When modifying a hook in a Prep or Queue (other than minor formatting fixes) please notify the nominator by including a link of the form [[User:JoeEditor]]
in your edit summary. (Ping templates like {{U|JoeEditor}}
don't work in edit summaries.)
ADMINISTRATORS: Please ensure that there is always at least one update loaded into the Queue at all times to prevent overdue updates to the main page.
This page gives an overview of all the hooks currently in the queue for promotion to the front page. By showing the content of all the queue and preparation area pages in one place, the overview helps administrators see how full the queue is, and also makes it easier for users to check that their hook has been promoted. Hooks removed from the prep areas or queue for unresolved issues should have their nominations reopened and retranscluded at the nomination page.
You may need to purge this page to get it to display the latest edits.
The next update will be produced from queue 1. After doing a manual update, please update the pointer to the next queue.

Note: After 120 or more approved nominations, we rotate to two sets a day and when we drop below 60, we rotate to one set a day.
