I would like to request a "hot articles" report for the lichen task force. Thanks!

Can we change the red and orange numbers for the lichen task force? Turns out I was over-optimistic on our output – and not a single article is showing up on our list. XD Can we please set orange at 5 and red at 10? Thanks. MeegsC (talk) 08:18, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Generally yes, put an edit request below with exactly what you want changed, as if you could edit the page yourself. Be sure to flag the request with an edit requested template as well. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:37, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

xaosflux, I don't see our task force on the list, and we haven't seen any reports yet. Is it working? Or hasn't anybody had the chance to add us yet? I can see some of our articles on the WP:FUNGI list, including one with 42 edits, so it should have hit even without the updates! MeegsC (talk) 13:51, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@MeegsC did you open an edit request, using the edit request template that enqueues edits for review and processing by admins? You should place one on any edit you are proposing to a protected page. It looks like this:

Hi! It appears that the bot is still not yet writing any data to Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines/Hot articles. Is there any idea why it isn't working? Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 15:29, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

@Ganmatthew: The specified category needs to directly include all of the pages that you want evaluated – the subcategories of Category:WikiProject Philippines won't work. For example, take a look at Category:WikiProject Dinosaurs articles or Category:WikiProject Bangladesh articles. You may need to tweak the {{WikiProject Tambayan Philippines}} banner to get the talk pages of all affected articles to be put into the same category. DanCherek (talk) 05:23, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Alright, I'll have that done. Thanks! Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 07:31, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

There are a few I could not do (Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy, Architecture, ) because their project cats are all diffused (i.e. there isn't one top level cat with all articles in it). This seems to cover all the high-level stuff. jp×g 00:57, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Note that I am not done yet, I'm going to add a few more, and then I will put the template on. jp×g 19:11, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Not done: The projects who are interested in having this tracking should make their own requests. Izno (talk) 21:57, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

@Izno: Should I add my signature to each WikiProject page individually and then open a discussion on the talk page to request that I be allowed to request a hot articles list here? jp×g 23:52, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, actually, that's about what I would expect for someone who wants to add this for their WikiProject. Except do it with sincerity. Izno (talk) 23:54, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

My issue with this is that the overwhelming majority of WikiProjects are mostly or completely unused as actual centers of on-wiki collaboration. Journalism, for example, had a mere 76 edits to its talk page in the entire year of 2022; 13 of these were Sigmabot archiving sections. At least 1 2 3 4 5 are semi-automated notices (massmessages, RFC announcements, etc) and the majority of the rest are lonely questions that went totally unanswered. It seems to me that the predominant use of WikiProject pages is not as an active hub for people to work together by naming themselves members of the project, but rather as a central location by which people interested in a subject can see at a glance what Wikipedia activity in the topic area looks like and what's going on (article alerts and the like). For comparison, Category:All Wikipedia article alert reports has 1,654 members, and it seems rather doubtful that official proceedings were undertaken on WikiProject talk pages to request them. Similarly, the article assessment workflow involves categorizing articles into WikiProjects based on their subject matter, which surely does not require people to be official members of the WikiProject. jp×g 01:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

mostly or completely unused as actual centers of on-wiki collaboration seems like a good argument not to add these WikiProjects that haven't requested to be tracking hot articles. Izno (talk) 03:01, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Okay, if nobody is allowed to consult a page listing which articles related to journalism are being edited most frequently because WikiProject Journalism doesn't have any activity, I guess there is no point in pursuing this line of questioning further. jp×g 06:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Looking at the source code of the bot, that won't work - it requires the category contain talk pages. You need to create Category:WikiProject Chenab Valley articles, modify the template to populate it, and then re-request here. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
