--- Comment #2 from Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> 2012-11-13 18:46:23 UTC --- Thanks, Matthias! Please let us know when it's merged and ready for testing. You make a reasonable point about the benefits of letting readers access this feedback page as well. Normally, I would not hesitate to do this, but we are hearing concerns from editors that the tool is increasing their workload by forcing them to moderate the comments. One counter-argument we have been making is that they do not have to moderate, because the feedback page is not being promoted to the general public. This counter-argument would lose its strength if we started promoting the feedback page to readers on article pagess, making it a lot more visible than on the talk page. We will discuss this tough trade-off on Wednesday's project review. A possible compromise could be to not show 'All comments' to readers unless they register. To answer your first question, I agree that this new link is almost the same as the talk page link, with the exception of whether or not readers get to see it. For now, we may want to keep them separate until we resolve the issue above. I like your idea of letting readers know that that they get more powerful feedback moderation tools after registering an account. This is something we may want to do if we determine that we want to encourage more reader moderation in the All-comments page. To be continued after we get to test your first implementation and get more input on the issues above. Thanks again for moving forward on this! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
