This page in a nutshell: This page contains information about the New Page Reviewer right and related policy and guidelines.

New Page Reviewer is a user permission applied to Wikipedia accounts for users, which grants them the patrol right, allowing them to work with the New Pages Feed^[1] and the Page Curation Tool to process, approve, or tag newly created pages for publishing.^[2] This system of reviewing and approving new articles was implemented in October 2016 as an updated method to the original process that was developed in collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation in 2011, which sought to better control the quality of new pages, and to address common unwanted content such as spam, copyright violations and other disruption to Wikipedia—while allowing good faith new users to draft articles and receive feedback and assistance during the process.

There are currently 804 New Page Reviewers, which makes the total number of users with this permission 1,655 (the rest are administrators, who automatically have this permission as part of their trusted duties).
