I haven't actually given much thought to the technicalities. Getting a new user group created is not easy at all. Many editors oppose based purely on bureaucracy-creep without even considering what is being proposed, while others support because they like collecting hats. Although I realise that redirects need to be patrolled because a lot of superfluous and nonsense redirects are indeed created, I don't believe that they are toxic in the way articles can be. There is something wrong with a significant number redirects - however justified the creation of a redirect may be, the creators often do not follow the guidelines at WP:R properly(if they even botther tomread them) or do not add the correct templates to them. Patrolling an article releases it to to be indexed and found in search engines, and I'm sure that plausible redirects need to be searchable too. However, my main personal concern is that redirects can be turned back into articles for a number of illicit purposes, but that's another story. So I'm sorry if I can't be of more help. Have you asked anyone else to review this RfC draft? I suggest getting some feedback from users such as Barkeep49, Insertcleverphrasehere, DGG, Ymblanter, MER-C, Scope creep, Elmidae, SD0001, Scottywong, Rosguill, Onel5969, PamD, and a couple of users who were major contributors to the Neelix discussions.

I am in favor of this generally. While Neelix was an unfortunate incident they already had true autopatrol so I'm not sure how this would make Neelix 2 more likely. Personally speaking I find redirects to be much less of a priority for patrolling than articles and so methods that can reduce the number of redirects that "must" be patrolled strikes me as a good thing.

I am critically aware of that, but there are nevertheless ways in which illicit conversions can be missed by patrollers. There is precisely a relevent discussion at WT:NPR right now.

I think the key problem is redirects turned into articles. We need some way of getting these included somewhere (actually, I think there's an edit filter for these, and if not, it would be easy to make one) . Otherwise, I'm not concerned about redirects. I think an additional processfor these would be unconstructive--it would take away from the concentration of effort we need to give new drafts and articles. We must keep from getting further behind for the partthat relaly matters, and every person switching to check redirects is one fewer to check articles.

Also in support of this, as I can't see any negatives. There are several NPPers who appear to spend a lot of time patrolling just the redirects - if anything, this will lift some load off them. While it's true that proposals like this tend to get opposed purely because of the bureaucracy-creep argument, I don't think that would be the case here as most of NPP (appears to be) in favour of this. I agree with Barkeep on the Neelix incident. We shouldn't hold off trusting hundreds of users just because one of them will ultimately break the trust.

Survey

  • Support I have made a habit of patrolling the back end of the backlog of newly created redirects on a daily basis. A majority of uncontroversial redirects are created by a small group of users, many of whom focus on a particular "genre" of redirect (e.g. redirects from songs to albums and artists, redirects from birth names to biographies). Autopatrolling these redirects and removing them from the queue would significantly reduce the amount of work needed to patrol the remaining redirects that actually have a chance of being controversial or inappropriate. signed, Rosguill talk 01:39, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-02T01:39:00.000Z","author":"Rosguill","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rosguill-2019-12-02T01:39:00.000Z-Survey","replies":[]}}-->

  • Support I have no problem with this in principle. However I think we should offer this pseudo-permission with minimal bureaucracy. Having requests for it at WT:NPP/R seems fine, or anywhere that's not WP:PERM. Ideally most additions to the "check page" will be suggested by new page reviewers, since they are the only ones effected. WP:PERM/A has proven enticing to hat-collectors, with requests commonly declined with "this right won't assist you as an editor". I think if redirect-autopatrol is too public-facing you'll see many such requests, especially given it has a lower bar. Finally, a bot of this nature needs to be ran automatically via cron, which I think the operator is capable of using now :) — MusikAnimal talk 02:01, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-02T02:01:00.000Z","author":"MusikAnimal","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-MusikAnimal-2019-12-02T02:01:00.000Z-Survey","replies":[]}}-->

  • Support, but I don't see why requirements for regular Autopatrolled couldn't be adjusted to include prolific creators of good redirects. I was given Autopatrolled status well before I'd created 25 articles; somebody else requested it on my behalf because I'd be creating many redirects that need patrolling. I'd guess I'd created a good 10,0000 redirects before I hit the 25 article mark (at which point I'd been Autopatrolled for about two years).

Discussion

  • Would this pseudo-group (automatically) include editors like myself – of course subject to discretion – who are new page reviewers but neither have nor need autopatrolled for not being prolific article creators? I must comment that not doing so might put us in a rather awkward position: if one criterion to add users to this pseudo-group is discussion among reviewers (point 2 of adding users), would reviewers self-nominate, or assess each other on their track records (last bullet)?

    The second bullet describes how users are added, the fourth describes expectations for users. New page reviewers wouldn't be special in terms of fast-track or automatic membership - discussion among other reviewers or admin discretion is still needed to add the user --DannyS712 (talk) 21:04, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-02T21:04:00.000Z","author":"DannyS712","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-DannyS712-2019-12-02T21:04:00.000Z-ComplexRational-2019-12-02T20:55:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
I would think that we would handle this in a similar manner to autopatrol where being a reviewer would be a good indicator of competency in asking for the psuedo right but that we wouldn't necessarily automatically include every reviewer. Of note is that anyone (like you) with the autopatrol right won't need access to this pseudogroup as redirects are already patrolled automatically. Similarly, the backend software won't change so for reviewers without autopatrol if they create a redirect the curation toolbar would not let them review their own creation. If that reviewer were in the psuedo group the bot would be able to come along and patrol it though. Does that all make sense?

Yes, that makes sense, and should ensure a balance between efficiency and making sure nobody gets a free pass. Thank you, DannyS712 and Barkeep49, for clarifying.

I have a request: The process of according the right at PERM should please be as automated as possible for the admins who work at PERM. I.e: adding the the user to the white list and whatever else is done to make it work. For example, AWB is too complicated, the script only directs the admin to the white list page and as a consequence AWB requests often have up to a 14 day backlog.

@Kudpung: The bot side was just approved at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot III 66, and for granting, this isn't done at perm. Just add the user to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist (view source to see html inline instructions). As for how easy it'll be, I'm not an admin, so I can't tell, but it should be fairly straightforward (just add * Foo to the whitelist page) DannyS712 (talk) 02:00, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-11T02:00:00.000Z","author":"DannyS712","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-DannyS712-2019-12-11T02:00:00.000Z-Kudpung-2019-12-08T07:40:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
