Administrators' newsletter – May 2025

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

Administrator changes

Rusalkii

NaomiAmethyst (overlooked last month)

Interface administrator changes

Galobtter

Guideline and policy news

Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

You are valuable

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I encountered you on the user talk page of an IP address I warned for vandalism, so is it okay if I nominate you for adminship? Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 02:25, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Faster than Thunder. I appreciate your kind words but I am not very active on enwiki right now and do not wish to be an admin at this time. Cheers. Ternera (talk) 02:31, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
