DRN volunteer list

I'm the current DRN coordinator and I'd like to work on pruning our volunteer list and also on rallying the troops, but I'm not sure which list is the "official one." We have three possibilities:

1. Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering#List of the DRN volunteers
2. The graphical list at the bottom of Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteers
3. The "old list" section at the top of that same page

Am I correct that the bot only looks at #1 in determining who to list as a volunteer in the status box? Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 19:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

I just removed the "old list" section; hope that's not messing something up... — TransporterMan (TALK) 19:45, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, yes. The bot uses Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering, and considers every user to be a volunteer in the section with the comment "<!-- please don't remove this comment (used by EarwigBot) -->" (which is currently "List of the DRN volunteers", as you noted). — Earwig ^talk 00:02, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
