Edit Requests Dashboard is a tool which allows users to view outstanding edit requests in a more user-friendly manner than traditional Wiki methods. The tool automatically generates statuses for each request on-the-fly to help the reviewer understand the current situation at a glance.

Access the tool

The tool was born following a desire within WikiProject Edit Requests to have AnomieBOT show the status of the request following it being set by a reviewer. Unfortunately I'm not great with templates and bot programming, but I'm alright at web dev so I made this! I ended up using it day-to-day so decided to release it on Toolforge for other editors to use as well!

How to use

[edit]

Visit https://edit-requests.toolforge.org, and select the relevant option.

Viewing outstanding edit requests

[edit]
  1. Click "Review existing Requests"
  2. Select the request type
  3. Click on the request to view it.

Add the query parameter 'run=type' to auto-run the requested type. For example https://edit-requests.toolforge.org/review/?run=coiwill automatically load COI requests without you having to click the button.

Requesting a new edit

[edit]
  1. Click "Create a new Request"
  2. Click the reason you'd like to request an edit.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
