Hello Eejit43,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
Reminders
You chose a bad move target for Tiden (newspaper, Arendal) because Tiden (newspaper) is also a Norwegian newspaper. Geschichte ( talk) 04:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Eejit43 - and thanks for building redirect-helper :)
I just had a query regarding a warning it gave me -- I was trying to create a redirect from
Ffransis (given name) to
Ffransis with the rcat {{
R from unnecessary disambiguation}} (before I realised that
Ffransis G. Payne would be a better target, as the rest of the people listed at
Ffransis had it as a surname), and redirect-helper warned me that [t]his page is a redirect to a surname list, but it is not tagged with a correct disambiguation categorization template
. I was slightly confused by this - it might be that I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what redirect template the script wanted me to use here!

Hi again - I was just wondering if it might be possible to add the feature to afcrc-helper
to be able to accept/decline some requests in a section, and leave the others for another reviewer to respond to? The use case for this in my mind is in case a reviewer feels confident responding to some requests in a section, but perhaps isn't personally sure about accepting or declining the others - which another reviewer might feel more happy to do. (I just attempted to do this myself at
WP:AFC/R, but afcrc-helper didn't like that I hadn't selected a response for all the requests made in a given section.)
(I promise I'm still planning on replying in the section I started above about redirect-helper
, btw - I'm just very disorganised :P
)

Hi Eejit43 — I noticed that {{ R from gender}} is listed in redirect-helper.json, so I just wanted to drop you a courtesy note that I’ve proposed that the template is moved to {{ R from gendered term}}: Template talk:R from gender § Requested move 1 May 2024.

Hi, just wanted to let you know, I tried to use the helper to handle a move in this revision of the helpdesk, but it threw an error, stating that the draft title for Luke Charlesworth is invalid. It might just be to do with my extensions, but I figured I'd let you know. ASUKITE 15:06, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
