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?
