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
