As someone who patrols recent changes to our 33,000 (and rising) health sciences-related articles with a diminishing number of colleagues, one thing developers could do to help us keep that content safe would be this:
Allow us to tag the log entry of normal revisions (not pending changes/flagged revisions - no medical articles presently have flagged revisions, and none are likely to in the near future) as having been reviewed for policy/guideline compliance by a trusted editor. There are maybe a dozen regular/semi-regular med patrollers (down from about twice that number three years ago), and I'm very conscious that we aren't keeping up. If I see a revision has been reviewed by one of that dozen whom I trust, I'll (not always, but often) skip checking that revision and move on to the next unreviewed revision. This will a) save me and the others a lot of time, allowing us to cover much more ground and b) give us a handle on how thoroughly we're vetting changes to this sensitive content. Ideally, each of us that reviews a revision should be able to tag its log entry - so we can see the depth of review each revision has undergone. The board of Wiki Project Med Foundation are discussing this at the moment, and we see it as a very effective step toward safeguarding and improving our medical offering. If you could do this for us, it would be very much appreciated.
