This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Rosguill (talk | contribs) at 21:14, 4 August 2023 (→‎Karnataka: Reply). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This page is for requesting access to the redirect autopatrol pseudoright. If you wish to discuss this list, its requirements, or NPP in general, please do so at the NPP discussion page.

Guidelines

The criteria for this pseudoright is an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects (usually more than 100).

Requests will generally be left open for at least 24 hours, although this is not a requirement. Administrators will consider endorsements and concerns from new page reviewers as part of their decision on whether to add a contributor to the list.

Extremely, extremely weak endorse since I am of the opinion that Le Bon Samaritain and A Huguenot could have been redirected to Parable of the Good Samaritan (as an RFOREIGN) and Huguenot respectively, rather than their present targeting to artworks.

Weak endorse due to the AUSTIN redirect. Silcox (talk) 17:35, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose based on the above-mentioned AUSTIN redirect and January 1st 2022 (disambiguation), with the second one being deleted as an uncontroversially unnecessary redirect. EggRoll97 (talk) 19:37, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@EggRoll97: For what it's worth, AUSTIN is the stylization I'm finding for the Post Malone album. It was also mentioned at the target at the time of creation. I understand if you still want to disagree with the redirect's creation, but I wanted to add context. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:39, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Hey man im josh: Thanks for the context. I still disagree, but that one I'm not as concerned about, as opposed to the unnecessary redirect, which was deleted only 3 days ago. EggRoll97 (talk) 00:38, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Totally fair to oppose, thanks for clarifying that your stance is unchanged. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:40, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per the January 1st 2022 (disambiguation) redirect. Thanks EggRoll97 for pointing it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silcox (talkcontribs)
I hadn't addressed that point earlier, but it does look like it was a redirect created in good faith based on the target being a dab at the time. Not trying to change your mind, just adding context for when the request does get reviewed. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:46, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that redirect is unproblematic. It's AUSTIN that might be a problem, which I'd probably send to RFD for a retarget discussion (I still might, will probably take a further look soon.) Skarmory (talk • contribs) 03:47, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect autopatrol admins via bot instead of via list?

We recently added all admins that didn't have autopatrol to the the list in this diff. For me, it is making the page load slow, adds a little bit of clutter, and may also end up being a chore to maintain as the list gets out of sync with new admins and former admins. I wonder if it might be better to just add a check to the bot (the bot can grab a list of all sysops via SQL) instead of manually adding admins to this list. Thoughts? cc DannyS712. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:15, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's easy for me to say someone else doing work is a good idea, but yes I think this is a good idea. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:19, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Barkeep49 @Novem Linguae @Hey man im josh No objections from me, but you'll need to get BAG approval if you want to always patrol redirects created by admins instead of just those on this list. Its been a while since I worked on the code for this but it should be fairly easy to add something to the handling of the list of users that get patrolled - I would probably use the API instead of SQL though. It'll be a while before I have time to do this though DannyS712 (talk) 12:20, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712. Okie dokie. To get the BAG process started, want me to file Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot III 73? –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:39, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to create that once we get a bit more participation in this discussion (this probably isn't the right place to have the discussion though - maybe Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers???) DannyS712 (talk) 17:58, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The admins in charge of this page and who can edit through the full protection have added every admin to the list already, and no one has reverted or challenged, so in my opinion consensus has been met. If you'd like to seek a stronger consensus though I have no objection. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:54, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I hope that I didn't close the discussion and jump the gun too quickly, but I did feel as though there was consensus. I wouldn't be upset or offended if someone felt the urge to reopen or restart the conversation that I started at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers#Add administrators to the redirect autopatrol list. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:43, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is a difference between "lets add all the admins" and "lets always patrol redirects by admins with no way of removing them from the list" - the former is easily revertible and a one-time thing, the latter isn't, which is why I thought there should be more discussion to make this a general thing the bot does DannyS712 (talk) 18:53, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As a note, 54 admins were on the list before the mass addition. Ideally though, yes, a bot would manage this task. The bot would be checking whether an admin has the autopatrol perm, so perhaps we could also use said bot to remove people on the list who obtain the autopatrol permission? This is all assuming someone is willing to put the time in create a bot to manage this. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, what I envision is Danny's existing redirect patrol bot (the bot that loads this page to see who is on the redirect autopatrol list before it proceeds to patrol redirects for people) also does an SQL query to see who all the enwiki sysops are, then merge the two data sets (SQL query of admins + the names on this page) together internally. So the idea is that we can take all admins off this page, keeping it smaller and less cluttered. This would not require a new bot that edits this page's wikicode. Hope that makes sense. –Novem Linguae (talk) 12:59, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that absolutely makes sense and would help if others are experiencing slow loads on the full list. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:34, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Since I'm already listed on this list, does that mean that I'm qualified for Autopatrolled?

If not, can I have an option to turn off reviewed/approved redirect notification by ‪DannyS712 bot III‬. Preferably that option should be turned off by default. Thanks. Hddty (talk) 04:05, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Hddty. Redirect autopatrol list (RAL) is a bit easier to get than autopatrolled. Over at WP:PERM/AP, they usually look for the creation of around 25 perfect articles (non-redirects) in the last year. By "perfect" I mean even little things like categories and defaultsort should be correct.

@DannyS712, I've just gotten a notification for a redirect I created, has been patrolled by your bot and I'm not on the whitelist. Do I have a right giving me redirect autopatrol or is it just a bug. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 04:24, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The bot marks certain types of redirects as patrolled as well as redirects created by those on the list. Hey man im josh (talk) 10:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Hey man im josh Which types of redirects? Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 10:51, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Per User:DannyS712 bot III: If here because a redirect that you created was patrolled by the bot, it is because either you are listed at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list so that all of the redirects you create are patrolled, or because, based on the page title and the target of the redirect, the redirect is assumed to be uncontroversial under specific rules discussed with new page reviewers. See /rules for a full explanation. Hey man im josh (talk) 10:57, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

xTools bug in redirect creation reports

I've reported an xTools bug T342448 that is currently impeding autopatrol request reviews, as xTools currently is omitting deleted redirects from pages created results. It's not an insurmountable bug, as the deleted pages can still be found by searching for "articles and redirects" instead of "Include only redirects", but if the bug can be fixed quickly I'd rather wait until it's been addressed before reviewing further requests. signed, Rosguill talk 16:20, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I was wondering why this backlog was getting bigger. Just now saw your message Rosguill. I'll see if I can find some time to look into that Phab you filed, T342448. Let me also try pinging @MusikAnimal, since this bug is causing us a 22 person backlog here. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:53, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Rosguill. FYI we found a workaround. While the first page is wrong, if you click on "Deleted (0)" at the top there, the page that loads after that click is correct. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:43, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you endorse, please say what you checked

@Silcox and EggRoll97: Hello everyone that endorsed above. Can you do me a favor, and if you endorse someone, please state in detail which of their stats you checked? If I get time to work on this backlog, I am likely to ignore any supports that don't mention something like "They have 257 redirects created and only 4 deleted. Of the 4 deleted, 2 of them were G7, and 2 were RFDs that closed as delete". The count of their total redirects created (so that we know they met the 100 suggested minimum), and a detailed check of their deleted redirects to make sure they don't misfire too often, is basically the criteria for receiving this pseudo-perm. Thank you for assisting us with this backlog. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:02, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Novem Linguae: I'm not sure if my newest endorsements are what you're looking for, but if not, let me know and I'll try to rephrase them. EggRoll97 (talk) 00:13, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Novem Linguae By default, I check every redirect listed in the "tools" link as generated by {{rauto}}. So, if I were to assess User:Example's bid for RAL, I would go
Example (t · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · redirects created · logs (block • rights • moves) · rfar · spi)
as look at every redirect that the "xtools" link lists. I don't really look elsewhere given that I already run a fairly detailed check. Silcox (talk) 06:54, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To add to the "257 redirects" parts of your comment, the convention here at WT:RAL is that a request for RAL rights would also include these statistics. For instance, Festucalex's bid above already states that they "have created 322 redirects with 0 deleted" as of their application. So I fail to see why the endorsements will have to repeat the number of redirects that a prospective candidate has created. Silcox (talk) 06:56, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just an FYI that the XTools link might be broken. See Rosguill's post above and phab:T342448. This is why Rosguill has stopped approving these for the moment... waiting for XTools to be fixed. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:46, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am aware of Rosguill's post above regarding XTools. Silcox (talk) 07:53, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
