Good article nominations

Graphs in the Signpost

Hello, I'm looking around right now in the community in the hopes of finding someone with enough time and technical know-how on tap to put together data visualizations for the Signpost, using the new Extension:Graphs function. I thought I could do it but with my editorial duties I am run out of thread time-wise. This in particular is a first project of interest for visualization purposes, just for starters. Do you know anyone that you think might be willing take on this task? I ask because you have better traction with the tech community than I do; I hope we can eventually find someone we can rely on for these.

Duplicate parameter args

Could you add support for mask1=, mask2=, mask3=, ... in [20] for parsing User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/OptIn transclusions? it looks like you could accomplish this with a simple regexp replace before the arg parsing to replace 'mask[%d]=' with 'mask='. this will allow the removal of a bunch of pages from Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls. thank you.
