Out of curiosity, inspired by Ian's idea -
1. What happens with a new article's visibility under sighted
revisions, until someone stamps approval?
Under the proposed enwiki implementation? Nothing happens.
From the configuration:
# Don't set any FlaggedRevs level for new pages
$wgFlaggedRevsAutoReviewNew = false;
# Pages display the current version by default - i.e. unprotected
$wgFlaggedRevsOverride = false;
;-)
If that were turned on... hmm. Under patrolled revisions - well, it
wouldn't be patrolled yet, but patrolled/unpatrolled doesn't actually
factor into what gets shown to users. As far as I understand the
system, it'd be functionally identical to creating and then seeing a
new page now.
Flagged protection is the interesting one - but why would a newly
created article be explicitly protected? I suppose if it *is* then
something weird might happen, but this seems to be a bit of an
improbable situation. Worth testing, though, for the
delete-then-recreate situations...
