Optional configuration
[edit ]By default, only registered users can report revisions, and only sysops can handle reports:
// These are the default settings for the extension, no need to manually set it $wgGroupPermissions['user']['report'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['handle-reports'] = true;
If different permissions are required, simply adjust $wgGroupPermissions. For example, to allow unregistered users to report revisions, and only allow bureaucrats to handle reports, add the following to LocalSettings.php, after loading the extension:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['report'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['handle-reports'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['handle-reports'] = true;
Usage
[edit ]Main page: Help:Extension:Report
Reporting
[edit ]- Go to the history of a page, or look at a diff between revisions.
- Click the "report" link (next to undo).
- Enter a reason for reporting the revision.
- Submit the report.
Handling reports
[edit ]- As an admin (or other user with the
handle-reportspermission), browse toSpecial:HandleReports. - You will be presented with a list of recent reports. Choose a report that catches your attention by clicking "View report".
- On the "view report" page, you will be presented with a single button to mark the report as handled. After making sure that any required action for the report has been taken care of, click "Mark as handled".
Known issues
[edit ]- After a report has been marked as handled, other admins can still re-mark it as handled. This only changes the who and when of the report being handled, however.
