So.
What's up with Special:Validate?
It's on my list for this week, I'll
see about getting it turned on and
working.
I'm tweaking, fixing, and reworking various bits of it (display
formatting fixes, better code reuse, using revision IDs instead of
unreliable timestamps in places, etc).
Will try to have it ready to try out tomorrowish.
Between the image server and still unpacking furniture I haven't quite finished
the validation stuff yet. Unfortunately I'm still finding some XSS-style
security holes (which could eg be used to compromise a sysop account by sending
them to a specially-crafted link which uses JavaScript to perform actions on the
wiki under their behalf).
So it definitely won't be going live until I've done a thorough security review
as well as fixing up the revision stuff.
Also, there's been some muttering that turning this on will warrant/require a
press release or some other sort of big publicity. I currently can't give any
specific date for having it done or for turning it on once its ready. Sighhhhhhh...
