A n00b at Portuguese Wikisource had decided to insert
a brazilian salutation
slang in the second most used template on that wiki for unknown reasons. A
admin with poor English (me) reverted it. [1]. All have happened 9 days ago
but since it the job queue is floating between ~1,080 / ~2,400. What is
happening?
What was the queue like before? Those don't seem like particularly
large values (not that I know how big pt.wikisource is, so it's a
little hard to judge). If it's been going both up and down, then I
doubt it's a result of an event 9 days ago. There have probably been
other edits to templates.
