If you want to know how Flagged Revisions feels from an unprivileged position, go to Wikinews and fix typos. I just did this on http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Geelong_win_2009_Australian_Football_League_Grand_Final - check the history. I'm not an admin or reviewer on en:wn.
What did it feel like? Curiously unsatisfying. The fix not going live immediately left me wondering just when it would - five minutes/? An hour? A day? It felt nothing like editing a wiki - it felt like I'd submitted a form to a completely opaque bureaucracy for review at their leisure. Don't take my word for it - go typo-fixing on Wikinews and tell me how it feels to you. So, yeah. I remain a big fan of flagged revisions for those times when we need it - basically, as a less-worse alternative to protection or semiprotection. But it really does kill the wiki motivational buzz dead. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
