New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello SMcCandlish,

Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Reviewer names

It's been a while since you made this post on my user talk page and I just had the urge to say thanks again for that. I've been following your advice on this subject (and in many cases going back to my old review additions and fixing them), and it definitely feels more right to me now. Thank you for making my Wikipedia editing a little happier. Martin IIIa (talk) 01:07, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Glad it helped. :-) — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:12, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

RfD on Scandal sheet

Done

Hi, only now discovering that you are the creator of this redirect page, else I would certainly have pinged you with my question the other day!

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Scandal sheet and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 January 9 § Scandal sheet until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Today's featured article is Osbert Parsley, not by me but Amitchell125 where I commented, including the beginning of my songs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:41, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments for Jenny Lind. I linked to the guidelines of project opera, updated 2019! - Do you think you could question those of project composer (2010) which are still used in hidden text to request that you find consensus before an edit (Debussy, for example)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Melitta Muszely died, RIP - the other story is 10 years old OTD ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:33, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Your WP:RSN post about Maltese newspapers
