--- Comment #8 from Melancholie <[email protected]> 2008-12-14 04:21:30 UTC --- @P. Birken: A good software doesn't hide its features; it offers them (smoothly). Nobody looks into the HTML source to find gimmicks that are hidden by CSS classes (in this case it even had been JS/CSS). Nobody will know of that else; and on the other hand hiding/disabling something locally is easy. People have to comment why they are unsighting a revision. Furthermore "sighting" is the lowest level FaggedRevs offers, and thus perfect for article/revision tagging for external/special purpose use. You maybe do not use article tagging on dewiki, but like on enwiki and others articles/revisions are tagged for some purposes. The problem is that currently you have to edit (change) an article there for being able to give a summary. Furthermore you have to filter for 'trusted users'. With FlaggedRevs this gets smoother and more inherent. OK, now someone could ask: Where can I see those 'tags'? Regrettably there is no free space on history pages for that, but 'tags' are meant for scripts/bots (to produce a DVD/CD etc.), so its enough when it's just in the linked log (although it's missing in XML dumps yet, but see bug 16546 for that). On dewikt we are even considering to comment a sighting if someone else shall please look into an undetermined exotic translation afterwards for example (only for basic correctness (shouldn't state "f***" ;-), for detailed correctness there will be the 'reviewed versions' of course, but that's another story), because no single person speaks *all* languages. Wiktionaries e.g. are much more complex than Wikipedias. FlaggedRevs could have the potential to make cooperation/coordination much easier there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
