Following a motion, the GSCASTE extended-confirmed restriction in the Indian military history case has been narrowed. It now applies to caste-related topics in South Asia, and the preemptive protection remedy has been amended accordingly.
Hi Mattythewhite, i wanted to edit an article about my hometown in English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangal but it was put into an EEP since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:General_sanctions/Kurds_and_Kurdistan this exists. Now i do have a credible source and i have added it, but the person i am talking with is refusing to use the direct citation from a book, they have used a citation from 2014, and i have found a book from the exact same person who published an article later in 2019, but they are refusing to add it per my request and keep closing my edit request for this article. Could you be a neutral party here and decide what the final decision is? Thank you for your time Sivasliman (talk) 20:11, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
Awesome

Hi @Jameboy:, it's been a while! Thanks so much. Incredible, never experienced anything like that in what is now twenty years of following York City. Maybe we'll get you in the EFL Cup next season!🙂 Mattythewhite (talk) 20:13, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
Loans in infobox
Hi, it's standard to have a <br> in between loan/parent club in the 'current club' parameter... GiantSnowman 20:45, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
To stop the infobox being unduly wide, I presume? GiantSnowman 20:52, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
(talk page watcher) I usually decide on a case-by-case basis whether to use <br>, depending on whether having it all in one lines has an effect on the width of the infobox. Robby.is.on (talk) 21:03, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
Updater template
Before I make the effort, are you planning on updating the League One and Two finishing positions?
Also, are you working on the step 3 and below ones (I was thinking about starting that). Cheers, Number57 15:46, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
@Number 57: Hi. Yeah, I'm about to do Leagues One and Two; just waiting for all the matches to finish. But I've no intention of doing steps 3 and below; you can have that pleasure! Mattythewhite (talk) 16:00, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Arbitration
The arbitration case SchroCat has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 15 April.
Per a recent motion, appeals of blocks from the conflict-of-interest VRT queue are, by default, appealed on-wiki through the normal unblock process. However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.
Per a recent motion, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.
