Hi all,
i`m looking for a way to implement an "aging" mechanism for documents/articles to indicate the assumed reliability of the content as part of a quality management process:
- a new document/article has the 'reliability' status 'green' - after a three months without changes it turns to 'yellow' and after half an year to 'red' and has to be 'verified'.
I`m thinking about using the 'talkpage' for this process and now i`m looking for the neccessary hooks to set this up.
My current ideas are to either: a) dynamic: search for a 'signature' containing a timestamp on the talkpage for each document/article and show the appropiate status each time the document/article is shown.
b)static: use a bot like pybot to do nightly checks (eg, using special:ancientpages) and change a template on all documents/articles where appropiate. (btw: anyone using pybot or another bot for an intranet wiki? can`t get it to work :( )
Are there better ways to do this? Has someone perhaps already implemented a similar solution?
many thanks, dwe
