About Page Curation

Curating new pages is a hard job, but an important one. Page Curation tries to make it easier.

The first tool you will encounter is the New Pages Feed. It was designed as an alternative to Special:NewPages, with the help of the Wikipedia editor community.

The first time you load it, you will be presented with a list of reviewed and unreviewed pages, with the newest page shown first. This list can easily be filtered or sorted to only show unreviewed pages, for example, or only show pages created by new users.

To filter the list, select the "set filters" button at the top left of the feed. Select whichever combination you want, hit "set filters", and the feed will automatically reload to only show the pages you have asked for. These settings are saved between curating sessions and refreshes of the feed.

The feed also provides useful information about each listed article. For example, tags like "no categories" or "orphan" let you learn more about an article before you open it. This means you can aim more accurately at the sort of articles you want to review, and can highlight potential problem articles from the list.

Once you've found one that you're interested in, click the "review" button to open it in a new tab and get to work using the Curation Toolbar.
