New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022[edit]

Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg
New Page Review queue March 2022

Hello CAPTAIN RAJU,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 721 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 1041 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Tagging User pages for speedy deletion[edit]

Hello, CAPTAIN RAJU,

I have a favor to ask. You patrol a lot of new user pages throughout the day. If you see content on User pages that looks like the draft of an article, PLEASE move it to Draft space or to a User Sandbox rather than tagging the page for speedy deletion, CSD U5. Most of the pages I see that you have tagged are by very, very new editors and they might not be aware of the fact that their main User page is not an appropriate location to write an article. So, get the "Move to Draft" script or just use the Move feature and allow them to work on their article in Draft or User space. It must be crushing to create an account on Wikipedia, work on a draft and then have the page deleted just because it was in the wrong namespace. If it was me, well, I wouldn't come back to try a second time if that was the reception I received.

Of course, my advice should not be followed if the content is autobiographical or promotional or an attack page or vandalism or any of the regular kind of content that causes us to delete pages. Thank you for considering my suggestion. I appreciate all of the work you do here. Liz Read! Talk! 06:34, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editing newsletter 2022 – #1[edit]

Read this in another languageSubscription list for the multilingual newsletterLocal subscription list

New editors were more successful with this new tool.

The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.
