Thread:Talk:New Page Patrol Zoom Interface/Can we apply a similar anti-vandalism approach to NPP?/reply (12)

WSC, I don't  know anything  much at  all  about  filters   and how they  work,  but   as they  obviously  function on a vast  catalogue  of keywords, perhaps, if I've understood the ideas you  explained to  me, they  could indeed be used to red-flag  certain  new pages at  the moment  of creation (most  especially particularly  A1, A2, A3, A10, G1, G2, G3, G4, G10  and if CorenBot is someday  up and running  again, G12 (Copyvio), and effect some automated functions  such  as, just  for example:
 * Deactivate them from  live mainspace and put  them  in  a holding  bay
 * Prevent them being  indexed by  Google
 * Add them to  a category: Pages awaiting  admin  approval
 * Signal an alert  to  the admin  dashboard
 * Leave a message on the creator's talk  page something  like:
 * Welcome to Wikipedia. The page you  just  created may  not  be suitable for immediate inclusion  in  the encyclopedia and has been temporarily  put on  hold. Please contact  an administrator from  this list, who  will  review your article in  a few moments. Thank  you.

Nevertheless,  in  the absence of the ACTRIAL  solution, it  may  be worth  considering channelling  all new pages from non  autoconfirmed to  a much  improved Article Wizard, Articles for Creation, or a user sub page/sandbox (with  a link  to  the Video tutorial on creating a user page sandbox, on opening  an edit  window.  from  a start  page on the lines of  Article creation workflow.

Anticipated questions:
 * Q: Why can't a new Page Patroller do  the   review of the bot/filter flagged pages?
 * A: Because empirical findings have demonstrated that  many  patrollers lack  basic understanding  of the new page patrol process,  their tagging  is not accurate,  and they  often pass attack  pages as patrolled (or tag them  with  a less  urgent  criterion).


 * Q: Why should an admin  review the page?
 * A: Because admins can  immediately  delete such  pages without  further ado if need be.


 * Q: Isn't this the same as, or similar to, Pending  Changes or vandalism  patrol?
 * A: No. It  only  affects certain  new pages, and those created by  non-autoconfirmed users.
