=====Edit moderation===== >> **See also** Trac ticket: follows [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs Mediawiki-extension]] >> This is a page to discuss about how edit moderaton could be added to wikka. While it may seem to be a minor issue, several changes to the logic of handling pages are to be made. ====From the chat==== ~& Is there any plugin or modification for Wikka that will allow for page creation/edit moderation? Something so that pages can be created/edited, but those creations/edits have to be approved by an authorized user (for quality control) before they show up live. ~& I'd love to use Wikka, it looks far better than MediaWiki (and the only reason I'm using that is because they have an extension that does what I described: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs) ~~& you'd need to store a status of a page somwhere, probably extend the pages table ~~& it starts getteing complicated if you have multiple versions in the mdoeration queue ~& Maybe restrict further edits (except by that authorized user/group) until that one is approved? Unless its a minor edit. ~~& yes, but "minor" is user-flagged (and we don't have that yet either) ====Database==== The page table needs to be updated with an additional field: 'status' which could be a ENUM with the following values: - 'N' - normal page (default) - 'M' - moderated (needs approval) - 'A' - approved ====Page Handling==== Several functions, actions and handlers are to be changed. === SavePage() === - needs to set the right status for a page, maybe with the help of a helper function like needsModeration()? === show - handler === - needs to take into account if a page is flagged for modration and should be displayed or not (or maybe with a comment) === recentchanges === - needs to take into account if a page is flagged for modration and should be displayed or not (or maybe with a comment) ===pageindex=== - needs to take into account if a page is flagged for modration and should be displayed or not (or maybe with a comment) === RSS-Feeds === - need to take into account if a page is flagged for modration and should be displayed or not (or maybe with a comment) === moderate pages action === - to be created - should display a list of the pages in need of moderation to all admins (maybe an extension of the AdminPages action?) ===Questions=== - where/how to store the acl for page moderation - moderation 'per page' or 'per user' (or both?) - feedback for the user (would require changes to the edit handler) - … ---- CategoryDevelopmentArchitecture
