This year's Reviewer of the Year is {{noping|Rosguill}}. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to {{noping|Onel5969}} who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to {{noping| Boleyn}} and {{noping|JTtheOG}} who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with ] and ] (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Misplaced Pages ], covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024.

Can I ask you simply to edit or post it properly then my contribution to AALC disambiguation page, I was trying to edit it good as possible, but probably that's not been enough referring facts relied to the abbreviator "AALC".
"AALC" have too and other association which I contribute, and knowing the limitation and the options which can be used for disambiguation page I done all my best. I wasn't sure only do I'm allowed to add References to the Disambiguation page.
Or are you able then to notice me all my mistakes/errors I done, because "external links" if I read properly the help contribution wiki pages aren't forbidden. Isn't for advertising, it's for simple explanation to what may refer "AALC" which come on the search engines and on WIKIPEDIA as wrong or not complete information.
I don't post spam or advertising there, otherwise from the point of view you have to "edit"/remove and few other associations relied to "AALC" which the same way come as advertising or spam.
Thank you in advance! If you decide to done the editing properly, you have the source from the history.

Featured script
Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.
Miscellaneous
Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Misplaced Pages has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
