[Wikimedia-l] Special:Block - See the new designs and give feedback about logging blocks

[Sydney Poore]

Hello All,

*TL;DR*

*If you’re interested in changes to how Special:Block works, then see the
discussion about Partial blocks
.
And give feedback. *

The Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team is talking with the
Wikimedia community about adding a partial blocks function to Special:Block.
1


While no functionality will change for sitewide blocks, Special:Block will
change to allow the ability to block a user from:

   1.

   Editing one or more specific page(s)
   2.

   Editing all pages within one or more namespace(s)
   3.

   Uploading files
   4.

   Emailing other users

Proposed changes to how logging of blocks happens is being discussed now.2


The third set of designs for the layout are also available for review.3


Please spread the word and forward this email to others (especially
administrators) who might be interested in helping re-design
Special:Block's layout.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikisource Handbook

[Ananth Subray]

Dear All,

We all know that Wikisource is one of the trending Wikimedia projects. We
are getting many new editors and new books to Indic language Wikisource's.
At the same time, we even noticed that there are many problems faced by the
new editors and a few of the existing editors.  To help all of the editors
we have created a Handbook titled as *Wikisource Handbook for Indic
communities
.
*Which is now available[1] to everyone to make the best use of it. I
request everyone to share this with all those who are in need of support in
editing Wikisource.


Authors of the book: Bodhisattwa Mandal and Ananth Subray P V.
