Hi Avicennasis,
I found several dozen double redirects in the Hebrew Wikisource. I can fix them manually, but I guess it might be a good idea to use your AvicBot to fix those issues automatically. What do you think?

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

Hello Avicennasis/MainArchive,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Is there a way to run AvicBot to locate categories tagged as underpopulated but shouldn't be? For example, I cleared out the current contents of Category:Categories with incorrect underpopulated category template but I've found categories (such as Category:21st-century Australian artists) that show it should be in this category but they aren't appearing in it. Thanks. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 04:13, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Is there a way to run AvicBot to locate categories tagged as underpopulated but shouldn't be? For example, I cleared out the current contents of Category:Categories with incorrect underpopulated category template but I've found categories (such as Category:21st-century Australian artists) that show it should be in this category but they aren't appearing in it. Thanks. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 04:13, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
