Hi, Mangus! This is good news. Would it be possible not to name
this table "validate", if this is all it will contain, and instead something
like "article_votes"? Otherwise, could there also be a text field
associated with each vote?
I hold out hope that a validation table will be associated with some
form of 'validation' which associates a text field with each
"validation"/"review"
(perhaps a numerical vote like this; perhaps distinct from such votes).

I have put some preliminary code for article
validation into CVS HEAD.
You'll need to add the table "validate" (tables.sql) to the DB. Then,
(for "Main Page", as example) go to
index.php?title=Special:Validate&article=Main_Page
Every logged-in user can "vote"
* for every article
* in multiple versions
* in multiple categories
* in a variable range (so far, 1-5 points per category)
This offers maximum flexibility, but can be "dumbed down" to a single
yes/no decision. No database entry equals the "no opinion" choice.
I hard-coded the available choices into SpecialValidate.php, but that
can be moved to the language files,
So far, *no* way of extracting that information exists. Some statistic
output is likely to be my next attempt.
The special page is also *not* linked from the articles yet. I'd prefer
a "tab" like edit, history and the like instead of the special page, but
I didn't look into the coding just yet.
That's it for today :-)
