Any thoughts on how we could achieve that? Maybe a splash screen on Potlatch when it detects a user starting it who has no edits? Or is this already done (I can't remember to be honest). Is it time to have a 'white list' of trusted editors onto which one gets automatically after making a certain number of edits over at least a certain amount of time unless ones talk page is marked with a dispute in which case one promotion to white list is delayed? Until that time one may be restricted from doing certain things (such as doing major deletes) and tools can highlight 'changes made by new editors that you might want to check' etc. It will also be possible to monitor the minutely feeds to spot potentially damaging edits almost as they occur. This parallels how Wikipedia works. Even without official blessing it would be possible for someone to create and maintain such a list and make it available to tool providers.

Luckily as well as the deletions they'd added one new way (which caused it to show up there).
