message: Is anyone who does WP Louisville work using project-wide change patrol ("ALL PROJECT PAGES" and links under it)? If not, due to performance issues in updating the mammoth page it depends on, I may need to indefinitely deprecate this feature. If anyone does use it, I need to see if I can get a bot to do the updates to that mammoth page, although I don't know in advance if that will be possible. At any rate, please let me know here if you use it. Thanks! Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 20:10, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Today I figured out how to get a bot to generate the list of included pages, and perhaps even update it daily. So this may be resolved, and I won't have to deprecate this feature. Enjoy! Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 06:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

message: On our Resources page, I have reorganized various useful lists, logs and query results as tabular data with enhanced descriptions and usage information, and through some research, have expanded what's available. With these lists and such, WikiProject Louisville participants can be more productive with particular project tasks. Examples are lists of articles with the oldest issues, articles that may have too few categories, stubs that are our oldest or largest, etc. If anyone has questions about these lists, or has ideas for other lists that would help them be more productive in our project tasks, please discuss them here.

replies: text: Update: As of now, all of these lists, logs and query results are automatically generated by bots or your clicks. None of them require any manual intervention, unless there is a bug of some sort. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 05:09, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Update: So far, there has been no sign-ups beyond my own. We might have had sign-ups if I could better internally advertise it; a key approach that would have reached many editors was denied. At any rate, the work listed in the drive comprises necessary article improvements that will have to be completed sooner or later. Therefore, I will proceed with the drive with the hope that others join me along the way. I never ask anyone to do work I wouldn't do myself. Happy Derby everyone! Stefen Towers among the rest!

text: Update 2: Due to lack of interest and support for advertising the drive in Wikipedia, I have shut down the drive. Of course, if anyone wants to work on the eligible articles in the drive, please feel free at any time. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 20:50, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
