NPPChart

Populates historical data of New Pages Patrol backlog size for use in on-wiki charts. All data is pulled in from the s53463__actrial_p.npp_queue_size database on Toolforge, courtesy of Nettrom. This data is updated thrice daily, and the bot imports this data to the wiki just as frequently.

Enabled

To disable, set /Run to anything other than true (link)

Errors are logged at /Error log

Configuration

Functionality can be tweaked at /config. Configuration data is in the form of JSON.

IMPORTANT:

Do not modify the config files unless you have a basic understanding of JSON
Read the documentation first.
Do not change the key values.
Keys should always be strings, e.g. use "option": true instead of option: true.
Strings should be wrapped in double-quotes, e.g. "option" instead of 'option'.
Boolean values must be either true or false with no quotations around it.
Numerical values must be integers with no quotations around it.
The last key/value pair within a hash or the value value in an array must not have a comma at the end of it
Essentially if the JSON editor interface says there are any syntax errors or warnings, you have done something wrong

This chart is automatically updated by MusikBot, going off a database on Toolforge provided by Nettrom. The data should match the Page Curation backlog exactly, excluding redirects.

All versions of this graph are displayed at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Graphs.
