January–February 2026 Backlog Drive|New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded forre-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating?Sign up here.

Template:ICE Trump term 2 sidebar

It's poorly named. I also forgot how to draftify templates, so feel free to do so yourself. But I was very happy to see you in the Renee Good editing space so if you're interested I think this could be a very useful sidebar I'd love your help improving, especially with how immigration-related actions are a focal point of the Trump administrations and have many controversies.Alexandraaaacs1989 (talk)14:00, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Good to hear from you, I'm not that familiar with Trump-based immigration topics but looks like you know what you're doing. As you've mentioned it atthe parent topic then there is just the template to add to the topics (which looks like you've been doing already). That and wait for anyone to complain about it, or criticise it. I'd wager it'd get kept if landed at TfD though. Regards,CNC (talk)15:34, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I left a trout atUser talk:Nehushtani after I felt like he contributed to a discussion in an unproductive way. Heresponded pretty combatively, so I was hoping you could take a look at the conversation since I don't want to take this to the administrator noticeboard, but I also don't think he's reallyengaging with what I'm saying which is why I want a third opinion. If you have the time, thank you!Alexandraaaacs1989 (talk)12:10, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Trouting an editor, because their !vote in PIA topic was deemed to be of low quality, is quite frankly an awful idea. They are entitled to their vote regardless of perceived quality; it's not an error, thus not trout worthy.

Personally I wouldn't concern yourself with these types of votes, the rationale might extend to other editors who also made that argument (as the editor states), but if there isn't sourcing to back it up it's not an argument that will be taken seriously by a closer. So you don't need to point that out in a discussion, any decent closer should be able to recognise it, unless it's becoming a dominant viewpoint which actually requires countering; ergo not everything needs countering.

I'd just apologise for trouting and move on, before an admin asks you why you thought it was a good idea to trout an editor over their vote in a PIA RM. The unwritten rule would benever to trout someone for their argument in a discussion, only for mistakes they make, simply because nothing good will ever come out of it. From a not-so uninvolved perspective, going to their talk page looks like you are trying to badger them into changing their opinion/vote, which really isn't necessary.

I think I'll wait before proposing an RM forWP:WHYWAIT, in order not to beWP:TROUTed.Boud (talk)11:21, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You joke about it, but I wrote that a few days ago and spent that long trying to figure out a title. WithWP:WAIT is taken,WP:Too soon to move andWP:Wait, don't move also came to mind. I still don't like the title at all is the irony. Remember that April 1 isn't too far away, that'd be a good time for people to !vote wait and the proposer not get trouted ;)CNC (talk)11:25, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your edit summary on the articleCraig Silvey about an "edit notice". How does one employ an edit notice? Thank you._signed,Kvinnen (talk)14:20, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit summary. I had forgotten to add this to my question, here it is. Thanks!_signed,Kvinnen (talk)14:21, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It's at the base nameTemplate:Editnotices/Page, so for Silvey the notice is atTemplate:Editnotices/Page/Craig Silvey. But as you will see they can only be edited by page movers, template editors, and admins. So your best bet is to make anedit request on the talk page for someone to add it when there is a need to create one, or use the talk page when one already exists but needs an addition. There isn't a request template for editnotice space that I know of, but{{Edit template-protected}} would work (which template editors and admins will check). Regards,CNC (talk)14:34, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Theoretically, I can make a template page like the one you made for Craig Silvey? Thanks!_signed,Kvinnen (talk)15:15, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CNC; that edit you made on Trump is supported by Onyx and that means that there are 2 of you supporting that edit; Space4Time is currently reverting which seems incorrect. As an option, it seems to you could change it back based on support from Onyx and open Talk page discussion at the Trump page where Space4Time can explain his thinking in reverting against 2-3 editors.ErnestKrause (talk)15:00, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I alreadyspoke to Space4Time3Continuum2x and explained to them the BRD restriction, but it seems that's been ignored. It was only the miss-citing that I was reverting as a sloppy edit per the edit summary; I wasn't opposing the content itself, nor do I endorse it. As I say on my userpage I otherwise can't be bothered with an edit war, so whatever issues others have with the content, that's been restored a second time now, will have to be dealt with by other editors. Thanks anyway,CNC (talk)15:14, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back on this. Since you are supporting Onyx, then I'll offer to support you if you take this to Talk page. That would make two more editors supporting your viewpoint.ErnestKrause (talk)15:22, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, I'm not supporting another editor.CNC (talk)15:24, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Phase 2 of theJanuary–February 2026 NPP drive. DuringPhase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

 –CNC (talk) 19:33, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in anedit war, according to the reverts you've made toRestore Britain. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected tocollaborate with others, avoid editingdisruptively, andtry to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

1. Edit warring isdisruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article'stalk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at anappropriate noticeboard or seekdispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate torequest temporary page protection.If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may beblocked from editing.~2025-42899-89 (talk)19:08, 14 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
