Summary: Reconfiguration of flagged revs on en.Wikibooks

In English Wikibooks, set $wgFlaggedRevsAutoReviewNew=false.
The current configuration as is created an undesirable result for the
Foundation of Education and Instructional Assessment book
(http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Education_and_Instructional_Assessment)
because a user with Editor privileges created a stub, followed by inexperienced
editors adding content to the page (as part of a class project). This created
a massive backlog in Special:OldReviewedPages, and also make it more difficult
for the new authors to review their own work (since the "stable" stub was shown
instead.)
Making this config change will:
* Prevent new pages from being auto-sighted; they need to be sited manually by
clicking on the checkbox (or by reviewing the page after it is saved.)
A more permanent measure (either by adjusting the default setting of the
variable or relegating it to preferences) may be more suitable.
The initial discussion about FlaggedRevs is here:

A current conencensus is here:
