by default, every user should see the newest revision at german wikipedia
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

There is no consensus to massively hurt wiki principle via not deploying the current revision to any user. See to [1] for a short discussion regarding this topic. Russian (bug 13659) and English Wikipedia ([2]) are requesting the same configuration.

I think, $wgFlaggedRevsOverride has to be set to 'false' for this change.

There were a short discussion on [1] (which is probably one of the most watched pages at dewiki as you may know) and I dropped a note at the mailing list ([2]) on this bug. Neither these discussions nor this bug saw any disagreeing in this case. Just to make it clear: This is just a request for changing the current situation in the testing phase. We are planning a polling on the whole flagged revisions case in a few months after extensively testing. With the absence of cons, the requests of ru and en and the yet-to-come poll in mind, I can't see any reason why this should not be changed.
