Usage:{{subst:The New Page Patroller's Barnstar|1=Put your message here. ~~~~}} | The New Page Patrollers' Barnstar and Reviewers' Awards
The New Page Patroller's/Reviewer's Barnstars may be awarded to users who do great work patrolling new pages. This may be improving, tagging for deletion, tagging for issues etc., but don't dilute the spirit of the barnstar system by handing them out indiscriminately. Reviewer barnstars are only awarded when specific conditions are reached.
|
14 February 2017
Meatsgains gets Bronze Barnstar (1,338 Page Curation reviews).
New Page Review Coordinators
NPR is a complex process. It now needs two coordinators. Elections will periodically be held. Candidates must be holders of the 'Patroller' (New Page Reviewer) right. Voting is open to any confirmed registered user. Ideally at least one coordinator should be an administrator because it is often necessary to issue blocks and page protections, and/or view deleted material.
Candidates can be nominated by others or nominate themselves here.
Coordinator tasks
New Page Reviewing now needs coordinating by a designated team. The New Page Reviewer coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining the internal structure and processes of New Page Review. They coordinate activities, maintain our pages, and organize drives and conferring of all awards other than the standard barnstar. They organise elections for coordinators.They have no authority over article content or editor conduct and have no special powers conferred by their coordinaror or patrolling/reviewng activities. In particular they:
- Watch over all the pages connected with New Page Patrolling and reviewing (see page-top nav bar)
- Monitor the page at Page Curation, to provide help with reporting bugs to Phab. Liaise with devs and/or WMF staff.
- Monitor the page at Page Curation/Suggested improvements
- Monitor (but do not clerk) the page at Requests for permissions/New page reviewer to ensure that the newly created reviewers have been notified, and that the Newsletter mailing list is maintained (sometimes the automated script is not used to add new names, sometimes blocked users need to be removed).
- Answer questions at any of the talk pages.
- Provide help to new patrollers, monitor and coordinate the NPP School, or co-opt additional users to serve this task
- Warn patrollers that they are getting things wrong.
- Report issues to ANI and/or report them directly to admins.
- Act as editorial board for a quarterly (or any other period) newsletter or co-opt additional users to serve this task.
- Maintain stats and/or coordinate with those who know how to quarry for them.
- Keep an eye on the development of ORES.
- Exchange feedback with other language Wikipedias.
- Attend meetups and Wikimania whenever possible, to discuss the project.
- Be prepared to conduct and participate on Skype conferences on the topic.
And if you think this is a lot of work, ask Kudpung who has been doing it practically single handed for nearly 6 years.
- Elections
NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2017 ELECTION ARE NOW OPEN
Coordinators are elected by a simple approval vote of the membership, which will be held every twelve months or a period determined before each election. Any New Page Reviewer in good standing may nominate himself or herself, or may nominate another New Page Reviewer. Elected coordinators may serve as many times as they wish, subject to community approval. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes becomes the lead coordinator, who bears overall responsibility for coordinating the project. The other coordinator(s) advise(s) and assist the lead coordinator, and focus on any specific areas that require attention.
If the project has more work than the current coordinators can handle, and no election is imminent, the coordinators may co-opt additional users to serve as coordinators until the next election.
Occasionally, a motion to appoint a former lead coordinator as a coordinator emeritus is made for endorsement during an election. The objective is that the project may continue to benefit from their help and experience. The position has no special responsibilities and is held for as long as any coordinator emeritus wishes.

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 Reviewers who is able to identify and isolate poor patrolling.
Generally, Stop #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.

Hello New pages patrol, ![]()
![]() If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help by improving or commenting on our entry at New pages Feed/Page Curation. Sent to all New Page Reviewers. Discuss this newsletter here.
