New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023
editHello 3PPYB6/Archives,
- 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 The former script is no longer maintained.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.
- Reminders

- If you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.

Yes…
edit… one year ago, I had made what may have been the biggest mistake in my whole entire wiki-career.
One year later, I am undergoing inactivity as I now am being consumed by other things in life.
What's the lesson to be learned here? Take things slowly—don't let your curiosity kill you.
Hopefully I will avoid such mistakes again. — 3PPYB6 (T / C / L) — 18:45, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Ali Harbi Ali
edit
Hello, 3PPYB6. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Ali Harbi Ali".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hello, take a look
editHello. I hope this message meets you well. So positively review this page Anita Osikweme Osikhena. Amaekuma (talk) 16:35, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Amaekuma – I've reviewed the page. So far it looks good! There is, however, a conflict regarding that article and another draft covering the same subject, Draft:Aniitablonde. In the worst-case scenario we may have to perform a history merge on it. Thanks for your creation! — 3PPYB6 (T / C / L) — 00:15, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Whoopsies, haha! Looks like I got my policies and guidelines wrong (it happens)! It looks like it's an accidental content fork instead. — 3PPYB6 (T / C / L) — 00:17, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Lol. We are all human, so we are all allowed to make mistakes.
- About the double pages on the same subject, I’ve handled it by creating a redirect. Thanks for your time Amaekuma (talk) 06:06, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hello. I hope you’re doing well. Do review this page Kelechi Onuzurike. Cheers. Amaekuma (talk) 09:19, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

- Hello. It's great to be in touch again, I hope you’re having a great day. Do review Adetola Nola. Cheers. Amaekuma (talk) 20:37, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
