Partial-block extended to full ban
[edit]Most or all of the current partial block requests are by an editor who has since been banned from Wikipedia. Should these be processed as normal, or should they be procedurally closed? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:41, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- I would say that if you're 100% sure the edit is correct and properly cited (note that the editor in question was known for source misrepresentation which is one of the reasons they were banned) then implement it, but if you have any doubt don't hesitate to decline. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- I've cleared the backlog finally, since they aren't any other takers. I did the trivial requests (add an image, add an infobox), and declined everything involving substantive content or references. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:11, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

"Please establish a consensus with editors engaged in the subject area before using the relevant edit request template"
[edit]how is it possible to do this? a user would need to make an edit to actually communicate with others, before being allowed to edit Sachdev Penrose (talk) 19:13, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Simple, you start a discussion on the article's talk page with your concerns and once a consensus is reached then use the template to request the change. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:31, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
List not updating?
[edit]The list isn't updating which is weird??? Valorrr (lets chat) 17:37, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- I assume you are referring to your closing of Talk:Spotify#Semi-protected edit request on 26 March 2025. When a
{{Edit semi-protected|answered=no}}changes to{{Edit semi-protected|answered=yes}}, the Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests updates pretty much immediately. - However, the big table at User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable (which you can also see on the category's page) is updated by a bot, which doesn't happen immediately. Instead, it is updated whenever the bot is launched the next time. Judging by the page's history, the bot runs pretty often, e.g. yesterday it updated the page 46 times. —andrybak (talk) 18:38, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
