Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

redirect in R. Stevie Moore navbox

I'm perfectly aware of that, I used the redirect to make sure we get a more realistic picture for the analysis in Talk:Bob Moore (executive)#Requested move 13 February 2024. --Joy (talk) 15:03, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure anyone navigating from {{R. Stevie Moore}} will be looking for his father, not the food executive. Besides, any analysis will be completely skewed now by the very existence of the RM. --woodensuperman 15:34, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's where the redirect goes, too, there's no change in functionality. --Joy (talk) 18:15, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear friend

Please take a good look at my edits. I'll be busy reading yours. -- Best Jamplevia (talk) 16:53, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A serious question

You will possibly delete this without answering, but was wondering if you've actually created any navboxes. You dislike so much about them that other editors like, but you put a lot of attention on them. Do you have any favorites that you've created, or keep watch on because they are your favorites? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've created loads. I like simple navboxes that are to the point. In fact I created {{Nancy Mitford}} just the other day. --woodensuperman 18:07, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't know you create them, thanks. The Mitford navbox could use a family section (much of her page is devoted to family). Randy Kryn (talk) 23:40, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not, but there could be a separate {{Mitford family}} navbox to match the corresponding article. --woodensuperman 08:37, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Woodensuperman,

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:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Since you recommended deleting these article...
