New pages

Yellow highlights indicate pages that have not yet been patrolled. Please consider patrolling pages from the back of the unpatrolled backlog. Other options: 1 hour • 1 day • 5 days • 10 days • 15 days.

Page Curation is a feature-rich purpose built system to review new pages. A user script for accessing the Page Curation tool is also available. Before patrolling pages for the first time, be sure to have read and fully understood the instructions at New Pages Patrol.

Please read Wikipedia:New pages patrol and keep the following in mind:

• Don't bite the newcomers: cleanup tagging within minutes of creation can discourage new users. Consider using Twinkle to welcome newcomers, and placing {{uw-draftfirst}} on their talk page if a first effort needs deleting;
• Articles should not be tagged for speedy deletion as having no context (CSD A1) or no content (CSD A3) moments after creation, as not all users will have added full content in their first revision;
• Attack pages (CSD G10) must be blanked;
• Unsourced biographies of living people can be proposed for deletion using the "sticky prod" process. Twinkle is recommended for this, or see template:prod blp for manual tagging instructions;
• Please consider checking new pages for copyright violations. One can copy and paste one or more segments of unique text from the article into a search engine in quotation marks. For pages with a single online reference or external link, compare the content to the external site and look for copy/pastes and close paraphrasing. Blatant violations can be tagged for speedy deletion under CSD G12. Otherwise, see {{copyvio}}.
• New files do not appear here (only pages created without a corresponding local file). You can see and patrol new files at Special:NewFiles.
• A preference option that hides patrolled new pages by default is available at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc. An alternative script is available for the same.
