Administrators' newsletter – April 2026
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2026).

- The content of Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models has been updated following a request for comment. It now prohibits using LLMs to generate content, with exceptions for translation and copy-editing.
- Following a motion, the GSCASTE extended-confirmed restriction in the Indian military history case has been narrowed. It now applies to caste-related topics in South Asia, and the preemptive protection remedy has been amended accordingly.
- The arbitration case Pbsouthwood has been closed.
- The arbitration case Maghreb has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 7 April.
Re:Amaptocare
Hello! Ive been trying to improve articles about Ballymun and it's regeneration on wikipedia, and I was wondering if it'd be fine with you if I nominated this for GA? The article is too good for me to be able to edit 10% of it lol, thanks for making such a good article! Finnfrog99 (talk) 13:51, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Finnfrog9! And welcome / good work - I noticed you improving things. I've been a bit quiet myself since 2024, illness and work combined, but Wiki Ireland needs all the hands it can get. And on A Map to Care, sure, you'd be welcome. I remember putting a good deal of work into that one, some years ago - and I even reached the artist and he and his family kindly donated imagery, not such a common thing. Sad that the project seems half-forgotten, though many of the trees, and a few of the plaques, remain, and some day the map of the trees may be placed on the plaza, as promised so long ago. If I can help in dealing with any GA process suggestions, I'm out here... SeoR (talk) 11:03, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Scoil Chaitríona Article
Hello! Thank you for improving the Scoil Chaitríona article; I really appreciate it. I would like to ask one thing, though. What do you mean by "The fire?" I do not exactly know what you are trying to ask when you refer to the fire that happened. Could you kindly explain what you were asking? ReelCosmix (talk) 01:31, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hello again. If I'm right, you are asking if I'm using the fire as a reason the school is notable enough for an article? If so, then kind of, yes. But I am not using that section fully as the reason why I think it deserves an article. If you think I should make that section more clear or it needs more backup/sources, then let me know! ReelCosmix (talk) 01:59, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome! I was too telegraphic the first time (as Article for Creation comments head the page, we try to keep them brief). You will need more sources, yes, but the main hurdle you have to pass is simply showing why the paired schools are notable enough to have a separate article (as opposed to a few lines in the Artane article, say). There was a time when every secondary school in the world could be added, but the community concluded that this was not appropriate, and it was never so for primaries - there must be evidence from independent sources to prove the point. This is not a negative, and every school can have its own site, but simply that Wikipedia presence is for topics which are recognised externally as of broader interest - and even some topics seen as obvious may not qualify. Keep up the good work, SeoR (talk) 10:20, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – May 2026
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2026).

Interface administrator changes
- Changes to user permissions made from Meta are now included in the local user permissions log (T6055).
- The autoconfirmed user group will soon be modified such that the four-day account age requirement begins when an account makes its first edit (T418484).
- The arbitration case SchroCat has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 15 April.
- 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.
- The May 2026 administrator elections are scheduled to run from April 29 to May 19. The call for candidates ends May 5.
- The 2026 Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is scheduled to run from April 25 to June 1. Candidacy submissions close on May 10.
- A new noticeboard for non-urgent, batch page protection requests has been created, primarily for the enforcement of contentious topic restrictions.
