Talk:Pending Changes enwiki trial/Roadmap

Changes to this list
Hi everyone...I'd prefer getting comments here rather than on the list. After a discussion here where the outcome is clear, feel free to put the outcome on the main page. Thanks! -- RobLa-WMF 00:18, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Explanation
I worked on the closure discussion, and can tell you what I think these were about. Ocaasi 06:12, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Easy

 * Better links to documentation on PC related specialpages
 * The review page could have links to Help documentation, reviewer guidelines, and PC policy pages.


 * Incorporate the PC protection rationale (protection log message) into the review screen as instruction to the reviewer
 * Make the protection rationale visible (currently it's click-to-expand). That way Reviewers could see up front if PC was in use for Vandalism, BLP, edit warring, etc.  Helps alert them to the 'type' of problematic edits, particularly more subtle kinds.


 * Add short reviewer instructions to the review page
 * Just a summary of how to review. Depends on policy discussions about reverting vandalism or also poor edits.  Currently could just include the reviewer guidelines writ small.


 * Quick link to Pending Changes specialpages
 * Easy access from the sidebar, or other common locations (not sure where).


 * Notification of PCs on your watchlist
 * Watchlisted articles with PC would be flagged/starred/tagged/highlighted, so editors can choose to avoid them, or know what they're getting into (like on the Recent Changes log), possibly implemented already.

Info

 * Different logo for PC/Reviewers
 * There was a discussion at PC/Feedback to use a different logo: a magnifying glass, a check mark, or something other than the current version.


 * Make page protection log more visible (reviewing depends on protection reason, but it's hidden by default) Is this the same as "Incorporate the PC protection rationale (protection log message) into the review screen as instruction to the reviewer."?
 * Yes, that's the same as above.

Substantial

 * Less edit clutter
 * Also see Talk:Pending_Changes_enwiki_trial/Reversion_collapsing, for a link to a userscript that does this.
