This noticeboard's primary purpose is to to attract the attention of the clerks to a particular matter by non-clerks. Non-clerks are welcome to comment on this page in the event that the clerks appear to have missed something.

Private matters

The clerks may be contacted privately, in the event a matter could not be prudently addressed publicly (i.e., on this page), by composing an email to clerks-llists.wikimedia.org; only the clerk team and individual arbitrators have access to emails sent to that list.

Procedures

A procedural reference for clerks (and arbitrators) is available at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Clerks/Procedures.

Typo on Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SmallCat dispute

In the section Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SmallCat dispute#BrownHairedGirl Portals history, last line, "deysopped" should be changed to "desysopped". Thank you. Ascchrvalstr (talk) 21:50, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 00:49, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Shortcut for CTOP appeals?

I find myself fairly regularly navigating to Wikipedia:Contentious topics § Appeals and amendments, either to double-check a rule or to link a user to it in the course of sanctioning them. Would it be possible to add a shortcut to that section, maybe WP:CTOPAPPEALS? (I could create the shortcut myself, but there's not much point if there isn't a {{shortcut}} box at the target.) -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 18:54, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll note that non-arbs/clerks have made those kinds of changes in the past to the page without consultation. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:50, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Even more so at WP:AC/P with adding shortcuts. I haven't thought of anything better than WP:CTOPAPPEALS, though I also like using anchors like WP:CTOP#Appeals. JensonSL (SilverLocust) 07:58, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. JensonSL (SilverLocust) 04:13, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contentious topic talk page

Am I allowed to add a potentially relavent source to a talk page for a contentious topic? AFanOfTheWanderingInnNumber25 (talk) 16:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AFanOfTheWanderingInnNumber25 speaking for myself here: in general, you can edit about contentious topics. For the Arab–Israeli conflict, you can make edit requests but may not otherwise participate in talkpage discussions. If you're referring to this edit, that is indeed not allowed under the restriction. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:56, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I understand. AFanOfTheWanderingInnNumber25 (talk) 18:02, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
