January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Hello. On April 24, you declined this draft at AfC. However, it was unilaterally moved by MinecraftyGamerz a day later, ignoring/overriding your verdict. I have no idea if AfC decisions are binding, so I'll leave it to you to decide what to do. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:58, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[]

Heya, thanks for letting me know. Generally there's nothing prohibiting someone from moving a declined AfC draft to mainspace, since AfC is an optional process. I don't feel like wringing this through AfD, but I did put the notability tag on it in case you or anyone else is interested. I doubt it meets notability.

@InfiniteNexus: actually, upon a closer look, I'm concerned about sockpuppetry by MinecraftyGamerz here. Looking at their edits compared to the blocked TAs (of which I think ~2026-14166-93 was blocked first, followed by several other TAs for evasion) makes me think this pagemove is a little less innocent than I first presumed. I might take this to SPI. StartOkayStop (talk) 19:41, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[]
Good luck. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:52, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[]

Welcome template for younger users?

[edit]

Hi, I noticed the welcome template you put on User talk:Monathephantom, and it seemed like it was geared specifically towards younger editors. I can't seem to find it myself; is that a custom template? I've been encountering several younger users lately, and it would be helpful if I could use that template. Thanks!

It's Template:Welcome young. It's not a Twinkle template (maybe it should be), I found it while I was browsing Category:Welcome templates. StartOkayStop (talk) 02:01, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[]
Ah, thank you! In solidarity, 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (They/them • Ping me!) 03:34, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[]
