es-3Este usuario puede contribuir con un nivel avanzado de español.

This user thinks you can learn a lot by editing an Encyclopedia.

Interesting edits I've come across:

• In reference to the Georgia Guidestones bombing of 2022: "It was a cat." One of several edits linked to the U.S. Congress.

Some recent interests:

• improving management of content timeliness
• locating WP:EASTEREGG links with a user script
• toying around with a new FAQ system for capturing local consensus on talk pages.
• some kind of hacky diff template

I wrote:

• Article Quality (AQ) Fetcher - a user script to stylize article links according to the quality of the target article.
• Template:AnnotatedListOfLinks - a template to tidy up "See also" sections by rapidly applying the {{Annotated link}} template where appropriate.

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.
