Extension:PageTriage

PageTriage is an extension that aims to provide a feature-rich interface for triaging newly-created articles.

It is intended to replace the new page patrol core function while adding additional functionality for reviewing, tagging, and improving new articles.

It adds a Special:NewPagesFeed page, and a page curation toolbar to new pages for those with the 'patrol' permission.

It was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's engineering>Wikimedia_Features_engineering|Features Engineering team.

For additional details see curation>Page Curation|Page Curation.

An important note is that some of the configuration and code is specific to the English-language Wikipedia's workflows and as it's constructed now the extension is pretty much impossible to internationalize.

(See 48552.)

Installation
To actually see the extension working:


 * Add a new stub page as an anonymous user.


 * Visit Special:NewPagesFeed

the new page should appear, flagged as "", "", etc.

To see the page curation toolbar:


 * Login as a user with the 'sysop' permission, or add a group with the "help>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolled_edits|patrol" permission, and add some user to that group, and login as that user.


 * Visit Special:NewPagesFeed


 * Now you should see a "" button next to the new page.


 * Click this and you should see the page curation toolbar on the new page.

Extension configuration
The extension is based on the 'patrol' right.

For more information about configuring patrolling, see .

The following configuration variables can be set from your LocalSettings.php file:


 * $wgPageTriagePagesPerRequest: Maximum number of articles for Special:NewPagesFeed to retrieve at once (default is 20)
 * $wgPageTriageInfiniteScrolling: Whether or not to use infinite scrolling in the page list (default is true)
 * $wgPageTriageMarkPatrolledLinkExpiry: How long (in seconds) after visiting Special:NewPagesFeed do we show the curation toolbar on articles? (default is 86400 (1 day))
 * $wgPageTriageNoIndexUnreviewedNewArticles: Set this to true if new, unreviewed articles should be set to noindex. In other words, if they should not be indexed by search engines until they are reviewed. (default is false)

See PageTriage.php for the full list of config variables.

On-wiki configuration
It is possible to configure much of PageTriage on-wiki via the pages MediaWiki:PageTriageExternalDeletionTagsOptions.js and MediaWiki:PageTriageExternalTagsOptions.js</>, although documentation for such configuration has not been written and the structure of the configuration for deletion tagging may change in the future (to better accommodate wikis besides English Wikipedia).

You can get a general idea of how the configuration works by looking at ext.pageTriage.defaultTagsOptions.js and ext.pageTriage.defaultDeletionTagsOptions.js in the PageTriage extension. See English Wikipedia's MediaWiki:PageTriageExternalDeletionTagsOptions.js and MediaWiki:PageTriageExternalTagsOptions.js for examples.
