Hi everyone,
I'm preparing a patch against FlaggedRevs which includes changes that Howie
and I worked on in preparation for the launch of its deployment onto
en.wikipedia.org . We started first by creating a style guide describing
how the names should be presented in the UI:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled_rev…
Then we sat down and did the string substitution. I've got some double
checking left to do, but it's pretty much ready for deployment. I've put
the patch here for now:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23623
The original plan that Aaron and I hatched up was that I would check in the
changes into trunk, and then he would fix. However, seeing the"FlaggedRevs
- Do you forget about other projects? " thread on foundation-l gave me
pause:

We fully recognize that the strings we plan to use on
en.wikipedia.orgprobably don't make sense in a lot of different
contexts, even English
language wikis. We really want to get this release out the door, but we
don't want to leave a huge mess in the process. Is there an expedient but
correct-enough approach to solving this problem?
