Aaron,
Not sure if the mail I got this morning means FlaggedRevs is enabled on en.Wikinews, but I want to check up on a few little details and make sure we're ready to go with it.
In the mess of nested templates that make up our front page, we have the following code to keep the latest news at the top of the main page.
{{Wikinews:{{#time:Y/F/j|+1 days}}}}
{{Wikinews:{{#time:Y/F/j}}}}
In the page that causes today's stories to be listed, we have the following:
<DynamicPageList>
category=Published
category=August 5, 2008
notcategory=Disputed
notcategory=No publish
suppresserrors=true
</DynamicPageList>
This is bot generated (I could grumble about how it didn't used to be - but will count my blessings instead).
Google tells me http://semeb.com/dpldemo/DPL:Manual is the DPL manual, but I see no mention of the FlaggedRevs indication there.
What I expect is that the DPL that CalendarBot creates will need an extra parameter, something like "flag=Quality". Since I'll need to chase up getting this mod done, can you tell me what the revised DPL would look like?
Also, the request I submitted was for sighted plus quality. The idea is quality on the main page and sighted on the less-trafficked Portals (Eg http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Portal:Science_and_technology).
The DPL there is as follows,
<DynamicPageList>
category=published
category=Science and technology
count=10
suppresserrors=true
addfirstcategorydate=true
</DynamicPageList>
How would this change to only show sighted revisions?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer this, and - again - thanks for being so fast to update DPL.

google lies! (oh nose!). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is the manual for DPL2. (there are three versions of the dpl extention floating arround out there, we use the simplist (usually called DynamicPageList 0.9 or the intersection extention, I think - don't quote me on that). Its manual is somewhere in mediawiki wiki (and [[WN:DPL]])
I believe [[user:Amgine]] may be willing to help make the nessesary mods to the dpl extention
cheers, -bawolff
