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)

Special:QualityOversight:

Fatal error: Class 'LogEventsList' not found in ...\extensions\FlaggedRevs\FlaggedRevsPage.php on line 1461

 * Please use a new version of MW (revision # given on extension page). Aaron 22:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you, that did it. However, Special:StablePages delivers now an empty list for me, although I have several pages marked as stable, UnreviewedPages and QualityOversight seem to work. I am using a two point rating system ([unmarked,] sighted, reviewed), configured with

$wgFlaggedRevTags = array( 'accuracy'=>2 ); $wgFlaggedRevValues = 2; $wgFlaggedRevPristine = 2;
 * Any ideas what might be wrong?


 * Btw, thank you for this great extension, it's exactly what I needed!!! --92.195.50.177 13:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * "StablePages" is for pages where the settings were changed by admins. They are not ordinary pages with stable versions. Also, note that QualityOversight is not retroactive though. The way the logs are stored was changed slightly in order to make it. Aaron 15:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I found out why I was missing my reviewedpages -list: the german translation uses 'Markierte Seiten' for both 'reviewedpages' and 'stablepages', thereby displaying only the first one in the special pages listing. I changed 'stablepages' to 'Manuell markierte Seiten' and now everything works as before. --92.195.29.162 15:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

$wgUseStableTemplates
I think I have configured things as intended but have a situation that seems to break the logic. If I use a template to translude the contents of another page (the sub page) into a page (the master page) and both are set for reviewing things seem to get confused in the list of previous versions for the master page

I create the masterpage and the sub page, and transclude the sub page in the master page, I've set $wgUseStableTemplates true so that when I review the master page I get the approved version of the sub page. The system is set so the non logged in people see the stable version

Basically if any entry from the list of previously approved versions of the master page is selected, it shows the currently approved version of the sub page rather than the version of the subpage approved at the time when the master page was approved, which is logically what I'd want, ie what did the master page look like when it was approved on that date.

 * You don't want that setting then. It is for approving templates and having that trickle down to pages, rather than approving pages, and then having that trickle down to all other pages that use the templates. Aaron 14:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * OK so the $wgUseStableTemplates works so that even if I am viewing a 'reviewed' page, an included template in that page will be updated to a later stable version of the template, e.g if I'm using the template to display a site message, if I change the site message all the pages containing it get updated to the later message including all the reviewed on and any in the historical list


 * I've tried switching it off but now when I go to the master page to review it, because I am in the Editors Group (which sees & edits unapproved pages) the master page contains the latest version of the subpage, irrespective of whether it is approved or not and when I approve the master page this unapproved text appears, rather than the approved version of the sub page. what I in effect need is a way to say when looking at a page that transcludes text from another page that has an approval, only show the approved text on that page, but once that master page has been approved it shoudl ignore changes to the subpage approved or otherwise.


 * To put this in context we are using the system to contain Policy & Procedure Documents and use transcuded pages to allow granularity and for a sub section of one policy to appear in other policy eg. 'paying an invoice' is held once but may appear as an inclusion in a number of different master pages, if the finance department is working a newer version of the 'paying an invoice' page, then if the transport department want to approve a process that includes 'paying an invoice' we need the current approved one not the part completed new version finance are working on. I don't have a problem with making transport 're-approve' their pages to include the new version of the 'paying an invoice' once finance release it, (this is good change management) we can use 'what links here' to pages that transclude the subpage


 * thanks Tarlachmoorhouse 07:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Magic word to exclude a specific page from being reviewed
is it possible to have a magic word such as __NOREVIEW__ which when inserted into a page would stop the review widgit and the review status top bar from appearing on that page.

PHP fatal error bugs
I'm using Mediawiki 1.12.0 and FlaggedRevs 1.04 and I'm getting the following fatal errors:
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method OutputPage::appendSubtitle in /var/www/ /website/extensions/FlaggedRevs/FlaggedArticle.php on line 92
 * PHP Fatal error: Class 'LogEventsList' not found in /var/www/ /website/extensions/FlaggedRevs/FlaggedRevsPage.php on line 1638, referer: http:// /index.php/Special:Specialpages

Why are you targeting at the beta MediaWiki instead of the stable version? I'ts not a better idea to target the stable version and add new feature only once the next stable version is released? Nicolaasuni 10:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a new extension. For a version for 1.12, you can go here Aaron 00:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

CSS Errors
CSS files contains some errors, please use W3C CSS validator before publishing (i.e. "no-wrap" must be "nowrap"). Nicolaasuni 10:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This was fixed recently. Aaron 00:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Enabling this extension at a Wikimedia wiki?
Some time ago there was an announcement that this extension was working on de.wikipedia, and that other individual wiki projects could request it at bugzilla.

At bugzilla, though, I see no evidence that any wiki has recently requested it, nor do I find a "help" page anywhere explaining in simple terms what settings need to be specified for such a request.

So it is currently possible to request enabling this feature for Wikimedia wikis? Is there any available model for how to make such a request correctly?

At he.wikisource.org we have already confirmed our request through a community vote. Are there any other specific features we need to add? Dovi 05:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Is README Obsolete? Missing update.php and populatesha1.php from Snapshot
Hi, I'm trying to add FlaggedRevs to an MW1.12 wiki. I downloaded the snapshot listed for MW1.12 (r31252) and am trying to discern my way past two significant discrepancies in the documentation:

1. The readme instructs the user to run maintenance/update.php. There is no maintenance folder present after unpacking r31252, and I do not find an update.php anywhere in the unzipped folder tree or anything named similarly.

2. The readme instructs the user to run maintenance/archives/PopulateSha1.php. There is no maintenance folder, but there is an archives folder which contains two scripts, patch-expiry-index.sql and patch_fpc-expiry.sql.

I tried downloading the latest snapshot (r36923) but come up against a similar impasse:

1. The readme instructs the user to run maintenance/update.php. There is a maintenance folder present, but it contains three different php files: ReviewAllPages.php, UpdateAutoPromote.php, and UpdateLinks.php. I have no idea whether these supercede an earlier 'update.php' (which is nowhere to be found) or if I have somehow got hold of an incomplete snapshot. If I do not wish to enable Auto Promotion, should I execute just the other two?

2. The readme instructs the user to run maintenance/archives/PopulateSha1.php. There is no such file in the maintenance/archives folder or anywhere else within the unbundled snapshot directory tree. There are five different sql patch scripts within the archives folder.

The online documentation contains the same instructions. I searched the discussion archives for this extension as well as Googling "flaggedrevs populatesha1" without coming up with any helpful clues.

Have I got hold of two bad snapshots? Am I perhaps just being dense? I am not highly experienced at moderating a wiki, nor at system-hosting in general, and I apologize in advance if my questions are ignorant. Apostleverde 21:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The "maintenance" directory is in the main mediawiki directory, not flaggedrevs. Aaron 21:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Many thanks, Aaron. I was able to deploy (unfortunately I was not able to complete the implementation.  I receive a WSOD as soon as FlaggedRevs is included in LocalSettings.  Commenting out the include, immediately eliminates the WSOD problem.  I have also had the same problem if I try to set a custom logo by adding a $wgLogo= setting to LocalSettings.  I suspect I have an issue with my Apache directory permissions setup and am still researching this.)  Thanks for the quick response to my question.  Apostleverde 18:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * (Got it working. I was trying to use the latest FlaggedRevs with MW1.12.  Updated to MW1.13.)   Aaron, thanks for the help.  Also, thanks for creating this very useful extension.  This will be invaluable as I'm using MW as an internal CMS at my company.  My compliments!  Apostleverde 15:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Can I Suppress the Review Status Bar for Key Pages (such as Main Page?)
Aaron, again thanks for all of your effort with this. I've implemented it in my company's intrawiki, and one thing I would like to do is suppress at least the review status bar for key pages such as the Main Page. Maybe I've missed this in everything I've read, and if so I apologize. Is there an easy way to do this? Obviously some form of this is implemented in Wikipedia. Regards, Apostleverde 14:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really. I'll look into it since it seems useful. Aaron 16:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
