I restored this page that you tagged for deletion because the deletion left a bunch of broken redirects which should probably point to one of the two articles for subjects with this name. If you look at "What links here" for this page and correct the redirects to point to an appropriate target article, I'd be happy to re-delete this page for you. I'm not familiar enough with the athletes to know who should be the primary article target. Thank you. LizRead!Talk! 19:45, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Ahh of course, no problem. I'll let you know when I've resolved it. Thanks for letting notifying me.

Hello @
Liz. I have fixed the redirects so they should be good when the move is complete. Could you please also delete
D. J. Moore (disambiguation) as the DAB page will be replaced by
D. J. Moore (wide receiver), and the (disambiguation) will be unnecessary?
If there any more issues, please let me know. Thanks,

In this test, we use post-edit dialogs (pop-ups shown after publishing an edit) and notifications to encourage new editors to try new types of newcomer-friendly suggested edits.
Community Ambassadors completed an initial evaluation that confirmed that prioritizing underlinked articles resulted in better article suggestions. We then evaluated the change on Growth pilot wikis, and results suggest that more newcomers are successfully completing the task and experiencing fewer reverts. We have now deployed the new prioritization model to all wikis with "add a link" enabled.
[8][9]
We continue the deployment of "add a link" to more wikis. These changes are regularly announced in
Tech News. To know if newcomers at your wiki have access to this feature, please visit
your Homepage.
The
Impact module was deployed on our pilot wikis, where we conducted an A/B test. We published
initial findings, and a data scientist is now completing experiment analysis.
