Muninnbot

Hi Tigraan, hope you're doing well!
I noticed that Muninnbot looks like it hasn't been running since August 2022.
I completely understand if there's real-life commitments that require you to take an extended wikibreak for now! Real life always comes first, and it's important to prioritize that.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add myself to the tool, so that it could be put back up again?
Please note that if no objections are raised within 14 days, this request may be actioned per the abandoned tool policy.
Thanks so much!

Hello Frostly, I am also interested in the bot/tool, and I've more than two years of experience with toolforge, maybe we could be co-maintainers? Pinging Novem Linguae as involved bag. Let me know what you guys think. —usernamekiran (talk) 04:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Small correction: I'm not part of the WP:BAG at this time. Maybe someday :) Usernamekiran, you may be interested in joining our central discussion of this bot (and in particular its Teahouse notification task) at Wikipedia talk:Teahouse#Bot inoperable. –Novem Linguae (talk) 04:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi folks. Thanks for the concern (I have had some real-life issues in the last six months, so, yeah, Wikipedia or Muninnbot were not on top of my list). I will be answering on the Teahouse thread. TigraanClick here for my talk page ("private" contact) 18:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Tigraan,

 
New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

 

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Muninnbot: Digging Teahouse archive links failure

Muninnbot's task "Digging Teahouse archive links" failed to run per the configuration specified at Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 5 days, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify= parameter from the {{/task}} template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 13:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
