Summary: Index sighted revisions only on de-wp
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Search
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: gnu1...@arcor.de
Please evaluate the possibility that the search engine indexes sighted
revisions only. This is to prevent vandalism to be displayed at a prominent
place.
Background: After the elections in Israel a few days ago the articles about the
candidates like Benjamin Netanjahu are both interesting for readers and target
to vandals.
This article was vandalised on the 12th february at 04:29 CET in a horrible way
(think of Hitler and the Shoah and you'll guess what i mean). The vandalism was
undone about 15 minutes later and the revision was deleted in the meantime.
Unfortunately the daily search-indexing of de-wp took place during that quarter
of an hour, so the vandalism showed up every time someone searched for
Netanjahu. When i was told about this i asked at #wikimedia-tech to manually
re-index de-wp.
Every article on de-wp has a sighted revision by now, so this solution would
prevent offenses like the one described above.
