Misfiling[edit]

Sorry admins, I made a mistake with an autofiling. I had meant to submit a filing for DJdjPollard15 (the target filing) but I accidentally filed it under DjdjPollard15 (my filing). Can an admin merge the two into the correct ones please? The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 07:08, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Query[edit]

Hey CUers, admins and SPI clerks,

I was just browsing the list on the main SPI page and was wondering why there are some SPI investigations listed that were last actioned in February, March and April. I know that your schedules are full of SPI cases to investigate so it seems like these older ones should have aged off the list at this point to make room for new cases. I can't imagine there are still cases that have been left open for 2 or 3 months so I guess I'm just wondering what bot moves cases along (and off) the list on this page. Thanks. Liz ^{Read!

The only thing a bot does is build the big table broken down by case status. Cases don't actually change status until a human makes the change. And once a case is closed, it doesn't get archived until a clerk or CU gives it a final look over to catch any problems. You're right that things are backed up. They often are at SPI. We'd be happy to have more admins helping out with the caseload (hint, hint). -- RoySmith (talk) 22:53, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
