- Constructive edits are edits in good faith, with good intent, which actually make a valuable change to the encyclopedia. What you appeared to have done here, is vandalized the article. That is why your edit was reverted.

- You added false information to the article with no source to prove it, and it also seemed to be in a disruptive manner.

Hey Ingenuity, Loving AntiVandal 2.0! One question, could you read this question I asked on the talk page? This was quite a useful feature and it seems no one noticed it was removed.
- Thanks for the suggestion, will take a look at re-adding that once I have more time. —Ingenuity (talk) 19:59, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Candidates.
Here is the schedule:
- November 25 – December 1 – Call for candidates
- December 4–8 – Discussion phase
- December 9–15 – SecurePoll voting phase
Please note the following:
- The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
- Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community’s expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
- The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
- The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
- Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.
Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.
If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Hey Ingenuity, having some trouble regarding the bot code. Is User:IngenuityBot/backlogdrive.py and User:IngenuityBot/metadata.json the updated and working code? Runs fine with no errors, but does not populate the table or edit the participants page; it just says 0 reviews for all. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/December 2025 Backlog Drive/Leaderboard for context. Is there any change required other than the dates, which I have put as 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z, and just running using PAWS/toolforge pwb.py? Thanks in advance!
P.S. I am available for contact via discord (bunnypranav) or email, if you prefer that. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:29, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Bunnypranav: I have fixed the code. Please update your copy and try again, and make sure to reset the timestamp in metadata.json. – DreamRimmer ■ 12:44, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the quick fix! Working as intended. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:50, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fix, @DreamRimmer. Something I forgot to mention – @Bunnypranav: one thing you might have to worry about is renames – the script might crash if a user renames in the middle of the drive. It wasn’t a huge deal when I was running the script manually, I would just fix the problem and re-run, but it might be a problem now. —Ingenuity (talk) 20:18, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
- Okay, will try to keep an eye for it. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 02:14, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Draft:Werklig. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Esa Matinvesi (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2025 (UTC)
The discussion phase of the December 2025 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
- Dec 4–8 – Discussion phase (we are here)
- Dec 9–15 – SecurePoll voting phase
- Scrutineering phase
We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Discussion phase.
On December 9, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate’s totals during the election. You must be extended confirmed to vote.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which typically lasts between a couple days and a week. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate who has not been recalled must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes. A candidate that has been recalled must have at least 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions (“crat chats”).
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2025).
- Starting on November 4, the IP addresses of logged-out editors are no longer being publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account associated with their edits.
- Administrators will now find that Special:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start). T382958
The voting phase of the December 2025 administrator elections has started and will continue until Dec 15 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Voting phase.
As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
- Dec 9–15 – SecurePoll voting phase
- Scrutineering phase
In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate’s vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall candidates must achieve 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions (“crat chats”).
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Would you consider semi-protecting George Motz for persistent sockpuppetry? The TA sock accounts you blocked continue to create new TAs to restore the disputed dubious content.– Ponyobons mots 21:04, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
