Extension talk:Approved Revs

Bug in combination with PageForms
When a regular user creates a page for the first time, it is unapproved. If the user follows the link to the newest, but unapproved version of the page, there is not formedit button, just the source edit.

The same procedure for an admin user (with autoapprove rights) is working fine. After creating a page, you are redirected to the form immediately when hitting edit.

These are the settings: $egApprovedRevsAutomaticApprovals = true; $egApprovedRevsShowApproveLatest = true; $egApprovedRevsBlankIfUnapproved = true;

I don't know if this has to be taken care of in PageForms or ApprovedRevs (or both). Krabina (talk) 09:39, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Since the link to an unapproved page is &oldid= this is probably more a PF issue?


 * Are you basically saying that, if "oldid" is in the URL query string, "edit with form" doesn't show up? Yaron Koren (talk) 13:33, 6 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, I guess this is what is happening. Krabina (talk) 10:44, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, actually, looking at this again, I think the issue is the "blank if unapproved" setting. If the page is unapproved and thus blank, it doesn't belong to any categories or officially contain any templates. So, unless you are doing namespace-based forms, there will be no form attached to the page - could that be it? Yaron Koren (talk) 13:45, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No. The users use PageForms to create a page, the resulting page also belongs to a category. However, unless someone else approves the page, the second "edit" will not lead to the form again, but to the source view. Once a page is approved, the form is working as it should. For users with autoapprove rights, also creating a new page and then editing is working as expected. --Krabina (talk) 10:15, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't understand - you have "blank if unapproved" set, and this is an unapproved page, so won't this page be blank, and thus belong to no categories? Yaron Koren (talk) 13:19, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. So a user would have to click on "view latest version" first and then on edit to come back to the form. This is not very intuitive. If a regular user creates a new page, saves it and clicks on edit, he/she should be brougt back to the form. For other users, this page might not be shown, because it has no approved version (yet). But for the user who created it, I guess it is not intuitive to first click on the most recent version.
