Hi, I'm a newcomer to the developers group. I uploaded in the branch
SHOW_VERIFIED a modified version of MediaWiki where I added a new feature.
This wants to be an alternative to the page protection. I added a
verify/unverify button: 'verify' sets the current revision (or the one
indexed by oldid) as the verified one for that page. This means that any
user can edit the page, but the new revisions are not shown (though they can
be accessed through the hystory, where the currently 'verified' revision is
shown in bold characters) until a sysop 'verifies' it again. 'unverify',
of
course, removes this protection.
If anyone wants to test it, after setting the wiki up, it's sufficient to
add "$wgEnableVerify = true;" to LocalSettings.php.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Regards,
Salvatore Ingala
