I know I'm dropping in a bit late, and perhaps this was already handled, but while I was testing this evening, it seems to be that when a non-editor reverts a page back to the last sighted version, it still reads current.
Wouldn't it make sense that if the version reverted to is in and of itself sighted, that that should be reflected, regardless of the person performing the revision?
Or am I missing something?
Imagine that a user reverts to a year old sighted version and we mark the new version as sighted. This would result in a decreased amount of review of the edit and as a result this bad change may go unnoticed for a longer span of time. Clearly that isn't good.
What if we only preserve the flagging if they revert to the most recent? There too we may miss the chance to catch a reversion of good material. And in this case if the default view were the sighted revision it moving the pointer really wouldn't help.
Do these points convince you that the current behavior is better than your proposal?
