Flaggedrevs had been designed with Wikipedia in mind.
Writing an encyclopedy article is about confronting multiple
points of view. During this process, the quality of
an article might not always improve; the purpose of
Flaggedrevs is to flag some revisions as "non draft",
while still allowing users to modify the article.
I do not think that this would be useful for Wikisource.
A decrease of quality on a wikisource article can be
agreed upon in a much more objective way. Introducing
flaggedrevs will likely result on confusion and useless
complexity.
(I am not even sure if Flaggedrevs will solve the problems
faced by wikipedia; once the community know what it really
is about, they might realize technology does not replace
expertise...)

Betreff: [Wikisource-l] Feedback and beta-testing from non-Wikipedia projects
(sorry for my English and for the crossposting)
I known that the FlaggedRevs extension is under a review stage and their
development is devoted basically to the needs from the most known
Wikimedia
project. This is ok to me, no worries on it. But since more Wikimedia
projects have users watching the development of this feature, I think that
only two future official wikis for the public beta testing is
insufficient.
Wikisource, for example, have LabeledSectionTransclusion and ProofreadPage
enabled on all of yours wikis. These extensions may have issues to work
appropriately with FlaggedRevs. Enabling these two extensions at the same
wiki devoted to the English Wikipedia beta-testing may generate some
troubles with the en.wp users that don't known how and why Wikisource have
these extensions, to exemplify with only one of the possible reactions.
Not
enabling these two extensions + FlaggedRevs at someplace may create false
hopes. And I think that knowing that issues and waiting for someone with
the
required skills to fix them when get time to work on it is more proper
instead of a community (a Wikisource wiki) gaining consensus to request
FlaggedRevs getting enabled and finding that a new nice feature brokes
another
one.
