Wikipedia:Backlog drive schedule

This is a centralized place to list upcoming backlog drives, serving two purposes:

1. It allows editors to find what drives are going on in the current month
2. It helps those scheduling backlog drives to minimize overlap, which will hopefully increase participation and decrease burnout

The "shortcut drive" is the drive with the month's shortcut (such as WP:JUN25). Generally, this goes to the first drive to claim it.

If you are scheduling overlapping backlog drives, give special consideration to the editors likely to participate in each drive. Overlapping new page patrol and articles for creation drives is a bad idea; simultaneous new page patrol and Guild of Copy Editors drives would not be the end of the world.
