Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from  to  '''

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as and  have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Hi from Mamobo in Ireland
Hi Antiqueight,

I hope you are well,

I am getting to know the wiki community and I recently came accross you! I am the founder of an Irish social enterprise that raises underrepresented voices through media. www.gormmedia.com (as an Irish speaker you may get the name hehe). I would love to connect with you and see opportunities for collaboration.

Best wishes, Mamobo Mamobo O (talk) 19:05, 15 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Delighted to meet you ! - And totally interested in underrepresented voices especially in Ireland. I'm sure you are also aware of We Are Irish too? You should reach out to the Wikimedia Community Ireland too for a group with an inclusive perspective and objective, if you haven't already. You can find us on Mastondon.ie and facebook and twitter(I used to be there but not anymore) for community building.
 * I look forward to chatting and seeing how you are getting on.

Hello from a great-grandson of one of your entries
I'm a great-grandson of Mary Jane Christie Serrano whom you biographied on Wikipedia. How may I contact you to ask some questions regarding your research? I'm attempting to clarify the details regarding her husband my great-grandfather who you listed as Spanish, but I believe he was Colombian. I would like to prove my Irish lineage.
