== Reviewer group requested in Bugzilla ==

Hi folks, the reviewer group has been requested in Bugzilla as [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23922 bug 23922]
: ..and that request was filled earlier today. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 23:57, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

== Setting up some practice space ==
I am currently setting up some practice opportunities at the flagged revisions testwiki for new reviewers to try out the tools. As soon as this is all lined up, I will start activating the permissions here. It's important for folks to see what the fancy buttons do in a fairly realistic setting, before starting to work on live articles.

For those who are interested in trying things out, you can go to http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org, create an account, and go to [[Talk:Main Page]] on that site to ask for reviewer permissions. They have now been configured. I've set up a few pages with some pending edits (more will be coming later when I have time), and you can test out the features.

:Tried fixing the mdashes per MoS  on [http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Regulamentul_Organic&stable=0&redirect=no Regulamentul Organic] but, apparently, the edit has to be reviewed?

== Not archived ==

User Courcelles' bunch of approvals don't seem to have been included in Archive 1, including me. Thanks. [[User:Tony1|<font color="darkgreen">'''Tony'''</font >]] [[User talk:Tony1|<font color="darkgreen">(talk)</font >]] 05:18, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
:Because most of those people didn't request it here. The only people in the archive are those who've requested it here and been approved (or disapproved, but I've yet to see that happen). Many admins have been giving it out to editors they know and many editors have just been asking for it on the talk pages of admins they know, rather like rollback.

::{{done}} I added the early grantings from Courcelles to the archive thanks to the page history. My that was a lot of fun checking to make sure i didn't add a duplicate entry. It seems that only those cleared before the archive was created were missing.

==Archive link carrying over to main permissions page==

Is there a way to stop a redlink to an erroneous "archive" from showing up on the main permissions page, or is this intentional? <font color="green">[[User:NotAnonymous0|N]]</font>/<font color="blue">[[User Talk:NotAnonymous0|A]]</font><small><font color="purple">[[Special:Contributions/NotAnonymous0|0]]</font></small> 05:48, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
:Two ways- write out the full link or stick it in noninclude tags. I'm lazy and the archive is temporary (until we can get a proper archiving system going when things have calmed down) so I went with the latter. [[User:HJ Mitchell|<font color="Teal" face="Tahoma">'''HJ&nbsp;Mitchell'''</font>]] &#124; [[User talk:HJ Mitchell|<font color="Navy" face= "Times New Roman">Penny for your thoughts? </font>]]  06:00, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

== A few practicalities? ==

Perhaps I've missed these links; but if I haven't, may I suggest the following?
#A list of the users who are running the trial (handy for communication, feedback, etc).
#A formal page in which reviewers can provide feedback and ask queries, right from the start.
#A list of the pages that are in the trial.

The [[Help:Pending changes|Help page]] doesn't seem to have such links. 

I guess I'm likely to watchlist a few controversial pages so I can get some practice and observe how other reviewers are dealing with the facility. Is this a good strategy? [[User:Tony1|<font color="darkgreen">'''Tony'''</font >]] [[User talk:Tony1|<font color="darkgreen">(talk)</font >]] 12:25, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
:Just for the links, most of the activity seems to be at [[WP:REVIEWER]] and its talk page.

==Userbox==

Has a userbox been created yet for those with Reviewer rights? It would probably be like the [[Template:User wikipedia/rollback]] userbox, with a category added too. - [[User:BilCat|BilCat]] ([[User talk:BilCat|talk]]) 17:14, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
:*Please... no.  I remember a category; [[:Category:Cold War survivors]] (that held user pages, not articles) being deleted, in part, because 90% of Wikipedians could fit into it.  That's how this flag should be, IMO, so common it doesn't need to be displayed/categorised. [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] ([[User talk:Courcelles|talk]]) 22:02, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

== Script for easy granting of reviewer ==

*{{user|Amalthea}}, fount of awesomeness, wrote this at my request:

<source lang="javascript">
// simple script to enable the reviewer bit and leave the user a note
 
MakeReviewerConfig = {
    groupReason : "User can be trusted with reviewer",
    sectionHeader : "Reviewer granted",
    sectionBody : "{{subst\:reviewer-notice}} ~~\~~"
};
 
importScript("User:Amalthea/MakeReviewer.js");

Config can be changed or omitted, etc. It adds a button along the top of the screen called "make reviewer".

==Request templete error==

My request seems garbled. Can anyone fix this, please? [[User:Phearson|Phearson]] ([[User talk:Phearson|talk]]) 01:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
:Not sure what happened, but I fixed it. Cheers, [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria|talk]]) 01:33, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
::The template is designed to automatically add the requesting username, but Phearson edited it manually. The only part of the template that should be touched is the ''reason''. Thanks for fixing it, though! —[[User:Department of Redundancy Department|DoRD]] ([[User talk:Department of Redundancy Department|talk]]) 01:46, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

:Usually you would add a request to the [[WP:Requests for permissions/Reviewer|reviewer request page]]. However, since you only have 11 edits, you're unlikely to be successful. I would encourage you to keep editing for a while and consider applying in a few months. Cheers, [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria|talk]]) 00:51, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

== New username ==

Hi, I'm a reviewer on this account but I'm going to have a fresh start with a new username? Is it possible if I could get reviewing rights without having much edits??--[[User:Saki|<font face="Georgia" size="3" style="color:#000000;color:black"><i>Saki</i></font>]] <sup><span style="font-family:Italic;color:black">[[user_talk:Saki|talk]]</span></sup> 15:32, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

:Do you mean you're going to be [[WP:CHU|renamed]]? If so, your contribution history will transfer to your new username, and gaining reviewer shouldn't be a problem. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria|talk]]) 17:09, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
