Hi.
I posted this to wikien-l, but actually I meant to post it here. So here it is again.
I have just written a new feature which I hope will be useful to users interested in a Recent Changes Patrol system. I wrote:
New feature: Recent Changes Patrol. All edits and new pages are now highlighted on Special:Recentchanges and Special:Newpages until someone "marks" them as "patrolled" using a special link. For new pages, this link appears at the bottom of the article if the link in Recent Changes or New Pages is followed. For all other edits, this link appears only in the diff and only if the diff link is followed from Recent Changes. (Might need to add this functionality to Watchlist too; haven't done that yet.)THIS FEATURE IS NOT YET LIVE on the real Wikipedia (or any other project). I'm only announcing it here so that you no longer need to discuss this topic and talk about hypothetical alternatives. Maybe someone will put this feature live on a test server, and then you can have a go at it.
Great! Still, I have some questions: * Who can mark an edit as patrolled? Could this be restricted to logged-in users in some kind of 'good standing' (however defined)? * Would it be possible to get a list of only unpatrolled edits?
