Technical news
- The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338)
- Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431)
Arbitration
- The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
- The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.

Hello
Good afternoon. I have observed your history keeping the 2022 World Cup article in excellent shape, and I just wanted to thank you for your excellent work and say that I'm a big fan of your contributions. I look forward to collaborating with you next year for the Euro 2024/copa America 2024 article, and eventually for the 2026 Fifa World Cup article. Becausewhynothuh?

WWE PPVs attendance
Hello Mr Lee Vilenski
can you please take a look at the edits from the user Czello to all the WWE attendance figures that have many sources and different numbers everywhere like Wrestlemania 3 pages without getting a permission to do this,all i’m asking from him to put a note that those figures are disputed not to remove them completely
putting a dave meltzer number like 78K for wrestlemania 3 as a fact and not even disputed doesn’t make sense By the way it was well known around 2007, users started to go back and forth editing the WM 3 article to reflect the two conflicting figures. It got bad enough that the event’s entry is listed as one of the site’s “lamest edit wars,” and it has been reverted back like it was for years and a disputed note was put for the page https://www.newspapers.com/article/18111087/90000_to_attend_wrestlemania_gannett/
https://www.newspapers.com/article/18110973/pro_wrestling_cashing_in_with/
https://www.newspapers.com/article/18110397/column_mentions_88000/
from 85K to 88K to 93K
Wrestlemania 32,dave meltzer himself changed his ’source’ many times about this he once repored it was 94K and 97K https://twitter.com/bryanalvarez/status/716892368188780548?
https://twitter.com/bryanalvarez/status/717104250149425154
All those numbers are disputed,no number is exactly real
i think we should put the common attendance figure which is on 99,99% in websites and put a note that it is disputed not the other way around
he said there was no opposition to what he is doing when it clearly is
please follow this issue and i’m a big fan of that user but his timing of doing all of this before AEW ALL in wembley is so suspicious Bigboss9893 (talk) 17:44, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Please reply on the WT:PW thread. My thoughts are that we probably shouldn't be highlighting attendances at all, outside of the list that talks about attendances. Anywhere where the attendance is important, or disputed should be discussed in prose. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:06, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
