There may be an issue with only having some pages
under the review
system - we will need to split effort between RC-patrol and
ORP-patrol. Hopefully that will happen organically, but we will need
to keep an eye on it. It is possible that having all articles under
review will actually result in quicker reviews since all the
RC-patrollers can just move over to ORP-patrol.
Remember that as planned, there will be two installations running in parallel.
* Patrolled revisions, passive, on all pages
* Flagged protection, active, on a few (tens of?) thousand pages
Flagged protection is wikinews or dewiki style; edits mostly don't
show up until approved. This is the one we will need to stay on top
of, but I am confident we'll manage it - it's a small proportion of
pages, after all. The problem case here is going to be the "protected
because of sheer volume of edits" pages, where I think we'll lag
horribly for any individual edit, but get a workable result.
Patrolled revisions will be on all pages, and will let us mark the
"most recent good revision". This one doesn't matter so much if it's
backlogged, because *it's invisible*; edits show up whether or not
they've been patrolled, and it just gives us an internal monitoring
tool.
