[Foundation-l] Important new edit patrolling features available> To: Wikimedia
Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>> > > As of
today, the "FlaggedRevs" extension is available to any wiki> community that
wishes to use it. FlaggedRevs is a tool for patrolling> changes, identifying high
quality article versions, and changing the> default version shown to unregistered
users. It's highly configurable.> As such, we're making it available in two
configurations:> > 1) A minimally intrusive "patrolling"
configuration;> 2) Custom configurations per your request.> > == Who needs this
feature and where can I see it? ==> > Larger wiki communities will probably benefit
more from the use of> this feature than smaller ones. If you have problems keeping
vandalism> in check, and/or want to experiment with new ways to identify high>
quality content, you should look into this functionality.> > You can see an English
language demo installation of the feature at:>
http://en.labs.wikimedia.org/> >
The feature is in production use on the German Wikipedia:>
http://de.wikipedia.org/>
> The German Wikipedia uses a custom configuration where the most recent>
vandalism-patrolled version, if any, is shown to unregistered users.> You can track the
progress of their use of the patrolling feature> here:> >
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~aka/cgi-bin/reviewcnt.cgi?lang=english> > == Patrolling
Configuration ==> > In the Patrolling Configuration, any user who has been
registered for> more than 21 days and has made at least 150 edits will be>
automatically given the permission to patrol changes for vandalism.> Only changes made
by users who are not permitted to patrol changes> need to be patrolled.> > In
addition, sysops will be given the permission to flag versions of> "featured
articles" in accordance with existing nomination processes.> (In other words, this
gives you the ability to identify specific> _versions_ of an article as
"featured", rather than the article as a> whole.) Finally, sysops will be
permitted to define on a per-page> basis that changes need to be patrolled before being
visible to> unregistered readers. This is an alternative to semi-protection; it>
doesn't make sense to use both on a given page.> > The use of these features is
subject to policies that your wiki> community will need to develop. They should be used
carefully until> such a policy is in place.> > To activate the patrolling
configuration,> > 1) File a request on
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ of type>
"enhancement", component "site request". You may need to create a>
BugZilla account to do this.> > 2) Title your request "Enable FlaggedRevs
Patrolling Configuration on> (my project name)".> > 3) Post a link to your
BugZilla request to your project's "Village> pump" and mailing list, if
available.> > If there are no objections on the BugZilla page, the request will
be> considered valid after 7 days. (It may still take a while longer to> process
it.)> > == Custom Configurations ==> > The FlaggedRevs extension is highly
flexible in its configuration. We> are willing to accommodate custom requests. Since
some configurations> of FlaggedRevs could be considered highly disruptive, the
requirements> are somewhat higher.> > 1) Read about the configuration options
at:>
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs> and experiment with the
live demo at:>
http://en.labs.wikimedia.org/> > 2) Create a page in the
"Project:" namespace (e.g. "Wikipedia:",> "Wikibooks:")
of your wiki community describing the configuration you> want to use.> > 3)
Create a BugZilla request as above, titled "Enable FlaggedRevs> custom
configuration on (my project name)" pointing to the proposal> page you have
created. Provide an English translation of all relevant> information if possible - or
we may not be able to help you.> > 4) Post a link to your proposal and to the
BugZilla request to the> various relevant channels of your wiki community, e.g.
"village pump",> mailing list.> > If there are no objections within 14
days, your request will be> considered valid. If there are objections, please try
building> consensus. If necessary, you can also resort to a poll (a very large>
majority, at least two thirds, is generally necessary).> > Note that custom
configurations will take longer to process, and might> sit in the technical support
queue for several weeks.> > Our developers will _only_ look at the information
attached to the> BugZilla request, so please make sure that everything relevant is
at> least linked from there.> > == Translators needed ==> > The user
interface of the FlaggedRevs extension needs to be translated> into as many languages
as possible. The extension can be localized> using
http://translatewiki.net/ - please
follow the instructions there> to become a translator.> > == User interface
developers needed ==> > If you are a PHP developer with JavaScript/CSS experience,
your help> in improving the user interface experience (by improving the CSS or>
adding AJAX features) would be appreciated. Just check out a fresh> copy of the
MediaWiki code and the FlaggedRevs code and get started:> >
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion>
http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs> > If you need committer access to
our version control system, please> e-mail <commitaccess at wikimedia dot org>,
attaching your SSH key and> desired username as per the above link.> > -->
