1. Page curation tool: 'No problems'

Done
Tracked in Phabricator
Task T147220
Resolved

This request has not been resolved as of 15 June 2017.

In the "Page info" section of the toolbar, there is a subheading "Possible issues" which contains the text No problems have been found for this page so far. if there are no maintenance templates currently on the page. This is misleading and has no apparent function. Either list the problems that have already been automatically identified and listed on the New Page Feed, or just remove from the Page Curation flyout entirely. Originally brought up by Kudpung Augist 2012. Some talk, not done.--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:59, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

I've edited the first sentence in your explanation for clarity, to explain where the confusing message is found and what it does. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
@Quiddity (WMF) and Kaldari: still not done although listed at Phab. Perhaps they don't undersand what is required.--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:40, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
The request is easy to understand. Kaldari (talk) 22:41, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
This has been completed and will be deployed on June 20 — MusikAnimal talk 03:01, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

3. Feed symbols

 Done

Pages tagged for deletion by PROD, BLPPROD, CSD, or AfC, and pages taged for COPYVIO and NOTENGLISH, sgould be shown with the dustbin (AE: trash can) icon, and not the green 'checked' icon. It should be obvious that this would enable admins who are patrolling the quality of the patrollers themselves rather than new pages, can either immediately delete hose pages, or - just as importantly - revert any tags that have been inappropriately or erroneously applied, and then use the 'unreview button' which should then send the 'unreviewed' message automatically to the patroller, using a dropdown list of canned reasons.

  • Support - This is very important. In fact, there should also be an indication of the type of deletion nomination (rather than a generic trash can) and the user name of the patroller who tagged it as such. I will propose this separately.- MrX 13:08, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment - I have come to feel that placing an AfD control in the NPP system is counterproductive. If a page is totally inappropriate for Wikipedia, it should be tagged for speedy deletion and kicked straight over to an admin to think about. If it's debatable, we should tell people to message the creator saying that they think the page has problems before they do anything, or draftify it. That could help avoid debacles like some dumb deletion listings I made when I was starting to do NPP, or more recently this one where the page creator just hadn't finished writing the article when it was sent to AfD. (Obviously the flip side to that is that there would probably be more CSD nominations, but they'd get rescinded immediately if inappropriate rather than becoming a deletion discussion that drags out for weeks.)
