User:Mr.Z-man/yet another FlaggedRevs proposal

This proposal is basically a combination of Flagged protection and a version of Scott MacDonald's (unpublished?) proposal.

How it works
The system will have 3 levels of flagging:
 * Semi-protection
 * BLP
 * Full-protection

The semi-protection system will be similar to the system in Flagged protection, except rather than autoconfirmed, it will use the more versatile $wgFlaggedRevsAutopromote, with settings to be determined later.

The BLP flagging level is the main difference between this and Flagged protection. To flag revisions with this level, users will need to be in a manually granted user group made specifically for this

The full-protection system will be functionally identical to the full-protection system in Flagged protection - only admins will be able to flag changes, unless this becomes unworkable, in which case a new user group can be added to reduce the workload on admins.

An admin can set pages to any flag level, a BLP reviewer can set pages to either semi-protected or BLP-protected

Scope
The conditions for semi and full flagged protection would be the same as normal semi/full protection as outlined in the protection policy.

BLP flagging should be used on biographies of living people where OR AND BLP flagging could also be used on non-BLPs that have had significant BLP problems (such as a company article where the CEO has been libeled)
 * Previous problems with libel in the article
 * Poorly watched/monitored such that libel may not be removed/noticed promptly
 * Not an extremely public figure - Public figures like A-list movie stars and heads of state have PR teams and won't be harmed as much or at all, and where the number of edits would overwhelm the system.

BLP reviewers
BLP reviewers should be trusted users, though for the system to be successful a significant amount will be needed. Further details to be worked out later.

Expansion
As with any proposed policy, once accepted, this is not set in stone. If, as a trial, this system is considered a success, the expansion of the system can and should be considered.
