Creating new Help Center documents for Review queues: Project overview

Back in April, when you first mentioned the review queue overhaul project, you said:

We’ll be using community feedback to continue to iterate on this work.

And it's really nice to see you delivering on that bit. Having all of these separate questions for each queue's help center article for community feedback is awesome.

Moving on...

Currently, the majority of Review queue information, what they are and how to use them, can only be found on Meta. This information is often more detailed than the beginner or average user needs. By creating canonical pages in the Help Center, this content becomes easier to link to and find.

Seriously agreed. I left an answer on the aforementioned project overhaul post that said:

I feel as though the act of reviewing isn't too difficult to pick up on, provided the information given to the user is simultaneously succinct and complete.
...
On one hand, I would prefer not to dig through a lot of old meta posts to be able to review correctly. On the other, I really do want to review correctly, and I have spent a large amount of my time ensuring that my review choices were correct.

While I love how detailed the FAQ are, having an official guidance that's succinct is important, and I'm in agreement with you that some of the information within those FAQ articles is a bit excessive for new reviewers. I really hope the help center articles will do what they're intended to do, which is to compact the relevant information for new reviewers into an easy-to-read article. Reviewing is important for site health, and onboarding new users into it should be as seamless as possible. Good luck moving forward with this!

Rest assured, we will not be getting rid of the community wiki pages already created around this subject and the Help Center will continue to link to relevant Meta articles as necessary. By directing users to the Help Center, Meta can better focus on specific questions, problems, supplementary information, and discussion.

Honestly really happy to see this. There are a couple of users who dedicate a sizeable amount of time to updating the FAQ on this site to ensure users who happen to require guidance get the right guidance. I'm glad that the community curated FAQs won't simply be meaningless once the relevant information is baked into the help center.

As a final note...

Thank you, sincerely, for opening the help center drafts to community review. There are a lot of very experienced reviewers and moderators who are already posting answers to the linked questions, suggesting improvements and iterating on important bits they wish they got when they first started. I have faith that their suggestions will make it into the final drafts, and that they'll be useful for future users as they make their way onto the site.

"... creating Help Center pages for each individual queue. ... We’d like to start this initiative by creating new pages about how to use the Review queues.". You should start here, and make sure the quick help ("Basic Workflow") is adequate:

That particular example (the only screenshot example available to me, ATM) isn't as lacking as some of the other queues, more examples will be added as they are noticed; while doing future reviews.

One spot where I notice some difference of opinion (and what appear to be frequent review audits) is in the Low Quality Posts queue:

It's nowhere near as helpful (and shiney) as the Triage queue Quick Help on Stack Overflow:

While each individual line could be more detailed at least it has two Help links.

Expanding on Rob's excellent suggestion, I think there really is a need to include a link to a page with further information about the specific review queue you are in.

So SO's:

Confused? Read the detailed guide for triaging questions.

Should be in all queues, for all sites.

If the modal can detect if the user is a ♦ moderator, it can be useful (at least for new mods) to include some kind of explanation about their binding vote in all the review queues.
