I think he was referring to the Page Curation <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_Curation> tool which I know for a fact was created in direct response to ACTRIAL because one of the big complaints was the difficulty with patrolling new pages. While I wasn't directly involved it was one of the first software products I remember (either as a community member or staff member) the Foundation trying to engage closely with the community throughout it's development to create something that would work well. I also think it was the first product with a Community Liaison (who, incidentally, had been the most active page patroller for multiple years before as a community member). _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
