In development, undisputed
There are some articles already published saying still in development. Please look into? @Michael.C.Wright BigKrow (talk) 15:43, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

- It's an interesting problem. I'm looking into it now. It might take me a bit to unravel what exactly needs to happen. Part of it was the result of the bot work we did with the CC upgrade late last year, early this year. The bot removed template:published when it placed template:archived-cc-2.5. We thought we had all affected articles corrected.
- Another part of it might be that some retracted articles weren't placed in cat:No publish when they were removed from cat:published. I need to see if I can find out why some retracted articles are added to cat:no publish and others aren't. I wasn't even aware of the category.
- Part of it is that the DPL that populates that specific list is not explicitly excluding articles in he category:Developing and I'm not sure why. That would be an easy fix, but I want to see if I can understand why it isn't that way, first.
- This is my frustration with "institutional knowledge." When those who hold it aren't available, it's not available.
- I'll update you once I know more. Thanks for pointing it out!Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Reviewer) 12:51, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- Do you routinely check that list and only recently noticed the problem, or have you just started checking that list recently?Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Reviewer) 12:52, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- I frequently check it but noticed something was off. @Michael.C.Wright BigKrow (talk) 16:39, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- I updated the DPL to explicitly check for Category:Developing. Due to DPL limits, I had to remove the notcategory:Review filter. It now shows what’s in the developing queue (excluding disputed). I’ll monitor it, and others are welcome to do the same and post any issues here. I’m subscribed to this thread, but feel free to ping me directly as well.Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Reviewer) 00:54, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
Articles in multiple categories
We see articles showing up in multiple categories on the Newsroom page. For example, Hurricane Melissa affecting Jamaica is listed both as "Disputed" and "Collaboration requests". Wikinews Interviews Magician and Illusion Builder Bruce Chadwick for National Magic Week is listed both as "Submitted for peer review" and "Incorrectly flagged articles". Ali Alaspli is listed both as "Disputed" and "Incorrectly flagged articles".
It looks like the "Incorrectly flagged articles" category is not working correctly. I understand that these categories are populated by a function or process called "DynamicPageList", but I would like to find out where this function or process is documented so I can see why these categories are populating this way. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:19, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Funny that you caught that. I couldn't figure out what was up with so many collab requests.--Bddpaux (talk) 23:36, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- It looks like every article on the "Collaboration requests" list is also on the "Disputed" list, although there are some articles on the "Disputed" list that are not on the "Collaboration requests" list. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:25, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
