In my wiki when user without high permissions create a new page this page is unreviewed so next edits aren't reviewed. Is it possible to set up that every new page create by user automatically has stable version?

Why would it be good? The goal of FlaggedRevs is to have all edits manually flagged—it includes page creations. (Of course it doesn’t refer to “high permissions”, i.e. at least autoconfirmed users, whose edits to flagged pages are always flagged—again regardless of whether it’s a page creation or a normal edit.)

You are right but when user without autoconfirmed perimissions created a new page and wrote content, reviewer can't reject this revision only accept. So it is possible to set up that first automatically stable version of new page is blank page and all content which user wrote will be pending changes?

We use this extension on the Hungarian Wikipedia, and the general rule is that a reviewer should flag the revision (while reverting or tagging it if not correct). The technical equivalent of reverting at new pages is speedy deletion (for non-sysops it’s of course marking for speedy, while flagging it). Why would be the stable version a never-existed one?

Is there a way to hide the new pages until they aren't revised?

Tacsipacsi (talkcontribs)

Currently there isn't. How do you think it (i.e. what would anonymous users see instead of the article; what would be the color of links pointing to such articles, red or blue)? Or what do you mean under "hiding" of these articles?

P.gibellini (talkcontribs)

This is a good question. A new page created by a normal user at the moment is immediately visible to all the users (with the flag of "to be revised", of course).

Perhaps it could be added a parameter in LocalSettings.php in order to choose wether show the page as in current version of FlaggedRevs or to show instead a simple placeholder (something like "This is a new page and needs to be revised"). I'd not bother to change the colors of the links.

Thank you for clearing your conception. (I don't know if anyone's going to implement it.)
