I think we should have flagged revs for as many articles as we can keep up-to-date with. If it takes more than 5 minutes (preferably 1 minute) to review an edit (except for occasional times when somehow a backlog builds up and it takes a few minutes for people to realise and work through it), then we have failed. If we can have every single article on flagged revs and still keep on top of them, then we should do that. If we can't, then we should keep it to just a small number of articles that really need it.
de:wp manages about one third in the first hour. That's really not enough unless there's sone urgent need to stop Wikipedia newbie editing dead.
No, IMO they have failed. It should be literally 100% of edits reviews in 5 minutes the vast majority of the time. I would set a target of the lag on Special:OldReviewedPages should be less than 5 minutes 99% of the time. If we fail to reach that target, we need to reduce the number of articles we are using the extension on. I really think that is achievable though, even with every article included - we already have RC-patrollers checking most edits within a few minutes and this extension would make it much easier to avoid duplicate effort. Do any of the vandal-fighter tools (like Huggle) handle working through the OldReviewedPages in order? (We need New Page patrollers to make sure every new page gets its first review very quickly - they are usually good at keeping on top of new pages.)
