ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

Hi there, I saw you did some formatting on this page with the edit summary "strictly an unnecessary twodab". I've never created a disambiguation page before, but I just wanted to clarify this, as I read the relevant help sections. Since there is no primary topic, is it correct to have a disambiguation page rather than a hatnote? Can you confirm this is right; if not, then I will make the necessary changes.

User:OliverEastwood, considering there is a difference in spelling I think the current titles are OK. Both are prominently mentioned and linked in the other article, so there isn't even any need for hatnotes. As such, the disambiguation page isn't strictly necessary, but is mostly harmless. older ≠ wiser 10:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-05-18T10:46:00.000Z","author":"Bkonrad","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Bkonrad-2019-05-18T10:46:00.000Z-OliverEastwood-2019-05-18T07:09:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"older"}}-->
