User:Brian McNeil/weaknesses in Wikinews workflow


 * « Prev (Current Wikinews workflow)

To be broken out/expanded upon:
 * Requirement to manually add an "under review" template, which can easily be missed
 * No marker in-database to alert to an in-progress review
 * Fragility of EzPR
 * Does not notify main contributors of fail (or pass)
 * No locking, or alerting to a review underway
 * Unable to in any way mark text being reviewed, or carry out limited copyedit work whilst in EzPR
 * Limitation of Make Lead to the main page where associated portals may have lead templates; this tends to result in stale portals
 * Cannot, as part of review, reject completely and move to userspace (Example: a number of university journalism classes have used Wikinews; their submissions should not end up deleted if they fail to pass review in a timely manner, but be moved to the relevant student's userspace).
