FYI... more changes were just made to the "Edit watchlist" page, breaking the subject script. Thank you for your previous work on it! Stefen 𝕋ower Huddle • Handiwerk 02:32, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up StefenTower, they really do like to keep breaking things. I'll have a look over the weekend. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:20, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi KylieTastic (a belated Happy New Year) I was wondering if you'd want me to do https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation&diff=next&oldid=1264370417#question_2 like last year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DreamRimmer_bot_II/Reports/Top_AfC_reviewers with this years(same barnstar/virtual award), thanks, Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:29, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Ozzie10aaaa, sounds like a good idea to me, not that I've been very active in AfC since becoming an admin. Your never going to please everyone, but some positive feedback to people aligns with what NPP do so why not. If you do, I guess it makes sense to use the report version from 00:30, 01 January 2026. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:16, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
...sounds good, will use '01 January 2026' and do first thing tomorrow morning, and thanks Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:23, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

EditWatchlistByExpiry.js, again

Latest comment: 4 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Hi there, EditWatchlistByExpiry.js appears to have been thwarted again by some change. No idea if it's connected but, on viewing my list, I'm getting a pop-up message about "Create and assign labels", followed by another "Filter by labels". Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi Mutt Lunker, yes the surprise roll out of watchlist labels broke it again. It was scheduled for 08:00-09:00 UTC today, mentioned just a few hours before on that project task T413967. I will try to find some time soon to fix it. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 16:29, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
@Mutt Lunker, turned out not to be a major change so I have fixed again, so hopefully all good. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:10, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

WP:REFUND

Latest comment: 4 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Hey, KylieTastic,

I just wanted to thank you for helping out so much at REFUND. Now that we are deleting a lot of CSD U6s, I noticed that there are more people coming to the noticeboard and requesting page restorations and a few of the admins who used to help out there are either no longer admins or have found other parts of the project to devote their time, too. I use to regularly pitch in at REFUND a few years ago and will try to drop by more often. But your efforts are appreciated! Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:47, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks Liz, luckily we also have another new admin MPGuy2824 also helping a lot to fill the void. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:54, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
I came across Draft:Lobotomy Conlang and just wanted to remind you to do a minor edit to the draft or sandbox after they are restored or they appear to be eligible for speedy deletion again. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 00:56, 5 February 2026 (UTC)
Opps, I got distracted by it being made up and thinking it would best be deleted as just made up, then remembered we don't have a CSD for that, and wondering why... and then forgot to do the G13 cock reset edit. :/ KylieTastic (talk) 09:59, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2026).

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.

Question on handling an AfC accept with a COI editor

Latest comment: 4 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Kylie, I recently started helping out at AfC and I accepted Fino al mare a few days ago. I was a little bit unsure at the time (and am feeling less confident in it now), and the creator has made some edits to the page (with a declared COI). What should I be doing in this situation? (If you think I made the wrong call on the AfC accept and it should be draftified/AfD'd, feel free.) Thanks, ScalarFactor (talk) 20:34, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi ScalarFactor, if someone declares a COI after acceptance I would just re-read and check there is nothing that stands out with that new info taken into consideration. However a quick scan shows it's not the normal COI puff. You could add a {{Connected contributor}} tag on the talk page to note that its a COI. I haven't had the time to look at the sources to see if I agree with notability, but it still has to go through NPP for a second set of eyes. If you were auto-patrolled I would just say un-patrol to make sure it gets the second opinion, but that's not an issue for this. There is a lot of grey zone stuff when doing AfC and you will find those willing to criticise for accepting or declining any in that area. Sometimes it's good to just go with the flow, do your best and just watch things to see what happens. Unless you see something that now makes you want to revert the accept I would just leave to NPP and not worry. There is a ton of crap that needs to be declined and good stuff needed to be saved, and for the rest just do your best at guessing if it has a good chance of surviving an AfD and that all anyone can ask for. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:00, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. They did declare the COI ahead of time, but they've edited the page after the accept when (afaik) they're supposed to be using {{edit coi}} requests on the talk page. The changes are admittedly pretty minor but I think I'll just put the CC template on the talk page and leave it for whoever's on NPP, yeah. (There really is just so much crap... I'm always so happy to see something that isn't the worlds most promotional (auto)biography or company profile...) ScalarFactor (talk) 21:10, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Would you be so kind to take a look here? Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 01:25, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) If you're just looking for an opinion from an WP:UNINVOLVED editor, WP:3O might be a better place to ask, given the time zone indicator on this talk page. ScalarFactor (talk) 02:41, 13 February 2026 (UTC)
True, but I've already been waiting a while so one extra day doesn't matter. And KylieTastic is probably familiar with how things like this should work, after half a million (what?) edits. Polygnotus (talk) 03:51, 13 February 2026 (UTC)
Hi Polygnotus, siorry I did see your ping yesterday but I'm tied up in a complex project at work, so I did not have time to look. I did flag to some fellow admins on discord, but I guess no one saw or had the time to look. I'm probably going to be busy all day again today but I will try to look properly at the weekend. Although Longhornsg has not responded I see the original poster said the original post was hasty and they are fine for it to be changed for neutrality, so if I was you I would have just asked them if they were happy with your adjustment? Regards KylieTastic (talk) 09:50, 13 February 2026 (UTC)
I have answered on the article talk page and updated the content. KylieTastic (talk) 15:29, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

File:The Secrets of Hotel 88 title card.jpg

Latest comment: 4 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi KykieTastic. Could you check the older versions of File:The Secrets of Hotel 88 title card.jpg that you deleted per F5? The most recent version of this title screen is too simple to be PD under US copyright law. It was uploaded as non-free content, but I subsequently converted its licensing to PD. If the older now deleted versions are the same, they could probably be restored. I thought I did all the cleanup associated with this, but I must've forgotten to remove the "orfurrev" template. My apologies if that was the case and for creating some extra work for you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:43, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi Marchjuly, the first image was a photo of a coastal area with the title in pink, so presumably not PD. The second and third are versions of the current so I have restored the revisions. The 4th is a version of this so also not PD. If the plan was to move to commons I could have considered fully deleting the other two versions or splitting, but as it is marked do not copy to commons due to Philippines law I guess this is the best fro now. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:55, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
Thank you so much for checking on this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:57, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Actioned histmerge request

Latest comment: 3 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Many thanks for actioning that histmerge request so quickly; very much appreciated. With thanks, Craig(talk) 23:03, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Cs-wolves no worries, I noticed you have also tagged {{Cycling data RRS}} but {{Cycling data WIB}} is still active/not redirected. Merging only makes sense if WIB is to be redirected. If both are used the history cannot be in both. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:27, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
@KylieTastic: That might have been my fault on the original request, apologies. What I meant was that {{Cycling data WIB}} was the original creation back in 2016, with the team name at the time reflecting that team code as per this link. Ordinarily, if a team changes their team code, the page would be moved and the previous team code would be left as a redirect. However, it appears that {{Cycling data RRS}} has been created as a copy-and-paste yesterday, with all transclusions having been updated from WIB to RRS, so WIB is now unused (but not redirected). I hope that makes sense! Craig(talk) 20:20, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Recent IP range block

Latest comment: 3 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Unfortunately, these seems like WAY too big of a range block, I see too many good faith editors in the range for a full week long block. Is it possible to either reduce the range or the duration, things are heated and I could see this passing over by tomorrow. – LuniZunie(talk) 17:13, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @LuniZunie, that was a temporary overreach to just shut things down while I worked out a how to block the smaller range between the default options of /32 and /48. I have removed the 2A04:4A43:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 and added the 2A04:4A43:5000:0:0:0:0:0/40 which has only had a small number of non reverted edits in the last week.

Message from Kat Lee Carter | Scomophobia | On-View

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Dear, Kylie.

I saw you deleted the page of Scomophobia as it being a Hoax. However it actually isn't. There has been extensive research by me and my team to discover more about scomophobia. I want to ask if you are Australian but its clear you aren't so. Please do not imprint yourself into it. Here in Australia I have done a lot of research and come to the conclusion that it is actually a thing and a lot of Australians feel it. I have studied it for years. If you have any questions please ask them but don't delete pages unless you have research to back them up. Thanks.

Deleted User:SietsL/klimaat

Hello,
You have cleared my sandbox, User:SietsL/klimaat correctly.
In the meantime I have created two new sandboxes, User:SietsL/klimaat.plus and User:SietsL/klimaat.min
But unfortunately I once typed in the old sandbox address, User:SietsL/klimaat
This results in hearing an irritating sound through my PC.
So I kindly ask you to made this annoying sound stop. SietsL (talk) 11:32, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @SietsL, there is nothing specific on Wikipedia that I can think of that can cause that. Do you get the sound if you go to other pages that do not exist such as User:SietsL/klimaat2? KylieTastic (talk) 12:01, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Could you please recover/ undelete the draft that i had created on the orchestra... the text seemed to be promotional but you need not delete the page itself. This orchestra IS REAL. They are representing their country in real time as I type this message to you. Please consider this request. I will work on getting better sources to back the information on that page.

Source Clarification

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

On my page, you said that any sources used should:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles;

are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;

are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

I have an issue with my sources. I do have sources that meet all three criteria, but there aren't a lot of them, and don't get into much of the details that I need. A lot of the finer details are contained within the website of the school, and without them, it is pretty difficult to get much information. Is there a way that I can get around this? Brrrrrrayden (talk) 21:34, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi Brrrrrrayden, unfortunately there is no "way that I can get around this". Most schools just don't have the independent sources to show notability so it is a hard topic. Also it should be written like an encyclopedic article not like what you would find on the schools own website. Your first two sources are just basic listings that show the school exists not that it is notable. There are two concerns you need to consider: first is are there 3+ independent reliable sources with significant coverage to show notability, and if so the second is that the content should only come from your sources which does not appear to be true at the moment.

  • Per a recent motion, appeals of blocks from the conflict-of-interest VRT queue are, by default, appealed on-wiki through the normal unblock process. However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.
  • Per a recent motion, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.
  • The arbitration case Maghreb has been closed.

After being told not to forum shop you continue at the helpdesk with an edit reverting to your old version from 23 April 2026 removing all the current requests. You are not helping your case by making more mistakes. You have posted at ANI and submitted a unblock request so just stop and wait for others to reply. KylieTastic (talk) 15:29, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
I don't know how that happened. I was merely asking a question. Vincelord (talk) 17:23, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Vincelord, look at your edit here you did not merely add a new question you edited a version of the page from 23 April 2026 and so reverted to that version plus your question. As it was several hundred edits back I don't know how you did that by mistake unless you had a link to that edit you made and started from that, but even then if you start editing an old page it has a banner that states "You are editing an old revision of this page. If you publish it, any changes made since then will be removed. You may wish to edit the current revision instead". KylieTastic (talk) 17:48, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
I added my question to the bottom of the page I don't know how that could have happened. I was only trying to get help to appeal the block. but it seems all I've done is make things worse for myself. Vincelord (talk) 17:51, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
I understand that being blocked is stressful, I would recommend taking a break and coming back calm to stop any more inadvertent errors. It's much easier to make mistakes when stressed/upset etc and being able to step away and come back when ready is a good skill for all editors to learn. You have an unblocked request and multiple other posts give others time to respond (looking at Star Mississippi's activity they are likely not to be about for several more hours). KylieTastic (talk) 18:14, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
You are right. When I was blocked I got very upset and stressed and the edits I made today are the result of that. After this edit I will step away from editing to calm a bit and give others the time to review my request. Vincelord (talk) 18:34, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Regarding Draft:Avril Herng, a user blanked the draft but I realise now that they were not the original creator, (does that matter?) there seems to be an organised group of connected editors trying to promote Herng.

Hi Theroadislong, the actual creator Avril Herng is blocked and also only edited that article about the subject and it was so clear promotional even I would have deleted it as a G11 anyway. As such I took as view that only the current majority editor counted. Either editor could ask for a REFUND so no big deal anyway. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:00, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

On this edit of yours: Until recently, I too would have taken the trouble to change pages=177-208 to pages=177–208 within a citation template. But then I realized that the former anyway ended up displayed (for the reader of the article) as the latter. (Unless my eyes were/are deceiving me.)

Incidentally, though I've made numerous minor improvements to that article, I'm very aware that major problems remain -- notably, that very little that's directly about its subject is cited from independent sources. -- Hoary (talk) 22:02, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

That was an error on my part, I try not to make changes like that which are purely technical and not visible (or minimally visible). I blame the 30+ degree heat that we are just not used to here in the UK. KylieTastic (talk) 22:59, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
So it's distinctly warmer where you are than here in the notorious hothouse of Tokyo! Yes, what would be acceptable for August is not acceptable in May. -- Hoary (talk) 11:22, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi, the reason for the speedy deletion request is that there is no such place. There was a wartime army camp there named after a nearby beach. The camp is now holiday camp. The local tourist steam railway has opened a request stop to serve the camp. That's all there is, no village, no settlement as such. It is one IP user's obsession that such a place should exist.

Hi Murgatroyd49, odd because on google maps I can see a place labelled Doniford, with a road "Doniford Rd", and street signs marking when entering the village boundaries such as this and this, and places like https://donifordfarmpark.com/ lists their address as in Doniford. Lastly Williton Parish lists "the coastal village of Doniford" on its website https://www.willitonparishcouncil.org/about-williton-parish/ Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:34, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
