Due to a suggestion (forgot from whom, though...) the Tasks extension can now automatically create a task for a newly created article. This can be configured separately for article creations by logged-in users and anons (should we allow that again). Major advantages of this mechanism over the "new pages patrol" are

• tasks are not forgotten, even if noone checked the page for days or

month

• tasks can be closed by logged-in users, so patrols can focus on

unchecked (new) articles

P.S.: Thanks to Brion and Hashar for fixes and improvements!

Does this mean it might be active in the near future? :-D

This would also help with making Wikinews a bit more workflow-like, wouldn't it? Which would avoid unnecessary software forking.
