with apologies for re-vitalising a slightly old thread -I have a couple of follow ups, which it'd be great to try and make some progress on.... My understanding is that Aaron (whom I haven't 'met' - so hello!) has completed work on a test configuration of flagged revisions - I hope it's appropraite for me to ask directly on this list whether or not Aaron considers this development complete? (my understanding is that the extension is pretty much ready to go?) There is understandably considerable interest in the timeframe for installing flagged revisions, I would hope it would be a positive step to set some timeframes a bit tighter than 'hopefully by wikimedia' ;-) - is this list an appropriate context for such discusison, and if so (hopefullly)
- could someone appropriately empowered flesh out the next steps a bit more,
and maybe try and establish a timetable of sorts? My intention in posting about this every so often is to ensure that such an important development doesn't sort of slip through the cracks - I think communication on this matter has to date been ok, but not great - it'll be cool to improve it a bit :-) cheers, Peter, PM.
The implementations depend on a per wiki basis depending on consensus, for example, wikinews and a few others such as the German Wikipedia already run it.
The en.wiki is currently also looking at a slightly modified version nicked named "Flagged Protections" which is basically designed to work the same way protection does, articles are only covered by it when protected to a certain level.
