Past Week's Hot Edits list redesigned

The Past Week's Hot Edits list on the front page has been redesigned:

1. I'm no longer depending on a specific bot and instead using a general purpose bot that fills in the {{Database report}} template. In the past year, I've become a lot more acquainted with the wiki database and how to write queries against it, so this redesign puts that learning to good use. It's smarter to use a general purpose bot that gets wider use, since whenever it goes down, it gets a higher administrative priority to address.
2. Because I was more in control of the design, I was able to add another column showing our assessment rating for each article.

This list will update once a day like the previous version did. I also just added an update date in a hatnote above the list. Please let me know if you have any questions. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 04:56, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Improvements to project alerts

I'm busy today. :) I also just made the project alerts more prominent on the front page and added some current major backlogs to it. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 06:27, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Current major backlogs

Due to minor technical issues, I recently moved the list of current major backlogs out from alerts and into its own section on the project's front page. As of now, the table keeps track of

1. Stubs needing expansion or reassessment
2. Cleanup issues
3. Photo/image requests
4. Articles with old cleanup issues

If any WikiProject Kentucky members are interested, I can also track "Possibly undercategorized articles" (articles with 4 or fewer non-stub/non-hidden categories) like I do for WP Louisville. It would be straightforward to set up. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 05:11, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Photo/image requests

I've gone through and updated/sanitized our photo requests across Kentucky-related articles. We currently have approximately 1,100 such requests. As part of this, I have broken many requests down to the county level, although much more could be done this way. At any rate, see the "Current major backlogs" section on the front page for the most up-to-date total and link to a list of all requests.
