RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for wording change

Hi, is this from one of your bots? Is there any way I could convince you to change "bogus file options" to something a little less derogatory, like "file option errors" or some other wording of your choice? There's a backstory to the request but tl;dr somebody says it's ok to use "bogus" in an edit summary because it's in this report (and maybe whatever tool he is using). He's pretty wrong about that, but is not a native English speaker and apparently doesn't believe wiktionary.

Changing the software labels is a fairly trivial ask as far as I know, and it would rescue us both from a conversation that neither he nor I is enjoying. I would appreciate it if that happened. Elinruby (talk) 22:25, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have subscribed to the topic; ok to answer here Elinruby (talk) 22:27, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Bogus (file options)" **IS** the official Wikipedia term for unrecognized file parameters within WP:EIS file syntax. Details on the Bogus file options can be found here. Using the word "bogus" is in no way, shape, or form, any sort of commentary on you or your edits. To my knowledge, Firefly is not the originator of the term and is not in control of the term. Jonesey95 simply mentioned Firefly's report as it is a far easier to use than Wikipedia's report layout of the same information seen here, and was not saying Firefly had any control over the term.

@Zinnober9: thank you for the answer. Where then would be the place to take this request? the ticket system? The fact that the wording is "official" doesn't make it any less insulting. The word should not appear in an edit summary. If the wording comes from the WMF, then the WMF needs to be asked to comply with its own CoC. I realize that Jonesey95 feels blindsided, and I have disengaged, but he and I previously had a run-in about "fixing" things within minutes of an error occurring. And sure, yes, there was an error. I failed to type "alt=" and did not immediately remove the original caption when I decided I liked the wording intended for the alt better than the caption. This is probably a fringe case in that the vast majority of lint errors are probably on abandoned articles. I wonder though if we could make this easier for the Joneseys of Wikipedia by not including errors that are less than x amount of time old in the report. Let's take this off firefly's page if he has nothing to do with it, as he seems to have enough to worry about already. Please make any response to either my talk page or, if it's more convenient, ping me from elsewhere. Elinruby (talk) 00:25, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FireflyBot bug?

In this edit, FireflyBot warned a user that their sandbox would soon be eligible for deletion under WP:G13. This is obviously false, right? jlwoodwa (talk) 03:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
