Reversion to Constitutional Carry page
I made a revision to the Constitutional Carry page on 12:15, 3 July 2021. You undid this edit stating "unexplained content removal". However, an explanation was provided stating "Illinois removed from list of states with limited form of permitless concealed carry - Explanation for removal is located in the Talk section under the heading "Illinois Limited Permitless Carry - FOID Card" In the Talk section of the page, I explained:
'The article states Illinois has a limited form of permitless carry for unloaded handguns that are enclosed in a case. However, it also says that such handgun must be possessed in conjunction with an Illinois FOID.
It is required for an Illinois resident to possess a handgun. FOID_(firearms). The FOID is only issued by the Illinois State Police after a background check and is directly related to the possession of a firearm (which is prerequisite to carry one).
Given that a FOID is a permit, and that it is required to carry an unloaded handgun enclosed in a case, it does not seem appropriate to describe this as a limited form of permitless carry. A permit, specifically an Illinois FOID, is required. LonghornBob (talk) 23:11, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Further to this point. There are five shall issue states (Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Washington) that do not have a training requirement to obtain a concealed carry license. If Illinois, which as the article states, requires a government issued FOID card to carry an unloaded handgun enclosed in case is considered a "permitless carry" state, then any state that does not require training to carry (but does require a license) could also be considered "permitless carry" in some sense. Thus, the inclusion of Illinois in this section should be removed. LonghornBob (talk) 23:36, 25 May 2021 (UTC)'

Tech News
- The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 19 July.
Recent changes
- AutoWikiBrowser is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses JSON.
Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPagehas moved toWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSONandWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config.Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Versionhas moved toWikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [1]
Problems
- InternetArchiveBot helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to Wayback Machine and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from
archive.istoweb.archive.org. [2]
Changes later this week
- The tool to find, add and remove templates will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [3][4]
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- Some Wikimedia wikis use Flagged Revisions or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful. [5]
