*nod* Part of the infrastructure for AbuseFilter was adding a tag marker system for edits and log entries, so filters can tag an event as potentially needing more review. (This is different from say Flagged Revisions, which attempts to mark up a version of a page as having a certain overall state -- it's a *page* thing; here individual actions can be tagged based only on their own internal changes, so similar *events* happening anywhere can be called up in a search for human review.) It would definitely be useful to allow readers to provide similar feedback, much as many photo and video sharing sites allow visitors to flag something as 'inappropriate' which puts it into a queue for admins to look at more closely. So far we don't have a manual tagging interface (and the tag-filtering views are disabled pending some query fixes), but the infrastructure is laid in. :) -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
