WikiProject reports & Disambiguation

Some time ago you asked for input at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United Kingdom for a Signpost wikiproject report & I commented that it wasn't an active project in the same way that many others are. Would you be interested in doing one on Wikipedia:Disambiguation and specifically Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links which, although they don't have wikiproject in the title, are active places for collaboration &, as can be seen from Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/The Daily Disambig, have reduced the number of disambiguation pages with links from 65,000 to a couple of thousand (it was below 1,000 for the first time ever earlier this month). A Signpost article might help editors relaise that around 500 links are generated daily and what they can do to help avoid/reduce this.— Rod talk 20:42, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Rodw, Sounds like a great idea, I'll leave a message there. programmingGeek(contribs) { this.timestamp = 02:11, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

The reply-link newsletter, issue 1

Hi! Welcome to the new reply-link newsletter, which I made because the ol' list on the reply-link talk page was unwieldy. In case you haven't been following development recently, I've sent out some new updates that should let it reply basically anywhere, even in transcluded pages or under hatted discussions (two locations people have been wanting for a while). Reliability has also gone way up, as I've implemented a couple of sanity checks that help prevent the script from responding to the wrong message. Unfortunately, that means the script fails a bit more often. Anyway, try it out if you haven't done so in a while, and let me know what you think! I always appreciate feature requests or bug reports on the talk page. Happy replying! (Signup list/Unsubscribe) MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:23, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
