Summary: Separate user right to view watchlist data on special
pages
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: FlaggedRevs
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Viewing [[Special:Unreviewedpages]] and [[Special:OldReviewedpages]] requires
the 'unreviewedpages' user right. I think most of the information on those
pages should not be restricted - everything except the watchlist data is
publicly accessible through other pages anyway, and the ability to view which
pages are sighted slower helps identifying bias and increasing transparency.
Public watchlist data, however, could be sort of a security problem, as it
could be used by a clever vandal to identify easy targets (not to mention the
privacy implications).
There should exist separate rights to view these two special pages, and to see
watchlist data when viewing them - the already existing 'unwatchedpages' could
be used for the latter.
(Personally, I would give unreviewedpages right by default to all autoconfirmed
users, at the very least, but that is not the point of this request.)
