I finally got around to updating the article and moving it. Now we need to update the links to the old "blog" location: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Lawfare_(blog) -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 20:57, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe there is an AutoWikiBrowser type tool that will allow you to do many at once, and somewhere there is a noticeboard or some user who can do that, I am not one of them, but I know it's not something you should attempt to do manually, when a script or bot can do it Andre🚐 21:30, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It just dawned on me that Lawfare (website) might be better. It's an online multimedia publication, and that just means it's a website with varied types of content. A short name is a nice thing. What do you think? Pinging Soibangla. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 21:56, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that might be better. I looked to see if Lawfare sells any bound material, but not that I can determine. Andre🚐 23:42, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll go ahead and fix that matter. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 00:03, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New pages

I noticed this in the latest Administrators Newsletter:

I wonder about that. For security and reader protection, shouldn't all unreviewed new pages automatically get a big banner at the top that declares the article is not yet reviewed or vetted? Readers should know. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 02:33, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. Practically speaking, anything egregious does generally get flagged pretty easily. The stuff that's hanging out in the queue needs a closer eye as it's not obviously a problem. Andre🚐 03:15, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
