BLPs smell like sewers. Flagged revisions have been promised for years now. 'Nuff said.

We, the undersigned, demand that Flagged revisions are rolled out[1] without further delay

  22. Long past time. Although after reading Werdna's talkpage note, this would appear to be a case of the dev's needing more time to code things. In which case, many thanks for all their work, and I look forward to seeing this rolled out Bfigura (talk) 16:36, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  40. Not holding my breath... Achromatic (talk) 18:46, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Since this is apparently being worked on by the devs, I presume any further delay is due to the need to get the code right. So better to delay it than to implement something that's going to break.--Kotniski (talk) 17:35, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, the wmf has a dev working on it who's on "exam break" which does not smack of them prioritising it. If they need to put more resources in, this petition should encourage them. I'm happy with an oppose section here - but I can't see why anyone would oppose unless they are asking for continued delays, but ymmv.--Scott Mac (Doc) Flagged Now! 17:39, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I could support it if it were phrased a bit differently (it would also help if you clarified what form of FR you're asking for).--Kotniski (talk) 17:47, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    My impression was to enable it for the two month trial, which seemed to have support. But I could be mistaken. --Bfigura (talk) 17:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    We are asking for the feature to be developed for the software. How it is to be used or tweaked is another discussion altogether.--Scott Mac (Doc) Flagged Now! 17:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Well the feature is developed - I've seen it in action on other sites. But I understand the devs are working on certain tweaks to it that will make it compatible with what was decided here at English WP (as described under the link that you wouldn't let me put in). --Kotniski (talk) 17:57, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps the term "rolled out" could be expanded upon (in a footnote or something) to clarify this. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to be entirely clear (at least to those of us less familiar with the ins and outs of mediawiki) what the petition is asking for? --Bfigura (talk) 18:02, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  3. This isn't the way to solve the BLP problem. My experience with it as a good-faith IP on de.wiki has been negative and it goes directly against our principles of open editing and the "you can change this page right now" atmosphere. Flagged protection may be ok, flagged revisions are not. ThemFromSpace 18:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Please help publicise this petition.

Notes

  1. ^ We are asking the this mediawiki extention be enabled on en-wiki. This is not a request for implementing a new policy on en-wiki, merely the ability to allow the community to do so, if it so chooses.
