Newbies

Hi. "Special:Contributions/newbies" is not a thing. Looks like you're talking about "Special:Contributions?contribs=newbie". IKhitron (talk) 11:09, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

@IKhitron: Yes, it is: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/newbies Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 11:49, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I can see now, it's just a CirrusSearch problem. IKhitron (talk) 11:52, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Whitelist

Hi,
Where we can ask to whitelist an IP address ? There will be a specific page on each project ? A meta page ? Simon Villeneuve 13:42, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Simon Villeneuve: That particular part isn't new, so it would vary from wiki to wiki depending on how it has set up the workflows to handle such requests. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 14:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Ok. Do you have some examples of this ? All I've found is en:MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist and it doesn't have a Wikidata item. Simon Villeneuve 14:37, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Simon Villeneuve: On my home wiki, I'd ask at w:sv:Wikipedia:Begäran om åtgärder. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 15:13, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
