Wikipedia:Page Curation

Any bug reports or suggestions for new features should be made at Phabricator using this form (or at the NPP reviewers discussion page).

Page Curation is a suite of tools developed between March and September 2012 by the Wikimedia Foundation, and greatly improved in 2018 in collaboration with the Wikipedia community, to help experienced editors review new pages on the English Wikipedia. The recommendations and guidelines for patrollers are described at WP:NPP, which should be studied carefully before using these tools.

Page curation provides two main features:

1. the New Pages Feed, a dynamic list of new pages for review by community patrollers.
2. the Curation Toolbar, an optional panel on articles that enables editors to review them more effectively.

As of October 2016, a new user group, New Page Reviewer, was created for qualified reviewers, and only users with the New Page Reviewer flag have access to Page Curation. New page reviewers also have the option of using a user script that combines the two main Page Curation features.^[a] If you are an experienced editor, please consider applying!

Users may apply for the New Page Patroller flag at WP:PERM. Applicants are expected to have been registered for at least 90 days and to have made at least 500 uncontested edits to mainspace articles. This is similar to the application process to obtain rights as a Reviewer or Rollbacker, where the user's editing history is checked and, if appropriate, the right is granted by a reviewing administrator. Administrators are accorded discretion to grant the right even where the 90-day threshold is not fully met—typically done when a review of the person's edits indicate they are a strong candidate. For more details, please see New pages patrol and read the instructions at WP:PERM.

There are currently 815 New page reviewers, which makes the total number of users with this permission 1,674 (the rest are administrators).
