Duration template is not necessary per Template:Infobox song
Hi. I just saw your edit summary on Hey, Hey, Rise Up! regarding "why would anyone remove this". Per Template:Infobox song (and Template:Infobox album), the duration should be formatted this way, as the duration template is not necessary because its function (emitting the hAudio microformat) is fulfilled by the infobox automatically for the first length detected/used (in the format mm:ss). This is why the song infobox documentation says to use the duration template when multiple lengths are present.  Ss  112   19:21, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. When did all that change? In any case, hAudio does not take multiple duration values. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:28, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The functionality seems to have been added in May 2017.  Ss  112   19:35, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Nice one, Andy. A great addition. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:27, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

today performances in Ukraine - for Ukraine - for peace, at the bottom an imaginary set of eight DYK - and more May pics--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:23, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

today more pics, and should this woman have an article? - or only her sons? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:39, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello ,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently Special:ListUsers/patroller New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent 05:18, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
