--- Comment #2 from Rob Lanphier <ro...@wikimedia.org> 2010-10-08 03:23:56 UTC --- Quoting the relevant portion of this email: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2010-October/049813.html Almost everyone who I've talked to about this problem feels like maybe the timeout needs to be tuned, but since almost no one knows what the timeout is, that may be the problem itself. One possible workflow (inspired by our conversation, but not vetted by Brandon or Alolita) is this: * On the list of pages to review, keep the "under review" notice pretty much exactly as is * On the review page, in the "Review this revision" box, put one of two notices: ** "This page is being reviewed by User:Xyz, who started 20:09, 7 October 2010" ** "You are being advertised as currently reviewing of this page (started 20:09, 7 October 2010). [Stop reviewing]" This would add some transparency to the review process, which will help us tune the timeout and generally make this work more as people would expect it to. Some implementation questions that we didn't know the answers to: 1) Do we know *who* is doing the reviewing of a page? (i.e. is this already stored somewhere we can get at it easily) If so, the notice should be pretty straightforward. 2) If so, when *anyone* looks at a set of pending changes, does it mark it as "under review"? We're assuming not, but one thing that's frustrating is that any time a reviewer looks at a diff, that automatically puts the page "under review". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
