It wouldn't be too complicated, but it seems to be out of scope for the patrolling feature. Mainly because patrolling is for revisions, not pages. Assuming the latest revision for the entire page may be okay for the FlaggedRevs extension but not for core patrolling. This sounds like a great feature request for FlaggedRevs, or perhaps FlaggedPages. Another long-time proposal that seems to overlap with this a little bit is the "Special rights requests queue" extension. An extension where users can make request for certain actions to be taken that they do not want or are unauthorized to perform (page moves, user blocks, user right changes, deletions etc.) Such an extension could then hook into patrolling of core, FlaggedRevs or both to filter out ones that have pending requests for a certain action (eg. delete). The obvious conclusion is though that neither templates, categories or long pure-wikitext pages are a long-term solution to deletion requests, page moves and the like (as also concluded by Jimmy Wales' talk at Wikimania 2011). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
