I saw a message on RC Patrol today about how to access an Introduction Greenhouse, and I thought that I would share it here since I know that people have talked about wanting to have a feature like this before. Apparently, you can access the introduction greenhouse by going to Special:EditFinder/introduction . I have to give credit to @Freyrr and @ICanGuessItLol for finding this hidden feature. @Freyrr sent a message about it after @ICanGuessItLol asked about it, and I thought that I would share it here on the forums so that everyone can know about it.

Sounds great! Is there any other hidden greenhouses we should know about?

It looks like there is also a clarity greenhouse for the {{ clarity }} template. It can be accessed at Special:EditFinder/clarity .

Just an FYI when using these, it does not look like they will automatically removed the intro or clarity tag when you save the edit. So if you think that it should be removed, then make sure to remove it manually.

@JayneG Perhaps an engineer can tweak this a bit and this can go on the Community Dashboard? Just a thought:smiley:

Well look at that! What a great find!

I like the idea of adding it to the dash, but not sure it will happen any time soon. I’ll keep it on my list:slight_smile:

Heads up to engineers: With these greenhouse tools working in the past, they’ve always loaded up articles needing edits from oldest to newest. However, with these current tools, seems oldest to newest has “gone out the door” and some random order has been set in place. Can we get it to load “oldest first” - like all the other Greenhouse tools? Thanks. @JayneG
