says you have to go through them one-by-one (unless they are all by
the same user), so I suggest eliminating the option of review multiple
edits with a single click, unless they are all by the same user. The
feature should be designed to fit in with the way it is used, after
all. Once you've done that, the issue you raise goes away.
I think it actually gets worse. What should the reject button do in the
case that the reviewer is looking at A1 and P1?
It would function as "undo". In the event that the edit cannot be
undone, it fails gracefully. The software can't be expected to do
everything successfully.
Hi Thomas,
If you're willing to write up an alternative proposal for how this should
work, we'll take a look at it. It stands the best chance of getting
implemented if you figure out a way of incremental implementation, since it
sounds like you're a proponent of a "go back to the drawing board" approach
to this.
I've put a placeholder for "Alternative B" here:

Anyone else who wants to take a stab at a specification should also feel
free to do so (as C, D, etc). I think it's going to be a lot easier to
close this issue if we can discuss the merits of several complete competing
proposals than it will be if we're just debating whether to move forward
with a single proposal.
