Update about running for EFH/about your oppose in my failed nomination[edit]
- This is a continuation from this section in your March 2024 talk page archive.
Hi, Uhai. I plan to run for EFH around mid-to-late November intending to create private vandal filters via email or the mailing list, and while you might or might not doubt of my account age as of my next planned request (which will by nine months after my second failed request, and I admit that your oppose had led me to start creating filters or regex strings via requests on email), as of now I have authored and requested updates for some specific vandal filters (1292 and 1308 [the former filter's target has a global filter to track them on Meta, which is global filter 344] are maintained by Ingenuity, and 1313 was made by EggRoll97 via the mailing list [I sent the new filter's code via email] because of this EF/R request, but was later taken down after creation and replies to not give any vandals ideas), and I think I can be deemed trustworthy to get the EFH role before the end of this year and step up to modify filters in a few years. Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 00:54, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Codename Noreste: Yes, you've been doing good work, thanks! I don't think I'd have any reason not to support by November. Uhai (talk) 13:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- On the other hand, I have another plan: I might run for EFH between the middle-to-late August of this year (six months after February's failed nomination) mostly after taking your advice and Ingenuity's too (mostly about denying recognition) as well, but I'm not sure if on my August nomination you might still [regularly or weakly] oppose previously citing
I don't see the nominee's need for the role, especially since they don't intend to step up to EFM… It's also only been two months since the last request—
. My main is secured with a strong password with 2FA enabled, and after receiving EFH, I'll request to be subscribed to the edit filter mailing list. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 05:46, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Problems
Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [5]- Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [6]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [7][8]- Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [9]
- Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [10]
