Help talk:Unreviewed new page
Infopage
MB, I agree with your edit wrt COI. However, I am not entirely convinced that this should not be marked as an {{infopage}}. The relevant guideline says that infopages are intended to supplement or clarify Wikipedia guidelines, policies, or other Wikipedia processes and practices that are communal norms
. I think that is exactly what this page is doing: clarifying why articles are not marked as reviewed, and how they become reviewed. Infopages can become guidelines through consensus, so I do not see why this potentially becoming a guideline would impact what this should currently be marked as. Finally, I do not see why the fact that this is not linked to from matters. The template's documentation does not say it is only for use on pages with many incoming links. If this page is still a draft, the documentation recommends adding the |nocat= param; this instruction implies that it can be on the page while it is still a draft.

- @HouseBlaster, yes I consider this a draft at this stage. What I meant by saying it is not linked from anywhere is that no one should be even looking at it yet. The guideline you mention is talking about WP: project level pages. This is within a Wikiproject area and I don't think we need to worry about any tags yet. That is a matter that can wait until it is finished and moved to WP:something (I'm not sure "Unreviewed article help" would be the final name). MB 03:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- HouseBlaster, I think MB is right. Naturally comments are welcome, even at an early stage, but I haven't finished copy-editing it yet, This is very much in developmental stage and the format of the new feature it would eventually support has not even been decided on or been discussed for consensus.

- I think we have something that is clean, uncluttered, inspirational for new users. and not a wall of policy text. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:58, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Kudpung, yes it looks nice. Your clean format is a big improvement over my original version. MB 15:50, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
- It looks fabulous! One thought: I think the scam warning should be at the top of the page. People might get their answer in the lead and click away, never seeing the critical warning. HouseBlastertalk 22:59, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- There's nothing grates on my eyes more than seeing a cluster of banners on the top of a page. That's why I combined the nutshell with the ombox, ans also queried if the Help banner is really needed - it's not mandatory. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:55, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
