Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

I noticed that Geschichte has started prodding these kinds of articles with the following rationale:
This type of list can be considered depecrated, per this, this, this, this, this, this and this AFD - and now also this and this AFD.
I think their rationale makes sense, but I also think there may be some value to the Index of Trinidad and Tobago–related articles for a project-related purpose of trying to understand the scope of what we are working on. So I'm proposing that we move this to a subpage of this WikiProject, since I don't think it has a place any more in mainspace. Guettarda (talk) 14:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed. Kind regards, Grueslayer 14:45, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support. I think this is a great idea. Fully support the transition.

- Much more useful for understanding the scope of the project is the dynamic list at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Trinidad and Tobago articles by quality statistics (which currently has about about 2,800 articles) than the old, manual, index (which lists just under a thousand). – Uanfala (talk) 14:59, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)
and turns it into something like
- John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
