Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CAT:NN

Hell, CAT:NN now has a backlog of almost 12 years. If anyone can help, please do so. There are usually around 300 articles in there that are web-related: [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Web_articles_with_topics_of_unclear_notability] and we are desperate for knowledgeable and interested people to look them over. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 14:50, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look through a bunch today / later this week. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:34, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that would be great. Boleyn (talk) 15:01, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please make full use of Template:Decrease for websites' Alexa rank

Greetings!

Alas I don't have time to personally join your worthy project, but I still wanted to give you a small heads-up since it seems within the scope of your project:

Template:Decrease, which produces these nice red & green arrow-thingys indicating a rank change ( & ), actually also has options for negative increase {{IncreaseNegative}} and positive decrease {{DecreasePositive}}.

These should be used whenever there is a ranking in which - like e.g. in sports - 1st place is best, and higher numbers worse.

This is used as intended in a number of Wikipedia articles, but notably not in the vast majority of websites which have an Alexa rank. But Alexa ranks are like that - the lower, the better!

So to avoid confusion for the reader, I strongly suggest to henceforth use the proper pointing arrow on all Alexa rankings (and also on all other applicable rankings).

I tried to update a few articles to use this by hand, but I could not find a way to correct all instances automatically. If there is one, I'd love to know how to use it. --LordPeterII (talk) 18:35, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
