2009/8/27 Andrew Turvey <andrewrturvey(a)googlemail.com>om>: Inference ;-) "Thus, it is proposed to enable patrolled revisions, which uses a passive flag that reviewers can use to mark a revision patrolled, for monitoring purposes, but that has no effect on the version viewed by readers. This passive flag is available for all articles. Flagged protection is a proposal to allow administrators to enable an active flag on a given article, 'flag protecting' it. Reviewers can flag revisions, and the version viewed by readers by default on (semi) flagged protected pages is the latest confirmed revision. During the trial, semi flagged protection is intended to be used with the same requirements as for semi-protection, and full flagged protection (see below), with the same requirements as for full-protection" In short: Patrolled revisions goes on all articles; flagged protection goes on a case-by-case basis pretty much as (semi-) protection does today. There's no BLP-article specific rollout in the current plan. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk

As I thought the poll was, we were approving a trial limited in all respects to BLP only. We were also discussing a trial on one thing, not a simultaneous trial of several different proposals. in trying to see how a complicated new routine works, we should be testing either flagged revision or patrolled articles first. And if we are going to test flagged revisions,we should be testing one particular way of doing it, not three different levels at the same time. That is, assuming I correctly understand the page Wikipedia:Flagged protection and patrolled revisions, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled_rev… which is very likely to be an incorrect assumption.
