Hi, I see you still have edit filter manager rights, as granted to you as WMF staff by @ Jalexander-WMF: mid June and amended by @ Xaosflux: at the start of July. As phab:T29987 was marked as resolved in mid August, and the rights were granted on the basis of "ENWP only and only until no longer needed to resolve the task", is this an oversight or do you still need these rights?

I noticed Usernamekiran's where, in the edit summary, he makes the point that "this is not a competition. The stats are for the purpose of analysis, not for finding the topper." It's a point I'd have to agree with. After a certain point my ability to patrol accurately starts to diminish, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
It might be less incitement to competitiveness if the title were more anodyne than "Top new article reviewers", perhaps "New article review activity" or some other wording. Just my 2¢.
It's a blinding improvement on the previous report. Thanks for producing it. Cabayi ( talk) 11:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Greetings. Many users read and edit Wikipedia via mobile these days. While reading experience using the mobile interface is satisfactory, editing is not. One of the reasons is that the mobile version doesn't have any kind of revert option (aka Undo feature). This causes problems for many vandal fighters as well as normal editors who can't use computer due to some circumstances (while traveling, being out of the town etc). Also some of us prefer smartphones. We sought for undo feature in mobile. Some of us even went ahead and created phabricator tasks. For example, phab:T87609, and phab:T191706. But nothing has changed. An editor created this script which adds undo button on mobile website. I've proposed to make this script a gadget on English Wikipedia at WP:VPT#Undo_script and I've explained all of it's features there. But seeing none of the wikis has undo feature, I thought of nominating it to make it global gadget and asked for advice on [1]. One of the WikiMedia staffs advised me to create a phabricator task to make it a part of Mediawiki software as gadgets don't work on mobile devices. I didn't create a phabricator task because I thought it would be a duplicate of existing task so instead I commented on a open task. If we can't make it a part of the Mediawiki software, I think we can import this script to Mediawiki:mobile.js or Mediawiki:minerva.js to execute this script locally. My purpose for reaching out to you today is because you work as a software engineer for WikiMedia foundation. I hope you will respond to this message positively. Sincerely, Masum Reza 📞 on behalf of all mobile users. 14:51, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
gadgets aren't loaded on mobile anyway- do you know if there is a ticket open to enable this (perhaps a required additional option like [MobileLoad=true] in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition)? I'd much rather see this then projects shoehorning in code in to MediaWiki:mobile.js. — xaosflux Talk 12:34, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi MusikAnimal, I saw that you're part of the Community Tech team and wanted to ask if you could help me navigate some WMF and MediaWiki requirements. For the last few months I've been trying to improve En Wikipedia's coverage of chess articles by trying to implement a way for readers to interactively browse a chess game (similar to the Hebrew Wikipedia). Following this RfC and this interface admin noticeboard discussion, it became clear that a gadget wasn't likely to find consensus for deployment and I started converting kipod's gadget into an extension at mw:Extension:ChessBrowser. It's getting close to a stable version, so I started a tracking task for deployment at phab:T244075. James quickly told me that as a non-WMF sponsored project, "it's exceedingly unlikely that the above steps will happen", and suggested I get in touch with the Community Tech team. So long story short, could you help me figure out how to get a WMF sponsor for this project? Are there other hurdles I'm likely to run into or due diligence I need to do still? Thanks for your help! — Wug· a·po·des 22:31, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

tags (see the logic in
ChessBrowserHooks.php, specifically onOutputPageParserOutput
). So the extension allows improvement to this small set of pages without reader-facing performance implications unlike the gadget implementation. This was my understanding of
xaosflux's concerns and suggestions in the noticeboard discussion. It's okay if the community tech team can't sponsor this (I'm not even really sure what sponsorship entails), but asking around and gathering information alone would be very helpful. Getting a public working example running in conjunction with the village pump discussion I mentioned should also help the WMF gauge community interest and perhaps make the project known to teams who could/would be able to sponsor it. And thank you for the compliment on the code! Much of that is from the helpful feedback of
DannyS712 during code review. —

Loading the JS on inapplicable pages was my main concern, and as you say that won't be an issue. There were a number of voices supporting an extension, so perhaps we don't need further consensus on that. But, a summary of past community discussions on the Phab task would still be helpful. As I said I'll comment there shortly, and we'll try to iron out the next steps. Best, MusikAnimal (WMF) ( talk) 02:32, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
I'm glad you're OK with this as a 10% project! I should forewarn you the whole process of getting this to production will take some time, perhaps a few months. This is mostly due to how busy the other teams are. The same is true for WMF-built extensions; it always takes a long time! ChessBrowser seems like a smaller and lower-risk project, so I'm hoping it won't be as bad. MusikAnimal (WMF) ( talk) 20:18, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
there is a sponsoring team and/or manager willing to accept at least a medium risk for deployment of this extension. Hopefully this is something Community Tech can still help out with; it tied for 10th in its category in the most recent community wishlist survey so any help would go a long way in improving the reader experience on multiple wikis. — Wug· a·po·des 20:56, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I just wanted to suggest adding a section to the bottom for all time top reviewers. Currently it goes up to top reviewers in the last 365 days.

Hi, I noticed a problem over at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases/Popular pages. The page Marbury v. Madison has stopped showing up on the report, despite still being a page within the WikiProject and still having a high number of pageviews. Any chance you could investigate?

Hello.
This report, Wikipedia:Database reports/Top new article reviewers, shows the number of reviews performed. The backlog of unreviewed articles is quite high (some have said NPP is in crisis or collapsing). The backlog that we care about most is mainspace articles (non-redirects). This report includes the number of "reviews" which includes articles and redirects. Is there any way to have two numbers reported instead of the total? We report the backlog by counting only articles ( Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog chart), so seeing the number of articles reviewed would help.
For each time period (day, week, month, quarter, year), the report shows the top 100 reviewers. Could it also add two more lines, one to show the number of reviews by done by everyone beyond #100, and a line to show the total reviews in the period by all reviewers. This would provide a much clearer view of the situation.
Thanks, MB 05:34, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

, etc., but at least for this database report, that means scanning every revision on every page reviewed by every reviewer. It probably can be done, but it would be very slow… Anyways, as you can see, out of the 452 reviews done by DannyS712 bot III in the past 24 hours (as of the time of writing), only 2 have since become articles. So I think the redirect/article breakdown is still useful, but it's certainly not exact. I hope this suffices for now.The totals are exactly what I wanted. The only thing that looks a little funny is the sorting. If you sort by #Articles, the rank matches 1-100 or 100-1. If you sort by #Redirect, the rank does not, it is still the Total rank. If you sort on the Total column, that seems to be not sorting by the total number, but by the Username (but slightly differently that if you sort on Username directly).
