significant performer and figure in popular music history, and naturally I want articles about her and her work to have

top-shelf reviews; even stubs should strive for high quality, especially references within them, to help other editors find further material, to set a tone of sincerity and professionalism. Thank you again TechnoSquirrel69. Sswonk (talk) 14:17, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

What makes the Treaty of Southampton notable? voorts (talk/contributions) 21:56, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
@Sswonk voorts (talk/contributions) 22:19, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts -- The notability rises from its mention in reliable sources as the first alliance between England and the Dutch Republic and as an initial policy forming act of Charles I. There was an existing maritime agreement, but the treaty went further and allied the two nations against Spain during a volatile period. To quote Anton Poot whose PhD thesis is one of the sources, "the maritime agreement had not mentioned Spain by name as the common enemy; the Treaty of Southampton left no doubt. It created an Anglo-Dutch partnership for a joint war against Spain, effectively meaning that England joined the Dutch in a war they had been waging already for decades." Charles was asserting England against Spain formally. The sources find it significant in the history of the Eighty Years War and of pre-civil war England. Sswonk (talk) 13:34, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
It seems like your ping didn't go through @Sswonk. Are there any sources other than the PhD dissertation that discuss the treaty in depth? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:11, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts yes, odd about the ping. Well, as you can see in the article I posted about a month ago, I was able to identify the three sources plus the "further reading" thesis as verification for the information in the article at the time I posted it. I did not find much more, at least not that well sourced. The timing, the fact that the king did not stick by the Dutch, may make Southampton more obscure, and conceivably it might be well-challenged as not WP:RSed enough, but why? What I posted might be merged with an article that treated (pun?) the entirety of pre-civil war relations, something like that "further reading", don't know. I mean, I simply decided to write that stub article because it (the subject) is an entity that exists in history, that was mentioned in timelines, had a "redlink" where I first saw the treaty mentioned in Wikipedia, and that has sourced material about it. The entire treaty, albeit in French, is available to follow leads from. So I think it is worth posting a brief article about. This project is really a good jumping off point for people to explore and edit articles about obscure history topics. What is your opinion, Voorts, isn't what is sourced and the quality of those sources sufficient? And, shouldn't the topic be part of the encyclopedia? I have less than 8K edits in over four years of active editing, maybe I am missing something; I fell as though Treaty of Southampton fills a gap in coverage, without relying on original research. I understand WP:OWN and basically, whether obvious or not, I stepped away from editing the article the day I started it, hoping others might follow up, it isn't anything I claim to know a lot about other than those sources. But someone, or a few someones, might be able to expand the article to have more sources in a way I can't grasp this morning, and I hope that they do. Sswonk (talk) 13:52, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting Autopatrolled rights in order to reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. I primarily create new articles on politics and law with a focus on biographies of notable individuals. I ensure that the content I add are verifiable and the articles comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. My previous request was declined in March 2025. Since then, I have strived to improve the quality of my contributions and have made substantial improvements to several existing ones, upgrading them to B-grade, e.g., [3], [4] and [5]. Regards. QEnigma  03:46, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I formally request the autopatrolled user right. I'm a regular user of Wikipedia, both in English and Spanish, and I consider that, after so many years and hundreds of articles created on both wikis, i am in the position to say that I know the rules and styles. I've never cared much about user rights, but now that I've started a personal project (ambassadors of Spain and all its lists) to expand diplomatic information about my country, Spain, I'd like to avoid the workload that comes with reviewing articles that comply with our rules. Thank you. TheRichic (Messages here) 11:12, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

I meet all of the Wikipedia:PMCRITERIA. I have never been blocked and I have never violated the 3RR. Otherwise, my history of contribution] has been fairly good, I have reviewed GAN, FLCS, and FACS, and currently have to FLCs running right now. I have 3,000 edits and my account hit the 6 month mark last month. As you can see, I have a history of moving things unopposed and contributing to Requested Moves, even in contentious topics where there are more things to take into consideration (I don't know how to link it, just go through my user contributions). I am also good at moving-adjacent things, like discussing changes on the talk page and I am familiar with redirects. In addition to moving things often, I am also a reviewer at AFC. Giving me this right will create less burden at WP:RMTR and will prevented other unopposed moves which I create discussions for. I will not use this right to bypass discussion, and have never used moving to bypass RM for topics which could be controversial. Thanks, 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 Easternsahara 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 02:19, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

@Easternsahara "will prevented other unopposed moves which I create discussions for" – what would you check for before deciding that a move is sufficiently uncontroversial to be performed without discussion? Toadspike [Talk] 15:05, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
@Toadspike:, hey thanks for the quick response. Sorry for the bad grammar, I had created this when I was sleepy. By uncontroversial, I mean in violation of policies like disambiguation. Some examples that I have moved Talk:Israeli attack on Doha#Requested move 1 October 2025 (although this was in contentious topic, so maybe I'd put it in RM just in case), both Shah Abdul Wahhab which had unnesscary disambiguation of scholar (they were both scholars and the only Shah Abdul Wahhab's on wikipedia, John Quested (RAF officer) (RAF unneeded), Side A, Side B, Side X, Side Y (theological views), Route of the Franciscan Evangelisation in Guatemala, Akbar Aghayev (lieutenant), Jason "Human Kebab" Parsons, Smoke-free bathhouse (Vysotsky's song) etc. If it is not obviously the common name, or if the current article name does not directly fail any article-naming criteria, then it could be controversial (or if it does but is in a contentious topic). Thanks, 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 Easternsahara 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 21:41, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
@Easternsahara How would you factor in previous moves or RMs when deciding whether a move could be controversial? Toadspike [Talk] 07:08, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
Previous RMs go towards building consensus and I can not go against consensus even if I think my idea is good. Consensus if how Wikipedia works, and if I think my argument is good enough, I can create a new RM with my arguments. I should not use my Page mover powers to move it instead because that would be disrupting consensus. Thanks, 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 Easternsahara 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 07:52, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
Thanks. I will do some more looking around. In the meantime, please remember to do post-move cleanup. It looks like you forgot to de-bold "in Guatemala" after moving Route of the Franciscan Evangelisation. If you don't already, you should also try using User:Nardog/MoveHistory.js to check for past moves, which can sometimes indicate whether a move is controversial. Toadspike [Talk] 22:25, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
The candidate's two most recent RM/TR requests were contested. They have made six RM/TR requests total, which is not much of a burden. I don't feel ready to grant at this time. However, I will leave the final decision to another admin. Toadspike [Talk] 22:39, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
To the other admin(s), the first one was contested and then it got almost unanimously passed at RM and the latest one should just be Long Island, Madang Province per WP:NCDAB: "Comma-separated disambiguation. Ambiguous geographic names are often disambiguated by adding the name of a higher-level administrative division, separated by a comma, as in Windsor, Berkshire. See Naming conventions (geographic names)." Thanks, 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 Easternsahara 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 16:07, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
The RMTR was contested by a different editor to the RM with very good rationale.[6] Moves which override RM consensus are controversial by default and this remains an convincing interpretation overall. CNC (talk) 18:01, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
I agree with you in that moves which override RMs are controversial, but note that people in the RM itself were proposing that 2025 be removed from the title as it is unnecessary (one could also argue that it is not neutral as it implies that bahrain let itself get attacked twice or that israel attacked bahrain twice). the only reason the moving admin didnt move it to not have the 2025 is because the people who voted at the beginning (and didn't change their vote after that) didn't notice that 2025 was not needed. The TR that i created also was not overriding the RM, the title was the same save for 2025. Thanks, 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 Easternsahara 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩 23:37, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi! I have been recent change patrolling for quite awhile now, mostly reverting and warning users with Twinkle. The process of counter-vandal, though, does involve reviewing constructive or unconstructive edits on PC protected pages. I've created some articles, learned JavaScript (not the most important thing to say here, huh?), and have had good experience with countering vandalism and identifying edits.

As of the time I post this edit (including this edit), I will have 1,215 edits, 543 mainspace edits, and significantly expanded and created 3 articles. Any advice will be appreciated. HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 03:50, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
