I have finished updating (well: rewriting) the article validation feature for the current development software version (1.5), to a point where all essential functions work. I'll do some prettyfication (is that a word?) later, or wait for someone else to do it ;-)

Is there a 1.5 test site to demonstrate it? I know 1.5 is still considered insecure, but we'll need a test site at some point for actual living users to beat the bits out of it...

Tech howto follows: Run "patch-validate.sql" to update the table schema. Set "$wgUseValidation=true" in LocalSettings. Enjoy. Caveats: * Currently PHPTal only * The old (1.4) code is still in SpecialValidate.php, but commented out * Currently every logged-in user can both validate and set topics for validation. At least the latter has to be severly restricted in a live version, as deletion of a topic will delete all data associated with the topic as well.
