All hail the glorious new feed!
EDIT: The new page changes have effectively hidden new untagged articles, which is a definite step back for me and for new articles.

Untagged pages are now in both the top and bottom, to serve as an asset for any staff member looking to tag them without removing them from the top-level feed.

This is an update to categorize recently created pages, as voted on here

Please note any performance issues or problems in this thread and they will be addressed. Thanks to Croque for helping me get this lookin' good.

So when will the funeral ceremony for the old feed happen?
not to be a contrarian but this honestly just make new pages harder to look for, i come to the "recently created pages" page to look at recently created pages, not like four windows.
it would be better if this was listed as an option on the original page imo.

I'm going to have to agree with this. It doesn't necessarily look bad, but an article that I wrote in December is displayed under the "Recently Created GoI Formats" tab. I'd rather see articles made within the last week than everything "recently made".
I know that the old page still exists, but I'd rather have an option to be able to have an easy click to the old page.
Seeing this in action makes this apparent how unhelpful this is. This isn't going to help visibility at all. Couple reasons:

Just as a suggestion to help the untagged SCPs thing, just automatically tag all SCPs with SCP like with what happens with tales.
Edit: Also, just for the record, on mobile you have to scroll down a fair bit before you get to tales, let alone GoI Formats. If this is the format for New Pages, it might be good to give it the Top Rated Pages treatment and shrink down the windows for each one.
Such a suggestion would mean the Tech Team would need to find a new way to find untagged SCPs, as the current method is to look for SCPs without any tags. This may be possible, but will increase work for staff.
Articles being tagged with a single tag means that the Tech Team will miss them. SCP-4600, SCP-4777, SCP-4591 and SCP-4079 have been untagged for seven months because a single tag was added.

Just wanted to weigh in and say I agree with all of stormbreaths points here, especially this one:
The easiest way to read through recently created SCPs and remember where you left off was by judging off location between non-SCP writing. I could look at the old list and say "I have read all SCPs between these two tales, with non SCP names. The only way to do this as it stands is through -EX and -Js, which are not particularly common.
This is primarily how I interact with the site and this has fundamentally changed that (I didn't realise the old page was still available, which I now see, but still.)
It also has another effect of separating SCP articles into two lists - tagged and untagged. There are obvious issues here, not least of which is that, after a quick browse back (which feels super weird, for the record - clicking a page number on one of the windows and having the entire page reload to have that single box update) shows that there are untagged SCPs as old as January 1st. Looks like this is from clichecon which explains how they were missed, but were this the active page at the time those articles would have probably completely missed out on getting any readers from Recently Created.
Additionally, people who don't tag their articles for whatever reason (which is the recommended practice) are going to be at a disadvantage, which will escalate depending on how long that tagging takes - less time at the top of the New SCP list means less readers, and if it takes a long time (days for example, which looking at the lists right now, isn't unreasonable) they are going to miss out pretty heavily as they are never going to see the top of that list. I certainly don't intend to be regularly scrolling down to that Untagged list, and I can't imagine I will be the only one.
I was vaguely following along with this on O5 and saw no issues with it at the time, but as stormbreath said; seeing this in action has made it apparent how unhelpful it is.
ETA: I just realised that navigating one page on one of the boxes changes the current page on all the boxes. I realise this is probably unavoidable on wikidot without some extensive javascripting on the page, but from a UI point of view this is pretty icky.
Agreeing with these posts. Additionally, if you click past page 1 the formatting for the page number navigation bar breaks, at least in my browser (the arrows in front of previous and behind next move to different lines). Even on the base page the formatting is wonky (page 1 of / 103 are on separate lines).
Cutting down the number of lines displayed so you don't have to scroll so far would be a good start, but I don't know how you fix the other problems, particularly the non-tagged articles being dumped at the bottom.
The new page dropped right as I was in the old page, and i got so confused the next time I pressed it.
