- Almost every corner of the GUI in Wikipedia is used either by usual
MediaWiki features or some custom JavaScript/CSS (and they differ between various projects). You simply don't want to touch this and probably b0rk a lot of custom stuff.
There are a number of places to insert extra stuff: content actions, toolbox, page caption [although perhaps that's not flexible enough], footer, message boxes stuck anywhere you like. If existing customizations are fragile enough to be b0rkable, then that's the fault of their authors and it's the customizations that will have to be fixed.
- Differrent Wikipedias want different types of FlaggedRevs. de.wikipedia
wants a super-simple two level flagging with one flag . . . en.wikipedia in contrast (at least Erik and others) opted for a more extensive flagging system . . .
Then a minimal number of parts of the system should vary according to the number of levels available, if this is the issue, and everything else should remain identical between the two. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you and that's all that's been done? Are there screenshots available of the interfaces?
