All -<br>
<br>
I would appreciate help with the following announcement. As with the<br>
previous announcement, I'd like it to be sent to as many language<br>
mailing lists & village pumps as possible. My plan is to send the<br>
English language announcement on Wednesday, June 4, at 11:00 UTC to<br>
foundation-l and all multilingual and English language project mailing<br>
lists. I would need your help to send it to other lists, languages &<br>
places.<br>
<br>
Announcement follows.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any & all help,<br>
Erik<br>

Subject: Important: New edit patrolling features available<br>
<br>
As of today, the "FlaggedRevs" extension is available to any wiki<br>
community that wishes to use it. FlaggedRevs is a tool for patrolling<br>
changes, identifying high quality article versions, and changing the<br>
default version shown to unregistered users. It's highly configurable.<br>
As such, we're making it available in two configurations:<br>
<br>
1) A minimally intrusive "patrolling" configuration;<br>
2) Custom configurations per your request.<br>
<br>
== Who needs this feature and where can I see it? ==<br>
<br>
Larger wiki communities will probably benefit more from the use of<br>
this feature than smaller ones. If you have problems keeping vandalism<br>
in check, and/or want to experiment with new ways to identify high<br>
quality content, you should look into this functionality.<br>
<br>
You can see an English language demo installation of the feature at:<br>
<a href="http://en.labs.wikimedia.org/" target="_blank">http://en.labs.wikimedia.org/</a><br>
<br>
The feature is in production use on the German Wikipedia:<br>
<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/" target="_blank">http://de.wikipedia.org/</a><br>
<br>
The German Wikipedia uses a custom configuration where the most recent<br>
vandalism-patrolled version, if any, is shown to unregistered users.<br>
You can track the progress of their use of the patrolling feature<br>
here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://tools.wikimedia.de/%7Eaka/cgi-bin/reviewcnt.cgi?lang=english" target="_blank">http://tools.wikimedia.de/~aka/cgi-bin/reviewcnt.cgi?lang=english</a><br>
<br>
== Patrolling Configuration ==<br>
<br>
In the Patrolling Configuration, any user who has been registered for<br>
more than 21 days and has made at least 150 edits will be<br>
automatically given the permission to patrol changes for vandalism.<br>
Only changes made by users who are not permitted to patrol changes<br>
need to be patrolled.<br>
<br>
In addition, sysops will be given the permission to flag versions of<br>
"featured articles" in accordance with existing nomination processes.<br>
(In other words, this gives you the ability to identify specific<br>
_versions_ of an article as "featured", rather than the article as a<br>
whole.) Finally, sysops will be permitted to define on a per-page<br>
basis that changes need to be patrolled before being visible to<br>
unregistered readers. This is an alternative to semi-protection; it<br>
doesn't make sense to use both on a given page.<br>
<br>
The use of these features is subject to policies that your wiki<br>
community will need to develop. They should be used carefully until<br>
such a policy is in place.<br>
<br>
To activate the patrolling configuration,<br>
<br>
1) File a request on <a href="http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/" target="_blank">http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/</a> of type<br>
"enhancement", component "site request". You may need to create a<br>
BugZilla account to do this.<br>
<br>
2) Title your request "Enable FlaggedRevs Patrolling Configuration on<br>
(my project name)".<br>
<br>
3) Post a link to your BugZilla request to your project's "Village<br>
pump" and mailing list, if available.<br>
<br>
If there are no objections on the BugZilla page, the request will be<br>
considered valid after 7 days. (It may still take a while longer to<br>
process it.)<br>
<br>
== Custom Configurations ==<br>
<br>
The FlaggedRevs extension is highly flexible in its configuration. We<br>
are willing to accommodate custom requests. Since some configurations<br>
of FlaggedRevs could be considered highly disruptive, the requirements<br>
are somewhat higher.<br>
<br>
1) Read about the configuration options at:<br>
<a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs" target="_blank">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs</a><br>
and experiment with the live demo at:<br>
<a href="http://en.labs.wikimedia.org/" target="_blank">http://en.labs.wikimedia.org/</a><br>
<br>
2) Create a page in the "Project:" namespace (e.g. "Wikipedia:",<br>
"Wikibooks:") of your wiki community describing the configuration you<br>
want to use.<br>
<br>
3) Create a BugZilla request as above, titled "Enable FlaggedRevs<br>
custom configuration on (my project name)" pointing to the proposal<br>
page you have created. Provide an English translation of all relevant<br>
information if possible - or we may not be able to help you.<br>
<br>
4) Post a link to your proposal and to the BugZilla request to the<br>
various relevant channels of your wiki community, e.g. "village pump",<br>
mailing list.<br>
<br>
If there are no objections within 14 days, your request will be<br>
considered valid. If there are objections, please try building<br>
consensus. If necessary, you can also resort to a poll (a very large<br>
majority, at least two thirds, is generally necessary).<br>
<br>
Note that custom configurations will take longer to process, and might<br>
sit in the technical support queue for several weeks.<br>
<br>
Our developers will _only_ look at the information attached to the<br>
BugZilla request, so please make sure that everything relevant is at<br>
least linked from there.<br>
<br>
== Translators needed ==<br>
<br>
The user interface of the FlaggedRevs extension needs to be translated<br>
into as many languages as possible. The extension can be localized<br>
using <a href="http://translatewiki.net/" target="_blank">http://translatewiki.net/</a> - please follow the instructions there<br>
to become a translator.<br>
<br>
== User interface developers needed ==<br>
<br>
If you are a PHP developer with JavaScript/CSS experience, your help<br>
in improving the user interface experience (by improving the CSS or<br>
adding AJAX features) would be appreciated. Just check out a fresh<br>
copy of the MediaWiki code and the FlaggedRevs code and get started:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion" target="_blank">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion</a><br>
<a href="http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs" target="_blank">http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs</a><br>
<br>
If you need committer access to our version control system, please<br>
e-mail <commitaccess at wikimedia dot org>, attaching your SSH key and<br>
desired username as per the above link.<br>
