2020–21 FC Goa season
Hello Miniapollis, Hope you have a great day , There is a small glitch in this article while seeing it from mobile devices. I checked the source code everything looks fine. But when you see it from mobile devices the  competition Section is showing up as the sub section of  Transfer section. Can you fix this one ?? ThanksPoppified (talk) 14:44, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks fine on my desktop, and Current technical staff is a level-2 section in between; maybe one (or more) of the tables is messing up the mobile view. Since this is beyond my ken, try WP:VPT. Good luck and all the best,  Mini  apolis  15:45, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Oh dear; looks like we've got ourselves a live one here. I've asked the user to keep it to their own userspace but it might be worth watching for disruption at the Guild and elsewhere. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  05:13, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Sleeper account, revived about a week ago after a year's absence. My spidey sense tells me we're being trolled. Stay well and all the best,  Mini  apolis  14:46, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking; I wouldn't be surprised but I think it's probably someone who doesn't understand Wikipedia's purpose, let alone it's culture. I didn't check beyond the contribs but the stuff on the user and talk pages are pretty strange. Hopefully the user will get bored; I see they've been noticed by other admins too.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello ,



It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to and  who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to, , and who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
 * Year in review

has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
 * Reviewer of the Year

As a special recognition and thank you has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.
