Template talk:NPP dashboard

Oldest article
The oldest article stat is currently taken from the creation date of the page, not when it was moved to mainspace (and thus entered the NPP queue). Thanks for the tip. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 08:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Is T40930 the correct bug? Looks like it might be unrelated. – Novem Linguae (talk) 09:09, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, fixed. It's phab:T38930. Apparently missing the T causes Tracked to pick something at random... –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Long labels
I've no problem with this, but since you're concerned about the template's height I thought I should point out that it increases the width of the individual cells such that they now wrap onto two rows on pages like New pages patrol (with Vector 2022 + standard zoom).

I struggled to find concise and unambiguous labels myself. I thought we could get away without "unreviewed" because the template as a whole has the heading "NPP backlog", so it should be implied? –&#8239;Joe (talk) 13:28, 26 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that wrap isn't good. One thing to explore would be to have the wrap be for the labels themselves. That is, have the labels be two lines. I could probably do that in CSS. I'll go ahead and revert for now, but I'm interested to see if we can add clarity to the labels without experiencing other downsides. – Novem Linguae (talk) 13:40, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Error
There is no way the backlog went up 5341 since last week, there must be some error with the data. Courtesy pings for @Joe Roe @Novem Linguae Zippybonzo &#124; Talk (he&#124;him) 13:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it's fixed now. There's currently a problem with MusikBot which means it's only updating the the data the template uses sporadically ( is aware and working on it). In the meantime, I'd added a function that estimates the growth rate from the data we do have, but had forgotten to use it for the 7-day warning. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 14:16, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, I was wondering why the template thought we had a 0 article backlog last week. (it must be having memories of last year) Zippybonzo &#124; Talk (he&#124;him) 14:36, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
