patrolling
"$wgUseRCPatrol is enabled with the extension. Flagged revisions are marked as patrolled. Sysop patrolling and autopatrolling is disabled. This will mean that the only way to patrol a revision to to tag it as stable. If you have any custom groups with patrol rights, you may want to give them editor rights instead. The advantage is that patrolled edits will always correlate with a reviewed revision."

This is unclear (or perhaps I'm dense). So full diff patrolling is turned on, but then replaced by flaggedrevs? What happens for wikis with only patrolling of new pages? The cited advantage of using stable versions instead of patrolling is not really an advantage, as we do not want patrolled pages to necessarily be reviewed. Sighted, perhaps, but only if sighted versions are not shown be default (users should see the most recent revision, or something higher than sighted). OTOH, maybe I'm misunderstanding how patrolling and flaggedrevs interact here. Mike.lifeguard 20:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
