As requested, here's the weekly Flagged Protection update.

The loose-end tidying and rollout prep proceeds apace. This week's rollout prep includes preparing for an emergency rollback, something that we don't expect will be necessary but for which we nonetheless need to be ready.

We've been working diligently on the text, which is a key component of the user interface. You can see the enwiki-specific parts of that here:

As part of that text work, we are also, as readers of these lists know, considering changing the name of the English Wikipedia deployment from Flagged Protection to something more easily comprehended by the general public. If you'd like to weigh in on the many options, here's the place:

The main thing standing between us and being able to give a release date is some trouble with part of the UI. If you're a HTML & CSS guru, we could use your help:

We also fixed a bug this week. Thanks to Sonia, who found and reported that bug. Want to emulate her? Start here:

To see the upcoming work, it's listed in our tracker, under Current and Backlog:

We expect to release to labs again next week, and each week thereafter until this goes live on the English Wikipedia.
