New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023 edit
Hello Dcheagle,
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).

Joseph Harroz Jr. edit
Hey, I noted that Joe Harroz didn't have an article. So I created a rough one. I figured you may want to contribute, especially considering the upcoming SEC move.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 04:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- @UCO2009bluejay Nice, been meaning to get one going myself. I'll take a look and see what I might be able to add to it. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 06:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Retaliatory SPI edit
Hi Dcheagle, one of the socks you reported opened a retaliatory SPI against you. Thought you might be interested. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 09:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
A word of advice edit
Hey - I'm not going to take any action on this now that the other accounts has been blocked as the sock of a troll, but... edit warring, and logging out to continue the edit war, isn't a good look. If you are tempted to edit war against an account you suspect is a sock, report them and unless it's outright vandalism, wait to revert them until they've been blocked. (Then ask at RFPP for the page to be semi-protected if they keep coming back.) If you are tempted to edit war and you don't suspect the other account is a sock, well, don't - you blew past 3RR on that page, and in different circumstances you might have been looking at a block yourself. Hope that makes sense. Girth Summit (blether) 13:30, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
