[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''

*An [[TW:CP#Crat requirements's policy|RfC]] at the community portal led to the implementation of a new [[TW:Bureaucrat policy|policy]] outlining the requirements that users must meet in order to request [[TW:CRAT|bureaucrat rights]].

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''

*Following an [[Test Wiki:Community portal#Alternate proposal: Restricted group and abusefilter sysop group|RfC]] at the community portal, two new user groups — [[Test Wiki:Abuse filter#Abuse filter administrators (abusefilter-admin)|abusefilter-admin]] and [[Test Wiki:Abuse filter#Users blocked from the abuse filter (abusefilter-restricted)|abusefilter-restricted]] were [[phab:rMW350c653c0f7d03fba0a10db97207d7d26f206957|created]]. These rights can only be assigned by following a vote on the [[Test Wiki:Community portal|community portal]] and/or at least two stewards supporting it.
