The FlaggedRevs extension has been used in many of our

contrary to what's been reported in some media, the community has had
very thoughtful conversations about the ideal setup for en.wp, which
isn't going to be the same as the one used for de.wp, and we want to
make sure that the software properly supports it without causing
confusion, especially in light of our general efforts to make
Wikipedia easier to use and easier to contribute to.
In speaking to the press today, one of the things I believe I heard in an intro segment on
a live radio discussion was that WP would have professional editors flagging trusted
content. I didn't get a chance to correct that, and I know who gets to review is still
up in the air to some extent [1], but that's a likely source of confusion to the
public apparently.
