At the moment it's going in on en: because Magnus wrote the code and I and
others have pushed for it to be in 1.5 - plans for a "Wikipedia 1.0" use
some sort of distributed rating system. I presume it'll be on de: as well -
Mathias Schindler started [[m:De Validierungsthemen]], analogous to [[m:En
validation topics]].
