I am not sure the top revision will be sighted most of the time. So we could
still see many pages with no 'edit' tab. In the standard UI, editing is
conveyed in the message. For the .de one, something is needed to make it
clear that you can edit. Maybe a 'draft' tab would help for these cases?

Hiho,
I have one minor and two major points:
i) Minor: When browsing through the version history, I think the
status of that version should show.
ii) Major: Currently, when there is a quality version, this overrides
a younger sighted version. This is not as it was planned and since
quality versions do not scale, this would lead to readers seeing
usually rather outdated versions of articles. I think that the value
of quality versions is mostly as a tool of going systematically
through our article base and for those who want to reuse our content.
It might be, that for example WikiSource or WikiNews might find the
current setting useful, but I don't think that this is a good idea for
Wikipedia.
iii) Major: When the current version is sighted, an IP still does not
see the edit button. This is a major restriction for IPs and is
factually something like "IPs cannot edit here anymore". While not
fundamentally opposed to this, this is a very deep topic and it is in
my opinion not this extension that should answer this. Either we do
not want IPs to edit, than we should shut them down, but please not
via a backdoor from an extension that is about different things. So,
please make it so that IPs see an edit button when the current version
is sighted.
Bye,
Philipp
