Make DPL extension aware of FlaggedRevs for use on Wikinews
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description:
An issue that came out of the presentation on FlaggedRevs at Wikimania was that a number of extensions are not aware of the flagging, i.e. are incompatible with it.

Key to the functioning of Wikinews is the DPL extension which saves a huge amount of effort that would otherwise be required to maintain the main page and portals.

I would like to propose that the DPL extension be enhanced such that any specific flag can be used as a selection criteria within the DPL. This has wide support from the English Wikinews community, as can be seen from the following poll:

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/technical#Proposed_enhancement_to_the_DPL_extension

As DPL is also used to build lists of articles which are under development or disputed the option to select only flagged revisions should not be mandatory.


Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

I'm not sure quite what you mean. At any rate, on my testwiki, I've added a 'stable' param (include/exclude/includeonly) that filters the list based on the existence of a stable version.

'stablepages' and 'qualitypages' params added in r38335

Neither, this is just a request to make it technically possible.
