I currently have a little number 5 at the top of my screen (just to the left of “review”). The tooltip says “5 Total posts awaiting review.”, but when I click on it I get taken to an empty review page (0 items on each category).

This has been on for a few days. The number varies, but it’s always wrong.

Am I missing something?

  • I don't think this is a question about the Emacs site. It is a question about the Stack Exchange UI. But apparently the criterion for closing says that a question is OT if it is neither about the Emacs site nor about the S.E. software (!). FWIW, that second criterion doesn't seem right to me. What's the point of having an Emacs site-specific meta if anything about S.E. is on topic?

It's not working! Should I blame caching?

But actually, it's more than caching. The number at the top of the screen is the total number of pending items in the queues that you can act on. This includes items that are still pending, but that you cannot act on: mainly items that you have already reviews, but also your own suggested edits, questions in the close queue that you've already voted to close, etc.

This has been reported many times on the Main Meta. Making the number accurate for you has been declined because it would be too expensive to implement. I proposed an approximation which is under consideration but nothing has changed so far.
