What PageTriage bugs and features would you like us to prioritize?[edit]

Howdy folks. I was recently asked to be the NPP technical issues coordinator and I happily accepted. MB and I are going through the old PageTriage bug reports and feature requests. PageTriage is the software that pops up the NPP toolbar on the right of your screen. There's a ton of old bug reports and feature requests, and some are outdated. Anyway, are there any bug reports and feature requests that jump to mind that you think we should prioritize? Feel free to name one or two issues that are important to you, to get them on our radar. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:42, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • As a relatively new NPP reviewer, I have fallen foul of a bug in the AfD option three times. The AfD process is started but the tool doesn't complete it properly. I have had to re-edit the article to manually add the deletion tag on the article (plus edit summary) and edit the article's deletion discussion page to add the recommended code ("{{subst:afd2 ..." etc). This occurred most recently (yesterday: 13 July 2022) in relation to Susan Ruth Kamunya. Thanks Paul W (talk) 09:33, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why can’t the NPP tool use Twinkle (or the Twinkle code) for everything Twinkle does. That way, we’re reducing the maintenance effort for NPP and using a code base that’s heavily used and well-maintained. Then place the NPP effort on all the other components’ bugs. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 11:16, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Unfortunately this one is harder than it looks and would likely require dozens of hours of dev time on both codebases. The problem has to do with tightly coupled code. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I guess it’s too late to state that tight coupling is considered a “code smell” in many programming environments. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:29, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmm. One simple implementation of this would be to just have clicking certain PageTriage buttons (such as the "tag" button) pop up the Twinkle tag window. Now that I'm talking this out, that might be an idea worth exploring. Eliminating code duplication would be a win for maintainability, and this would also fix the AFD bug. One complication would be that the user would have to have the Twinkle gadget turned on and fully loaded. Another complication would be that we'd lose Special:Log page curation logging of deletion and tagging actions, and notification tray notifications to the article creator. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:43, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The message box under "Mark as Reviewed" should have the language adjusted to say " Add a message to Talk page for the creator and/or other Reviewers. This message will also be posted to the creator's talk page" This would better match the message left on Article Talk page when using and also hopefully encourage reviewers to use the feature on difficult articles, you know the ones we all skip over repeatedly.
