A topic came up in the upstream to our MediaWiki theme. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in implementing this in our OpenShift instance, particularly any of the apprentice-Infra folk looking to do more work?
(This could even be implemented in a complete clone of our wiki using your own OpenShift account, so if you are a new person looking to get involved, you can do this task without having to get special permissions; we'll just check and pull in your work.)

For goal 2, we discussed implementing an extension that puts anonymous changes in a queue for moderators to review and approve, called FlaggedRevs (flagged revisions.) This lets us put even new author accounts in FlaggedRevs, and any Bureaucrat can change the person to not have flagged revisions, if we wish. (If we want to keep things the way they are, we can have any approved user account granted autoreview privileges.)
Adding this extension, we could allow for anonymous edits with the revision flagged for review, while still taking new user accounts via the existing account approval extension. Those new users (and any created by an existing user as per the usual steps[1]) could have the autoreview flag so they can write without being queued for moderation.
I definitely approve of this getting done - unfortunately I have no time to work on it personally in the near future (at least 3-4 weeks). Also, I'm not sure why, but email notifications are not working for account requests for the wiki right now - I've been checking every day since discovering a queue with 12 people in it after the test day but I'd prefer this to be more interrupt-driven. Do you know if we have all the necessary PHP modules and configuration in place for email notifications on OpenShift? Thanks!
