Wikipedia started using an extension for marking pages as "validated". |
15 |
See [1]. This would allow us to setup a group of "trusted |
16 |
people" (developers, long-time users, well-known contributors - for |
17 |
example) who would be able to review pages and tag them that way. |
18 |
Non-reviewed pages could show a header then clearly stating that this |
19 |
specific page hasn't been reviewed and might contain inaccurate |
20 |
information. |
