Discussion

For information on what problems FlaggedRevs Extension addresses you can look into this text from wiki/foundation.

This looks fine to me currently. I suggest we double-check with Aaron Schulz what this means for our current patrolling scheme & depending on the answers tweak this or simply enable with these settings. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 00:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree with mike, I like these settings. They make a good starting point and if we find that they need tweaking later we can always do that. Getting something in place now will help us to understand the benefits and drawbacks of this extension and will help us to make more informed decisions later, if such decisions need to be made. If we do get these installed, I say we attempt to revisit the decision in about 6 months to make sure the software is meeting our needs. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 01:48, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree because this may help improve book quality and these settings are reasonable. As whiteknight said we can tweak them later if needed. --dark lama 22:16, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good to me. --Jomegat (talk) 23:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Sounds like a good addition. --AdRiley (talk) 07:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think it will be a big aid Barry (talk) 07:28, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is a long time coming. I've heard about this being in the works for some time in one form or another, and Wikibooks is a good place to try something like this out on a slightly larger scale than a test server. I agree with Whiteknight's suggestion that we come back and review this in six months to see how it is working out. --Rob Horning (talk) 05:13, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support --Panic (talk) 06:43, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I would suggest perhaps not limiting automatic promote to users with a shared ip, since some people have no choice over this and combined with the other limitations it seems somewhat excessive. But supported in general.--Varnis (talk) 21:55, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks like it would be useful. Wesley Gray (talk) 14:13, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great. --Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 02:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
