First posts and Help & improvement review queues say you need 2147.5 million rep to review

Question

Now that the 'First posts' and 'Help & improvement' review queues have been retired, they don't appear in the list of the review queues in the top bar, nor do they appear in the /review page.

However, the pages are still active via /review/first-posts and /review/helper respectively - presumably to allow users to see their stats on them (my links point to Stack Overflow's review pages, but the behaviour is the same on all^* Stack Exchange sites).

On the pages, instead of a notice saying that the queues have been retired, there is a confusing message:

Reputation is stored as a signed 32 bit integer, so presumably the exact required reputation is 2^31 - 1 == 2,147,483,647.

Instead of having the message says that I need 2147.5m reputation, perhaps the message should say, e.g.

This review queue has been retired.

or something similar - in addition to having the "Retired" indicator next to the review queue's name.

We've just applied a fix for this issue! Basically when a queue was retired, it no longer had a Minimum Reputation set, by default (as greatly pointed out by you!) we set them to int.MaxValue for security reasons.

To fix it, now the "retired status validation" takes precedence over the "minimum reputation validation", and the queue will be displayed as Retired.

Thanks for reporting! We really appreciate the help.
