News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2020).

Guideline and policy news
- Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Misplaced Pages. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Misplaced Pages:Partial blocks.
- The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with
wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input
. No proposed process received consensus.
Technical news
- Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
- When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title.
Arbitration
- Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators
that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.
- Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators
Miscellaneous
- Voting in the 2020 Steward elections will begin on 08 February 2020, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2020, 13:59 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
- The English Misplaced Pages has reached six million articles. Thank you everyone for your contributions!

Me being accused of trying to vandalize pages, when that's not my aim at all.
What have I done that you consider vandalism? I am adding only true things. All of these things I add are based on what other Misplaced Pages pages say. I added countries to shows and films based on the countries their production companies are from, pages that had the same categories added to them and what nationalities the voice actors are. I add "independent films" based on if films from said companies are in the independent category or if they are animated by studios on the See Also section of Independent Animation, so why don't you let me add said information, restore all information I added that you deleted and not get mad? Pretty much everything I added was true, and I am not trying to mess pages up. Plus, I never added anything inappropriate. Iamcool34234 (talk) 10:54, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Technical news
- Following a discussion, Twinkle's default CSD behavior will soon change, most likely this week. After the change, Twinkle will default to "tagging mode" if there is no CSD tag present, and default to "deletion mode" if there is a CSD tag present. You will be able to always default to "deletion mode" (the current behavior) using your Twinkle preferences.
Miscellaneous
