Flagged revisions

[espresso_addict]

A recent problem has brought to my attention the fact that the fanlore wiki appears to be using flagged revisions, ie a moderator has to approve all edits before they are visible when logged out. This system (assuming I'm right that this is the explanation for my problems) seems to me profoundly unsuited for a wiki where the rate of vandalism to existing pages is almost nonexistent (nearly all vandalism appears in the form of uploading promotional images or starting promotional articles) and the pool of moderators is small/overworked. Might I suggest it be turned off?

Systems does upgrades now and then, but I know I've seen those mysterious exclamation points for a while. I should have investigated them....

In the bottom corner of new pages I haven't looked at before, I can see

[Mark this page as patrolled]

but it doesn't show up for pages that I've already looked at.

For me, the "Mark this page as patrolled' goes away as soon as I (or someone else) has made an edit to a new page.


I am learning more about some of the wiki features we don't seem to use (but are installed)

Hey, I found this:

I'm turning off Patrolled Edits, since we don't use them, and it seems silly to have buttons that confuse users that aren't used.
