Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

I think I remember hearing somewhere that you are good with food-related articles. In that case, I came across a draft submission that you may be interested in: Draft:Columbus-style pizza. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:27, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

On 21 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Safe House Black History Museum, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that one of the buildings that house the Safe House Museum (pictured) was where Martin Luther King Jr. hid from the Ku Klux Klan on 21 March 1968, just weeks before he was assassinated? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Safe House Black History Museum. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Safe House Black History Museum), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Valereee, I noticed you on the list of active admins, and one who hasn't been involved in the relevant article; I have filed a bit of a mess of a report at ANEW and was wondering if you could take a look. There may simply be a need administrator action; I am very tired at this point and need to disengage, so I do not have the energy nor focus to try to put this together for ANI. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 03:58, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello Valereee,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

Would it be possible to rename the page Director of Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security to Directors of the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security or another appropriate page name? The page was originally created because I felt there were too many people listed under the "Agency executives" on the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security page. Would love to hear your feedback and thank you for all your assistance! JoeK2033 (talk) 05:52, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
