New Page Review Coordinators

NPR is a complex process. It requires a team of experienced editors–the coordinators–to keep it together.
Most importantly, the coordinator group avoids duplication of efforts by other users.

Becoming an NPP coordinator

If you wish to help with any of the coordination activities below, please make sure you have the NPP permission without expiration and have a couple month's experience with NPP. Then make a post at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Coordination saying that you're interested in taking up a particular role. Then we'll give you feedback, perhaps have you work on the task for a bit, and potentially add you to the coordinator list.

What the coordinators do

The coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining the internal structure and processes of NPR. They coordinate activities, maintain our pages, and organize drives and conferring of all awards other than the standard barnstar. They have no authority over article content or editor conduct and have no special powers conferred by their coordinator or patrolling/reviewing activities.

The coordinators' main role is performing the maintenance and housekeeping tasks required to keep the project and its internal processes running smoothly. These include updating Omboxes, page top and edit notices, managing and maintaining the Bugs and Features Requests page, managing backlog drives and other events, drafting newsletters, and maintaining relations with the WMF when required. Theoretically much of this could be done by any editor—the coordinators have explicit roles in only a few processes—but since experience suggests people tend to assume someone else is doing essential tasks, the most efficient route has proven to be to delegate formal responsibility for this administrative work to a specified group of coordinators.

The coordinators have several other roles. They are explicitly listed as people to whom questions can be directed in a variety of places around the project. They lead the drafting of project guidelines and policies, oversee the implementation of project decisions, and help to informally resolve disputes and keep discussions from becoming heated and unproductive.

Accountability and elections

The team of coordinators is currently a de facto body, i.e. it is not an elected office. If NPP community consensus desires an election at any time, the coordinators will organise it and appoint a non-involved commissioner.

Current team

Inactive

  • MB — Joint lead coordinator; general issues, WMF liaison
  • Kudpung — (NPP 'emeritus' - shoveled detrius 2010–2018), delivering pizza, making the tea, switching the lights off when everyone's gone home.

Former lead coordinators

Potential tasks for new coordinators

  • Recruitment – By doing checks of folks on this list, and then using the template on that page to invite the promising ones
  • Autopatrolled nominating and auditing – Check Wikipedia:Database reports/Editors eligible for Autopatrol privilege and other reports and nominate active and promising editors for autopatrolled. Check Special:NewPagesFeed and filter by "Edits by autopatrolled users" and look for folks that may be abusing autopatrol.
  • Practical tips guide – The notability guideline pages are the de jure notability rules. But what are the de facto ones? What are the trends at AFD? Which SNG sections are frequently used to save articles at AFD, and which have fallen into almost complete disuse? What are some workflow optimizations? What are the best user scripts? An experienced patroller will have seen these patterns and will be able to write a practical tips guide for other patrollers.

Coordinator tasks (detailed)

  • Watch over all the pages connected with New Page Patrolling and reviewing (see page-top nav bar) and answer questions at any of the talk pages.
  • Tech stuff
  • Recruitment
    • Seek out and recruit new patrollers.
    • Monitor (but do not clerk) the page at RFP/New page reviewer, but are welcome to add non-admin comments that might aid an admin's decision.
  • Newsletter and mailing list:
    • Act as editorial board for a quarterly (or any other period) newsletter (drafted in the newsletter archive below).
    • Monitor the Newsletter mailing list. (sometimes the automated script is not used to add new names, sometimes blocked users need to be removed).
  • Monitor and coordinate NPP School
  • Patroller checks:
    • Provide help to new patrollers.
    • Warn patrollers when they are getting things wrong.
    • Report abuse of the NPR user right, to ANI and/or report them directly to admins.
    • Report abuse of the Autopatrolled user right,
  • Organise backlog drives where necessary, including monitoring of review quality and issuing awards.
  • Awarding barnstars and other appreciation annually, to active reviewers.
  • Maintain stats and/or coordinate with those who know how to quarry for them. ICPH's quarry profile has a number of useful NPR stats queries.
  • Watching requests at PERM and commenting if necessary.
  • Exchange feedback with other language Wikipedias.
  • Maintain relations with the WMF and Phabricator.
  • Start and/or moderate potential RfC on major issues and suggested policy changes
  • Attend meetups, Wikimania, and other conferences whenever possible, to discuss the project.
  • Organising polls and NPP surveys
  • Organising coordinator elections (if required).

And if you think this is a lot of work, ask Kudpung who did it practically single handed for nearly 7 years (emeritus coordinator).

UW reviewer

Remember that page tagging can still be carried out by any user. Although they don't have access to the features of New Pages Feed, even IP users can tag pages. Tagged pages remain listed in the feed until marked as 'patrolled' by a New Page Reviewer who is able to identify and isolate poor patrolling.

Generally, level #1 is friendly enough and the effort is to be supportive rather than assertive. In persistent cases however, it will be necessary to escalate through the warning levels. At Level 4, a block is usually appropriate at the very next tagging. Preferably notify an admin. Only post a case at ANI if no admin is available to stop a disruptive spree.

For tagging too fast when CSD-A1 or CSD-A3 have been tagged within less than about 10 minutes:

  • {{Uw-hasty}} Copy and paste: {{subst:Uw-hasty}}

Declining a CSD Speedy Deletion:

  • {{Uw-csd}} Copy and paste: {{subst:Uw-csd}}

Outreach and invitations

New Page Patrol needs more reviewers. Please invite users that you have noticed have a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines (or users on this list after you screen them) by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page. This template looks like this:

New Page Reviewing

Hello, New pages patrol.

I've seen you editing recently and you seem like an experienced Wikipedia editor.

Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. User:Novem Linguae (talk) 20:25, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
