New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

[edit]

Hello Eejit43,

New Page Review queue April to June 2023

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Rcat missing from redirect-helper?

[edit]

Hi there! Sorry to bother you, I just noticed that Template:R from taxonomic author abbreviation doesn't seem to be an available option when using redirect-helper and wanted to flag it with you in case there's some kind of issue. redirect-helper is an absolutely fantastic tool, thank you so much for your hard work on it :) Cheers, Ethmostigmus 🌿 (talk | contribs) 05:08, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was caused as the template wasn't properly categorized in Category:Redirect templates so my script didn't pick up on. I've added this so the rcat is now supported. Thanks for pointing that out, and I'm so glad the tool has been helpful :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 13:59, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

afcrc-helper Feature Request: Don't add to watchlist

[edit]

Hey @Eejit43,

I have used your script to create about 40-50 redirects till now. I would greatly appreciate if there was a feature to not add pages created to watchlist, as most of the times it is not needed, and one is just bombarded with notifications of it being reviewed. It can be as simple as a set variable in our common.js file, or maybe a toggle setting inside the menu.

Thanks for your time! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:56, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you have found the script useful! The script relies on user preferences for watching pages, found at Preferences → Watchlist → Watched pages → Tick Add pages and files I move edit to my watchlist.
I'll think about the best way to override this, but I'll likely add a common.js override. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 15:09, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick response. That is useful, but it will also not add pages that we create or move automatically to the watchlist. So a .js override will be best. No pressure though, take your time, but please do drop me a message if you do. Thanks for the wonderful script ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:23, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This has been implemented through a window.afcrcConfig. createdPageWatchMethod option, see User:Eejit43/scripts/afcrc-helper § Configuration for more information. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 16:50, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick fix. This will greatly improve ones experience of using this script. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:45, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AfcRC helper redirect cat feature request

[edit]

Hi @Eejit43

Sorry for bugging you again about the script. As I have seen, most of the redirects created for a single request have the same selection of rcats. So, of there was a way to specify r cat for the entire request, then that would remove the work of mannualy entering the same category for each redirect.

This is probably a bit more lengthy than the last one, but hope you can fulfill it. Thanks for the script and continued support given. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 04:47, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
