Both the number and the size of the dimensions is customizable - hu.wikipedia, for example, uses a single dimension with three settings (unreviewed, sighted, featured). There is a meta-dimension with pre-set levels (in the old version: none, sighted, quality, pristine) which is the one taken into account for access permissions/which version to show. How it depends on the manually set dimensions is again customizable; eg. you can set the sighted means accuracy>=1, accessibility>=1, neutrality>=2. Or (which is, I think, what most wikis did) you can have a single manually set dimension with names like "sighted" and have the hardcoded dimension mirror its value. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
