No, the current proposal is a conservative starting point. It is a proposal to a) get Flagged Revisions turned on and b) give the community a chance to see what it's like to use flagging in live content situation. The proposal is designed so that the scope of flagging can be adjusted easily through policy, rather than software, changes. If the community agrees, after testing out flagged protection for the trial period, that more articles should be protected (say, all BLPs), then all it requires is consensus to change the scope of protection policy. Support probably exists to use flagging more aggressively in the future, but most editors want to take it one step at a time (or are willing to go slowly for the sake of others who want to take it one step at a time). -Sage (User:Ragesoss) _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
