Difference between revisions of "PeerReview"

Proposal

To have full community involvement in maintaining site quality, while at the same time minimizing risk for bad thing happening, we have established the following user permissions groups:

• AutoPatrolled, a user group which has auto patrols edits, meaning that the persons edits are automatically deemed constructive and not needing review of each one.

• SiteReviewers - gives auto patrolled folks an extra tools to help with maintaining site quality, i.e to deem an edit constructive

• peerrev - is removed (superceded by SiteReviewers

• InterWiki - people who are interested in linking the wiki world in AboutUs by maintianing the InterWiki table

• System Administrator (sysop), can make AutoPatrolled and SiteReviewers, and delete and NoBot pages

• Bureaucrats - ability to create bureaucrats and sysops, and rename users

Discussion

Currently this is called RecentChanges patrol - there is some movement to get away from the patrolling "bad" edits ideology and to review peer edits.

pros/cons for deletion ability

pros

• category pages
• junk pages
• request for deletion
• adult images
• deletion log can be a way to monitor this as well as recent changes and would be auto patrolled.

cons

• it's concerning when a non trafficked page can be deleted with virtually no oversight
• by needing to check deletion log and recent changes it is creating more work.
• it is an action that doesn't show up on a watched list.
• deletion is not a fundamental issue for the site currently
