View source for Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Addictions and recovery

==Mental health==
I know this project's name doesn't include mental health, but its generally agreed that a huge number of those with addiction and recovery issues have a co-occurring disorder, thus the two are always co-addressed. thus, so should this projects focus be co-addressed, to mirror best practices, as most of the articles focused on 1 area will touch on the other.[[User:Mercurywoodrose|Mercurywoodrose]] ([[User talk:Mercurywoodrose|talk]]) 05:59, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

==Self-Identifying as having a mental health issue==

===Template:User warning-mentalhealth===
{{User warning-mentalhealth}}
I think this template, [[Template:User warning-mentalhealth]] is misrepresentative of MI's affect on work, and i dont like how it assumes that people living with MI are going to be less productive. I know its only placed on a users own page, but its still weird. anyone else think it should be deleted?[[User:Mercurywoodrose|Mercurywoodrose]] ([[User talk:Mercurywoodrose|talk]]) 05:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

===Category:People self-identifying as...===
The following categories, [[:Category:People self-identifying as alcoholics]], and [[:Category:People self-identifying as substance abusers]], were deleted last month. I understand the reasoning around BLP, but i disagree. I dont know if this can be discussed in a deletion review, as the deletion process seems to have been followed properly. I created [[:Category:People self-identifying as problem gamblers]], which i suppose should also be deleted. should we then delete categories for people with bipolar disorder, or depression, for the same BLP reasons?

==WikiProject X==
=== Comment on the WikiProject X proposal ===

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please '''[[meta:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X|review the proposal here]]''' and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my [[User talk:Harej|talk page]]. Thank you for your time! <small>(Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.)</small> [[User:Harej|Harej]] ([[User talk:Harej|talk]]) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

=== WikiProject X is live! ===

[[File:WikiProject X icon.svg|100px|right|link=Wikipedia:WikiProject X]]

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X|WikiProject X]]''' is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X|check us out]]! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

'''Note:''' To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter]]. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

== Inclusion of [[Courage International]], [[Homosexuals Anonymous]] and [[LDS Family Services]] ==

All three of these organizations credit the twelve-step approach as part of their program. Should they be included in this project? - [[User:Scarpy|Scarpy]] ([[User talk:Scarpy|talk]]) 22:59, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
:Potentially [[LDS Family Services]]. I'm not seeing how the other two relate to addictions and recovery. As far as I know, homosexuality isn't considered an addiction by any reputable medical or governmental body. [[User:Sizeofint|Sizeofint]] ([[User talk:Sizeofint|talk]]) 01:44, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
::I agree with {{u|Sizeofint}}. Yes, Mormons, no to the other two. [[User:Permstrump|<span style="color:indigo;">—'''PermStrump'''</span>]][[User Talk:Permstrump|<span style="color:steelblue;">(<u>talk</u>)</span>]] 01:56, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>Only if the Mormon one is a 12-step program for drugs and alcohol, not if it's conversion therapy, which, now that I'm reading about the other 2 organizations, I'm now reading the use that for gay people too.[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/conversion-therapy-to-turn-gay-people-straight-demonizes-homosexuality-and-should-be-banned-say-a7049006.html] [[User:Permstrump|<span style="color:indigo;">—'''PermStrump'''</span>]][[User Talk:Permstrump|<span style="color:steelblue;">(<u>talk</u>)</span>]] 05:16, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
::::I would encourage a narrow scope of pages tagged for a WikiProject. There are [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Addictions and recovery#Top-importance articles to improve|plenty of articles]] within our purview that need improvement. However, if they're using the 12 steps for conversion therapy, they should certainly be mentioned in [[List of twelve-step groups]] [[User:Sondra.kinsey|Sondra.kinsey]] ([[User talk:Sondra.kinsey|talk]]) 16:52, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

== Popular pages report ==

We – [[m:Community Tech|Community Tech]] – are happy to announce that the [[m:Community Tech/Popular pages bot|Popular pages bot]] is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, {{no ping|Community Tech bot}} will post at [[{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}/Popular pages]] with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of {{ROOTPAGENAME:{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}}}.
 
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
* The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
* The report will include a link to the [https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/ pageviews tool] for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
* The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).

We're grateful to {{no ping|Mr.Z-man}} for his original {{no ping|Mr.Z-bot}}, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of {{ROOTPAGENAME:{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}}}, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at [[m:User talk:Community Tech bot]].

This month: '''A general update.'''

{{-}}

The current status of the project is as follows:
* Progress of the project has been generally delayed since September due to development issues (more bitrot than expected, some of the code just being genuinely confusing, etc) and personal injury (I suffered a concussion in October and was out of commission for almost two months as a result).
* I currently expect to be putting out a proper call for CollaborationKit pilots in January/February, with estimated deployment in February/March if things don't go horribly wrong (they will, though, don't worry). As a part of that, I will properly update [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots|the page]] and send out announcement and reach out to all projects [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots#Sign-up_list|already signed up as pilots]] for WikiProject X in general, at which point those (still) interested can volunteer specifically to test the [[mw:extension:CollaborationKit|CollaborationKit extension]].
** [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots]] was originally created for the first WikiProject X prototype, and given this is where the project has since gone, it's only logical to continue to use it. While I haven't yet updated the page to properly reflect this:
** If you want to add your project to this page now, feel free. Just bear in mind that more information what to actually expect will be added later/included in the announcement, because by then I will have a much better idea myself. 
* Until then, you can find me in my corner working on making the CollaborationKit code do what we want and not just what we told it, per [[phab:tag/mediawiki-extensions-collaborationkit/|the workboard]].

Until next time,

== A new newsletter directory is out! ==

A new '''[[Template:Newsletters|Newsletter directory]]''' has been created to replace the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:List_of_newsletters&oldid=891896284 old, out-of-date one]. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like [https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page WikiSpecies]), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the [[Template talk:Newsletters|template's talk page]] and someone will add it for you.

== Request for information on WP1.0 web tool ==

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the [[User:WP_1.0_bot|WP 1.0 Bot]]! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the [[:toolforge:enwp10/cgi-bin/pindex.fcgi|web tool]] that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScK30kJtKQ3cp-QLY1VJhB94HP2q6437Cdk3E2rVRYHowcL4A/viewform?usp=sf_link this Google form] where you can leave your response.

== User script to detect unreliable sources ==

{{Main|User:Headbomb/unreliable}}
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to [[WP:URS|unreliable sources]] and [[predatory journal]]s. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Most imported scripts|39th most imported script on Wikipedia]]. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14. (<code><nowiki>John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.</nowiki></code>)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "{{highlight|[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]|pink}}" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{tl|cite web}}, {{tl|cite journal}} and {{tl|doi}}.

The script is mostly based on [[WP:RSPSOURCES]], [[WP:NPPSG]] and [[WP:CITEWATCH]] and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is '''not a script to be mindlessly used''', and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at [[User:Headbomb/unreliable]]. Questions, comments and requests can be made at [[User talk:Headbomb/unreliable]].
