  • A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

Regarding the AIV noticeboard

Hi K6ka, thanks for putting in the block. I apologize for reverting my own report (after noticing that account was already locked), though I didn’t realize the autoblock here would still apply. Thankfully another individual also reported it. Tropicalkitty (talk) 21:15, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tropicalkitty: (I assume you're referring to Hao binh) I actually blocked because in the past, another admin had suggested I go ahead and block them anyway, just in case they for some reason get unlocked (it wasn't for a community-banned editor either). An additional block doesn't hurt anybody! —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 12:23, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Impersonation?

Someone just tried to create a clone of your user page with a name along the lines of yours. Is this some sort of impersonation attempt? TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 17:42, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TheManInTheBlackHat: Indeed, it is. They were blocked a minute after your message too. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 19:05, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi K6ka, are you sure that semi-protection and a BLP violation block can prevent what everyone except the IP editor did? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:33, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree: I looked at the page protection log for Liv Morgan and saw the previous protection was for unsourced content, so I must've mixed the block and protection rationales up. They shouldn't be for adding unsourced content, as there was no unsourced content being added by the IP. Apologies for the mixup. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 18:58, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
