New Page Reviewer is a special rights user group. Reviewers work with the and the Page Curation Tool to process, approve, or tag newly created pages.
There are currently New page reviewers, which makes the total number of users with this permission 1,654 (the rest are administrators).
Editors who have not reviewed new pages since 1 January 2016 will no longer be able to do so until they have made a special, but straightforward, application for the right at WP:PERM.
Users applying for the New Page Patroller flag at WP:PERM are expected to have been registered for at least 90 days and to have made at least 500 uncontested edits to mainspace articles. This is similar to the application process to obtain rights as a Reviewer or Rollbacker, where the user's editing history is checked and, if appropriate, the right is granted by a reviewing administrator. Administrators are accorded discretion to grant the right even where the 90-day threshold is not fully met — typically done when a review of the person's edits indicate they are a strong candidate. For more details, please see New pages patrol and read the instructions at WP:PERM.
Users who had made at least 200 uncontested patrols between 1 January 2016 and 6 October 2016 were accorded the right by administrators without the need to apply at WP:PERM.
All other users who wish to mark pages as patrolled must apply for the right. This is necessary to remove pages from the new pages feed to prevent new page patrollers from duplicating their efforts. The right is included in the Administrator toolset. Only users with the New Page Reviewer right will be able to mark pages as 'patrolled' but this does not affect access to Twinkle for tagging new or existing pages.
The above items are guidelines and numerical compliance alone does not constitute a right to the user group. An administrator may also grant page reviewer rights to users they otherwise deem competent or may request experience above and beyond the above criteria.
The user right can be revoked for violating any of the above conduct standards and for other misconduct. Additionally, it can be revoked at any time by an administrator without any process or prior notice in any of the following circumstances:
Additionally, the right may be removed immediately at the self-request of the editor. Appeals of revocation should be made in the first instance to the revoking administrator, failing which, a further appeal can be made at the Administrators' noticeboard (not ANI).
