A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of NSW TrainLink railway stations, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of NSW TrainLink railway stations until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks for converting my page moves into redirects :)

There's another batch of about 20 station articles that might need similar treatment, currently redlinked in the first two tables here - Walker railmotor#In service - though some of them might be redlinked because there is no article to go to. In those cases, would it make sense to generate a redirect towards the line articles as a stopgap?

@Anothersignalman: Hey, I don't see why you can't just wikilink to the article directly without the comma disambiguation (if an article exists)? For example, link to Seymour railway station instead of Seymour railway station, Victoria and pipe the wikilink as needed?

I mean otherwise, you can of course create the redirects manually? Creating a redirect doesn't require a page move. I didn't get that your intention was to create redirects with your page move summaries "To match format of Australian railway stations in general". Some more information about redirects and how to create them at Wikipedia:Redirect. Fork99 (talk) 00:25, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

When I set up the table I was trying to futureproof and avoid disambiguation pages. I hadn't thought to check for a policy page for the station names. I'd just picked up on the general vibe that adding the state/city had sort of emerged over time, so I figured someone, somewhere, had decided to make that the default and hadn't yet gotten around to the ones I thought I was fixing a few nights ago.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

An editor has requested that New South Wales A and B sets be moved to New South Wales Waratah trains. Since you had some involvement with 'New South Wales A and B sets', you are invited to participate in the move discussion. Qwerty123M (talk) 23:43, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
