News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2019).

Guideline and policy news
- A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
- A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
- Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.
Arbitration
- The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being

Lotje,
Aangezien je mijn engels niet goed genoeg vindt kun je Karl E. Schedl wijzigen in Karl Eduard Schedl. Trouwens ik heb reeds 300.000 species etc. toegevoegd bij species.wikimedia. PeterRoelofs (talk) 10:18, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Content changed on target page
Hi Lotje. I see you did some source-related changes on Isabel dos Santos, so I imagine you are quite up to date with the ins and outs of sources and related issues. On Isabel dos Santos there is a source that is a the front page of a newspaper and the content naturally changes all the time. Is there a tag to indicate that, or should I just remove the source and try find a replacement? Thanks, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 00:02, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
- It was actually quite easy and quick to find a permanent link to the article, but for future reference, I would still like to know what to do if one cannot be found. Thanks. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 00:07, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Rui Gabriel Correia: If the reference cannot be found, I add the citation needed template, for example: {{citation needed|January 2020}}. Hope that answers your question. BTW, I added the dead link statements in the <ref></ref> section. :-) Lotje (talk) 05:11, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
