I'm surprised this wasn't already standard. I kind of took it for granted that it was. Needs to be done quickly.

Thanks for filing this. It's not something that the Growth team can work on any time soon (see here for our maintenance support). Patches welcome.

The Growth Team formed in July 2018 to support the Wikimedia Foundation's long-term goal of "Knowledge Equity" through the Audiences department's "New Content" program. The "Knowledge Equity" goal and the "New Content" program are about building strong communities that make diverse knowledge available to people all over the world. One critical pathway toward those goals is through engaging new contributors in Wikimedia projects. But because of the cultural and technical skills needed to productively contribute to the projects, very few people who begin to contribute continue to do so in the days and weeks after their initial involvement. The Growth Team's objective is to address this problem through software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects, starting with Wikipedias.

The needs of the New Page Patrol process falls squarely in this description.

Hi @Kudpung -- thanks for following up on this. A volunteer wrote a patch to make this fix, and an engineer from the Growth team reviewed and merged it, so I believe this should be fixed on the wiki by Friday of next week! Please let us know if you see differently. Although the Growth team isn't always able to fit in work on PageTriage, we definitely try, and especially try to prioritize reviewing volunteer patches. Happily, that's what happened here.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to introduce you to @KStoller-WMF, who is the new product manager of the Growth team. She has lots of good experience with community-driven websites and I think she is a great fit for the work of the team and the communities. I'm moving into more of a management role for multiple teams, and I'm working closely with @KStoller-WMF going forward -- but I just wanted to point out this change so that you can be in touch with either of us in the future.

Hi @MMiller_WMF , thank you so much for this good news. It comes as extremely welcome at a time when unscrupulous users are increasingly finding new loopholes to get their inadmissible and inappropriate new articles past our controls. Huge thanks also to @taavi for taking it on and getting it done in record time. FYI: @mb , @Novem_Linguae , and @Atsme.

This is great news, Kudz. I also thought it was automatic, so what do I need to do to help move this through for us?

@Atsme: nothing. My post and adding you as a follower was FYI only. I'm very pleased it's being done.
