Zahrazamedahmedi has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the preceding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!
'"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple.
If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message! |

ReferenceEditor bug
[edit]Hey.
Expanding bare links and adding archive links using your tool doesn't save the changes upon submitting save. Not sure if it matters at all, but I edit in mobile desktop view using the vector 2010 skin. Can you resolve this? 8rz (talk) 21:56, 1 November 2026 (UTC)
- I'm not planning on working on that script more; it was never fully functional or bug-free, unfortunately. —Ingenuity (talk) 02:36, 2 November 2026 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – November 2026
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (October 2026).
Administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, election to ArbCom now requires at least 60% support. Successful candidates normally serve two-year terms, with one-year terms retained for filling vacancies. Proposals to change the election rules may now be added throughout the year and discussed on the talk page; formal discussion remains in September.
- Following an RfC, first-time reviewers’ reviews require an experienced reviewer’s check, and GA requirements now include alt text and accessible tables. Featured articles may receive GA status during removal discussions if they meet GA criteria. Backlog drives will run every five months, with a points leaderboard and awards for the top five participants.
Miscellaneous
- Self-nominations for the Arbitration Committee are open until 11 November 2026.
- Ongoing backlog drives: Copy editing, Unreference articles
