There is a very large redirects backlog
The October 2023 New Page Patrol Backlog Drive was a one-month-long effort to reduce the backlog of the new pages patrol articles and redirects feed. The coordinators for this drive were Hey man im josh, Illusion Flame, and DreamRimmer. The drive began on 1 October 2023 and ended on 31 October 2023. The ultimate goal of this backlog drive was to reduce the number of articles and redirects awaiting patrol, whilst maintaining quality reviews. Awards were given out to participants based on their contributions during the drive. This drive has ended.
Points were calculated based on the month's total, according to the leaderboard. It was updated by TolBot Task 8, which counted patrols and deletion nominations, but could only detect deletion nominations when performed with the Page Curation tool. CSD logs made by Twinkle were also accepted and added to the leaderboard at the end of the drive, based on the principle of good faith.
The article reviews received 1 point, and the redirect reviews received 0.25 points. Reviewers were encouraged to patrol both articles and redirects.
The users who participated in this drive can be seen here.
There were 11,626 unreviewed articles and 16,985 unreviewed redirects, at the start of the drive (1 October 2023). At the end of the drive (31 October 2023), there were 7,609 unreviewed articles and 6,431 unreviewed redirects.
