::::{{Ping| Barbaking}} PS I updated [[Colloquia familiaria]] with the new category, could you allow the updates? (It's got very old! What is the process for keeping changes reviewed, do we rely on you to do this as the most active (only?) administrator? --[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 08:15, 26 Iulii 2021 (UTC)
:::::{{Ping|JimKillock}} done. And since we are talking about this... (follows in the [[#Getting rid of the checked reviews|next section]]) --[[Usor:Barbaking|Barbaking]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Barbaking|disputatio]]) 08:55, 26 Iulii 2021 (UTC)
 
==Getting rid of the checked reviews==
I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and [[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]]'s comment in the section above is only the last drop: wouldn't it be better to get rid of the [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes|Reviewing pending changes]] system? (if you don't know what I'm talking about, right now we need a "reviewer" to approve changes made to a "checked page" in order for them to be displayed; [[Opera_latina_minora_(Boccacius)/Scripta_breviora|here]] there is an example of a page with unapproved changes). As it is now, I found it pretty useless and (I must confess) extremely tedious.
 
The system requires to approve every change, including typo corrections or minor edits. If something is changed in a page in Ns:''Pagina'', the text transcluding ''that'' page must be rewiewed too, and for some reasons, if a change in made in a ns:''liber'' index, all the pages transcluding that book must be validated (citation: I'va had to do that several times for all the chapters and subchapters [[Liber:Athanasius Kircher - Turris Babel - 1679.djvu|here]]). The aim of all this is (I suppose) to prevent vandalisms on small, unpatrolled projects, but given that
# we may not be the most active project, but expecially in the last months we have had our small community of users that can intervene against vandalisms if needed
# that we do not seem to have big issues with vandals right now
# that most wiki projects, even smaller ones like the Italian Wikibooks (no offence intended, expecially to my fiend Wim_b which is admin there :P) do not use checked reviews, and yet seem to still function
# that checking and reviewing the edits is extremely, extremely, ''extremely'' boring, and
# that it could in my opinion discourage new users from editing
I propose we do without all this. If after some time we find ourselves in trouble with vandalisms or out-of-control edits (but I doubt), we can always get back. Please note that I have not the faintest idea how to do this, but I suppose we could ask on Meta if we reach a consensus on the proposal. I hope many people will answer, let me know what you think, ''vale'' --[[Usor:Barbaking|Barbaking]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Barbaking|disputatio]]) 08:55, 26 Iulii 2021 (UTC)
