[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''

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 [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#RfC: Enacting T5 (unused template subpages)|request for comment]], a new speedy deletion criterion, [[WP:T5|T5]], has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
* Technical volunteers can now register for the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Hackathon 2025|2025 Wikimedia Hackathon]], which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. [https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/hackathon2025/ Application for travel and accommodation scholarships] is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
* The arbitration case ''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Yasuke|Yasuke]]'' (formerly titled ''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Backlash to diversity and inclusion|Backlash to diversity and inclusion]]'') has been closed.
* An arbitration case titled ''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5|Palestine-Israel articles 5]]'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.

* The Nuke feature also now [[phab:T364225#10371365|provides links]] to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Thanks for your contributions to [[Draft:Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State|Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State]]. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''it has no sources'''.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at [[Help:Unreviewed new page]].
