Update of Lawfare (website)
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)
- 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)
- 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)

New pages
I noticed this in the latest Administrators Newsletter:
- The New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2024 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 13,000 unreviewed articles awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
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)
- 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)
- ....that anyone knows about. There could be some pretty fringey stuff that sits there with Wikipedia's name on it. It should automatically get a tag that must be removed by a reviewer or experienced editor. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- It is certainly the case that hoaxes and bad articles exist, even new ones happening as we speak, but I don't have any solution to that. There are heavier implementations of flagged or reviewed revisions and pending changes. I'm not entirely sure where those are applied to, but they do exist.
