Bug ID: 42887
Summary: Extension to handle workflow for [[en:Wikipedia:Peer
review]]
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Extensions requests

I would like to request a new extension to handle the workflow for
[[en:Wikipedia:Peer review]].
Since 2007, this system has relied on a bot that I operate that fetches the
lists of pages in various categories and then re-uploads those lists to the
wiki, once an hour. The lists are then formatted by templates to make the pages
that users view when working on peer reviews.
I have typed up a full description of the current system at
[[en:Wikipedia:Peer_review/Automation]]. The Good Articles system uses the
same bot, and so the system would need to be flexible enough to handle that.
A Mediawiki extension would be able to achieve the same effect without
requiring the bot any longer. I would very much like to retire this bot task,
which was originally intended to be temporary until a better solution could be
found.
There are many ways to achieve this request, and I don't want to tie it to any
specific method. Some options include: (1) simply adding a new parserfunction
that produces the lists the bot currently produces; (2) adding an entirely new
extension to generate these lists; or (3) completely replacing the Peer review
page with a page generated by the extension, which could also help with page
size problems. The third option, if taken far enough, could also be used for
workflows like the Articles for Deletion process - but that would make it a far
larger task than the first two options.
