Certainly, MW could try to carry over all the previous template/image IDs
specified from the last stable revision and then re-use those to mark the
new version after editing as stable. This still has two problems:
1) New templates added in the edit would not have a specified ID, same for
images
2) Pages would have templates that get continuously out of date as people
just review on edit like this.
I suppose to avoid those, you could not only show the diff to help them see
the changes, but show
a preview of the changes. This would require some sort of "force preview"
thing, which would make the "preview before edit" user option seem kind of
silly. Also, it wouldn't be far off from justing letting people save and
then click the diff to review. I don't want people to get too hung up
reviewing things on every minor edit they make. Even if a page gets 10
edits/day, it only takes1 person every 1-2 days to keep it up to date
(unless it is documenting a current event with much info coming in, in which
case more people would be editing, so more would likely review).

2) This is complicated. You cannot review
revision without knowing the
templates/images used in it, which even with the page in edit mode and a
diff is not enough. Just parsing it and pulling it from there can review
vandalism to templates/images. Doesn't seem that bad to have to review
after
editing, since when you edit a page, it refreshes
back to the page,
which
has the tag and diff link to the last reviewed
version. This is for the
default UI...indeed the other one is more annoying about this. Perhaps
the
simply UI should be for anons only?
Mhmh, that doesn't sound good. However, I do not get the technical
problem: instead of requiring the user to save the page and then
review the change manually, shouldn't it be possible to simply perform
a specific review automatically after saving the page?
Regarding the templates: the version of templates that is shown when
editing is hardwired to the version I review, right? If that is so,
then assuming that the editor has looked at the templates and
therefore performing the review automatically seems reasonable.
Bye,
