Excellent. How is trusted status allocated? Is it a positive decision to set the flag, or a sort of "super-autoconfirmed" status that gets doled out based on X many edits over Y time period?
So far the right can be given (and taken) by admins. Some sort of "super-autoconfirmed" status was active for a while but we (don't ask me who exactly) asked to inactivate that due to numerous complaints because the limitation was rather low (30 edits + 30 days + some minor stuff AFAIR). At the moment (the more or less) consensus is 200 edits (in main space) and 2 month, that are all users who have the right to vote in RFAs, so it is at least easy to check cause we have s script for that. But that limit might change since we have a lot of discussion going on about that on numerous pages and it is really hard to get an overview. I think it is almost impossible to go more into detail without spreading rumors. The 200/2 limit is what admins use at the moment so it might be safe to say that this would be the upper limit.
Maybe it would be a good idea to give it and the German community some time (at least a week or two) and see how things work, please be patient. Flagged revs won't chance the wiki world instantaneously ;-)
