In January–February 2023 we interviewed six English Wikipedia New Page Patrollers to learn more about new page patrolling. Interviews consisted of a small number of questions and then typically around 30 minutes of screen share where the participant patrolled new pages. Our primary goals with these interviews were to make sure that our team had a shared understanding of how new page patrolling works on the English Wikipedia, and to identify potential areas for improvement grounded in today’s patrolling practices. We’ve summarised our findings below. Thanks again to the interview participants for making the time to meet with us.
If you have thoughts, questions, additions, or corrections, please share them on the talk page!
