Article validation coming to MediaWiki 1.5 - we will likely use this to decide what get's published

I'm currently thinking that companies selling services should be arranged into a tree-like structure so that the [[companies]] provoding [[service]]s would be close to each other in the article hierarchy. And, yes, I know how bad this solution is for performance (I can actually read and write [[w:SQL|SQL]] (!)... after all [[MediaWiki]] is developed for [[Wikipedia]] where the common wiki-way is to avoid sub-articles so it's not at all optimised to traverse up and down subarticle-trees. | I'm currently thinking that companies selling services should be arranged into a tree-like structure so that the [[companies]] provoding [[service]]s would be close to each other in the article hierarchy.

===Article validation coming to 1.5=== | |||
[[m:Article validation|Article validation is a hot topic on meta today]] as [[m:User:Magnus Manske]] has once again implemented this feature as described in [[m:Article validation feature]] this time it seems to be integrated into [[MediaWiki]] in 1.5 tree and '''you can try it out [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Main_Page here].''' | |||
This new feature is likely the tool we are going to use to decide what gets published as facts and what doesn't. | |||
Those of you who have been with us for a while may remember when we decided that [[Simple model for expressing opinions|articles about the real world get published when the "default signer" signs a version]] of an article thus the dreaded [[sysop]] doesn't get to make (or have the misery of having to decide) the decision of what goes and what doesn't. | |||
The problem of whose responsibility it is to make these kinds of decisions doesn't evaporate away because someone has to '''decide''' who are the '''decision makers''' in each case. | |||
