--Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:00, 25 March 2019 (UTC) via MassMessaging (Please excuse this post if it is a duplicate!) NPP Newsletter User ListI am currently doing a newsletter for a rather small project. Right now I am manually updating a target list each month which is no big deal but also something I wouldn't mind seeing automated. How do you do the targets for the NPP newsletter?

@Insertcleverphrasehere, I would like to find out more about the New Page Patroller training program. Thank you for your help, please comment on my talk page if you can help. Boisteroushamster (talk)

New Page patrolHi greetings, I would like to participate in New page patrolling. I approached you a few months ago and you conducted a test for me. You said I had better approach you after a few months. Now I am willing to do it. Please help, if you like. Regards.--PATH SLOPU (TALK) 08:12, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – April 2019News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2019).
Can I ask a favour. I agreed to patrol/review the above. Having done so, and the editor having taking on board some suggestions, it's absolutely fine. But I have apparently marked the article's Talkpage as patrolled, rather than the article itself. I've no idea how I did that, and no more idea how to properly mark up the article as patrolled. Any advice would be much appreciated. KJP1 (talk) 14:05, 25 April 2019 (UTC) Wishlist Implementation ProcessThe information at this discussion might be old news for you but if not, FYI.

--Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:17, 27 April 2019 (UTC) via MassMessaging Growth team updates #7Welcome to the seventh newsletter from the Growth team! The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects. Newcomer homepage release this week Like the other Growth team features, this will be deployed in a controlled experiment, in which half of newcomers will have access to their homepage and half will not. Users with the feature will be able to access it by clicking their username at the top of their browser, and it will only be available on desktop -- not mobile. Experienced users who want to see their homepage will be able to turn it on in their preferences. Wikis receiving the newcomer homepage can expect these things:
 Recent and future homepage developmentThe most important piece developed for the homepage over the last month is the "start module", which gives newcomers clear actions to take when they are new: add/confirm their email, go through a tutorial, start their user page. We learned about the need for this module from user tests last month. The next priorities for the newcomer homepage are:

Administrators' newsletter – May 2019News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
{{sources exist}} - add talk page link?Afternoon :) Whenever I use {{sources exist}}, I find myself wishing that there was an option to include a link to some more specific comments on the talk page. Usually when one uses that template, there will be at least some search results that can be shared; sometimes it's even more specific, e.g. a couple individual sources that contain lots of material. A clear pointer to this info is certainly helpful. To my understanding, providing a link option need not translate into making the link mandatory (at least that how it seems to work in other templates). What do you think? --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:19, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Call for submissions for the Community Growth space at Wikimania 2019Welcome to a special newsletter from the Growth team! This special newsletter is not about Wikimedia Foundation Growth team projects. Instead, it is a call for submissions for the Community Growth space at Wikimania 2019. We think that many people who receive this newsletter may have something valuable to contribute to this space at Wikimania. We haven't translated the newsletter, because Wikimania's language is English. Please see below for the message from the organizers of the Community Growth space at Wikimania. --- Wikimania 2019 is organized into 19 “spaces”, which are all accepting proposals for sessions. This message comes from the team organizing the Community Growth space. Since you are interested b Growth team projects, and potentially involved in welcoming newcomers initiatives on your wiki, we would like to invite you to submit a proposal to the Community Growth space because of the actions you’ve done around newcomers on wikis. The deadline for submission is June 1. See below for Community Growth submission topics and session formats. Topics and sessions have to be in English. In the Community Growth space, we will come together for discussions, presentations, and workshops that address these questions:
Recommended topics: please see this link for the list for the list of recommended topics. If you do not plan to submit a proposal, you can also suggest additional topics here. If your topic does not fit into our space, remember that there are 18 other spaces that could welcome you sharing your knowledge and perspective. Types of session. We prefer sessions that are participatory, interactive, promote conversations, and give a voice to parts of our movement that are heard less often. Please see this link for the list of recommended session formats. Poster submissions. Posters are also a good way to introduce a topic, or show some results of an action. Please consider submitting one! More information about the Community Growth space, topics, and submission formats is available on the proposal page. Please submit your proposal. The reviews will happen at the beginning of June. If you have questions about Wikimania in general, please ask them on the Wikimania wiki. On behalf of the Community Growth leadership team, Trizek (WMF), 11:44, 16 May 2019 (UTC) NPR Newsletter No.18 Hello Insertcleverphrasehere,
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

--Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2019 (UTC) via MassMessaging New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019Hello Insertcleverphrasehere,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages. Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:38, 30 June 2019 (UTC) Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 7News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (June 2019). Hello everyone and welcome to the 7th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:
The June 2019 Signpost is out!
Hope everything is OKYou went out with a flourish in December but you've hardly been around at all this year. I guess this may be something to do with your relocation, but I certainly realise now how much I miss you being around at NPR and the actual vast amount of work you put into organising it. I think we need you back. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:28, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
