Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers/Guidelines for granting
Generally speaking, editors granted new page reviewer should:
- Have been a registered user for at least 90 days with at least 500 undeleted mainspace edits
- Have a good knowledge of content policies and guidelines and experience with quality control processes. This is typically demonstrated by prior participation in one or a combination of the following areas:
- The deletion processes, i.e. AfD, PROD, and CSD
- Articles for Creation
- Writing new articles
- Have a solid track record of interacting with other editors, especially new editors, in a civil and constructive manner
- Have no behavioral blocks or 3RR violations that were active within the last 6 months
- Commit to reviewing pages solely on a volunteer basis
These criteria are guidelines; meeting them does not constitute a right to the permission. At their discretion, administrators may grant the permission to editors who do not meet the strict criteria but that they otherwise deem to be competent, or may ask for additional experience. Typically, consistent recent activity is required, to ensure that reviewers are familiar with current policy and guidelines. Activity on other Wikimedia projects is not taken into consideration.
