Page Curation newsletter - closing up!
Hey all :).
We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.
However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here.
Again, it's been an honour. Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 12:11, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

reflist
Adding a reflist when missing is helpful, but since the add occurs at the same time a user is presented with a message about a missing reflist, it likely results in an edit conflict - that is not helpful. :) mortenf (talk) 22:35, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
- Ditto. Edited conflicted by this bot while in the midle off adding refs. I suggest the author turn this feature off, especially as, if there's no refs thing, we get a big red message anyway. Unwanted help is interference. Sophie means wisdom (talk) 15:35, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
