Hi, I'm a newcomer to the developers group. I uploaded in the branch SHOW_VERIFIED a modified version of MediaWiki where I added a new feature. This wants to be an alternative to the page protection. I added a verify/unverify button: 'verify' sets the current revision (or the one indexed by oldid) as the verified one for that page. This means that any user can edit the page, but the new revisions are not shown (though they can be accessed through the hystory, where the currently 'verified' revision is shown in bold characters) until a sysop 'verifies' it again. 'unverify', of course, removes this protection.

If anyone wants to test it, after setting the wiki up, it's sufficient to add "$wgEnableVerify = true;" to LocalSettings.php. Any suggestion is welcome.
