    • The 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest will run from 1 July to 30 September. Sign up now!
    • Administrator elections will take place this month. Administrator elections are an alternative to RFA that is a gentler process for candidates due to secret voting and multiple people running together. The call for candidates is July 9–15, the discussion phase is July 18–22, and the voting phase is July 23–29. Get ready to submit your candidacy, or (with their consent) to nominate a talented candidate!

    The Signpost: 18 July 2025

    [edit]
    Endowment tax form, Wikimania, elections, U4C, fundraising and a duck!
    And how do we know?
    Five-year journey comes to healthy fruition.
    Wikimedians from around the world will gather in person and online at the twentieth annual meeting of Wikimania.
    As well as "hermeneutic excursions" and other scientific research findings.
    The report covers the Foundation's operations from July 2023 - June 2024
    A step towards objective and comprehensive coverage of a project nearly too big to follow.
    Drawn this century!
    How data from the Wikipedia "necessary articles" lists can shed new light on the gender gap
    Annual plans, external trends, infrastructure, equity, safety, and effectiveness. What does it all mean?
    Rest in peace.
    Wouldn't it be nice without billionaires, scandals, deaths, and wars?
    If you are too blasé for Mr. Blasé and don't give a FAC.

    Administrators' newsletter – August 2025

    [edit]

    News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2025).

    Guideline and policy news

    • Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model (LLM) without human review.
    • Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.

    Technical news
