German FlaggedRevs tested for 10 minutes

Ok, so we finally got the FlaggedRevs for German Wikipedia config set up… then turned it off after a few minutes.

We did, alas, encounter a few problems, which didn’t come up as much in earlier testing, but came up *hard* in a few minutes around 3am at Wikipedia. :)

Floating UI boxes and floating infoboxes don’t mix well.

The nice small versioning marker is really nice, but that’s way too disruptive, and we’ll need to get it worked out one way or another.

Second, some of the reporting pages weren’t working, in part due to some last-minute tweaks to the DB layout to make it easier to deploy. (This should be fixed now.)

Third, the “redirected from” subtitles are being broken, which’ll disrupt some general editing functionality in an unpleasant way. An example on de.labs test wiki.

Once the UI bits are fixed up, we’ll give it another test run… und FlaggedRevs kommt wieder!

  1. Heh, I’ve got all the special pages up again, and the subtitles fixed. I guess that leaves the UI :)

  2. @P.Birken: it does, as class float-right contains “clear:right;”. It’d be easy enough to fix the floating templates, but articles whose infoboxes are implemented in place would still be broken. I can’t think of any way other than brute force botsearch to even guesstimate the affected quantity, let alone fix them all.
