This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Spider vision article
Hi I've been working on an article on spider vision since I noticed that we didn't have one. I'd appreciate any help improving it! The draft can be found here. I've submitted it for review but there's still a lot that needs improvement, especially the lead and evolution sections. ThatSpiderByte (talk) 19:01, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- @ThatSpiderByte: nice work! Peter coxhead (talk) 08:25, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- those kind of spiders have a very special vision. 3 to 6 times more visual field Tachito420 (talk) 05:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Liphistiidae and Heptathelidae
The World Spider Catalog now recognizes Heptathelidae as distinct from Liphistiidae. I've made a quick stub at Heptathelidae. I've also revised the opening of Liphistiidae, but it needs a lot of work, because much of the material now belongs in Heptathelidae. I don't have much time at present, so I hope there's someone else who can work on this. Peter coxhead (talk) 15:50, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
Grammostola porteri no longer a separate species
The World Spider Catalog revised Grammostola porteri as a junior synonym of Grammostola rosea in 2022. I've updated the latter's page to reflect this, but I'm not sure how to proceed with the former's, deletion and redirect? Benjappel (talk) 16:44, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Benjappel: there was no useful referenced material at this version of Grammostola porteri so just converting to a redirect seems correct to me, and is what I have done. Peter coxhead (talk) 18:09, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
