Ability for sorting Special:UnreviewedPages by time

  • Problem: Special:UnreviewedPages (a central piece of functionality for Flagged Revisions, sort of the flagging-aware equivalent of Special:NewPages) lists newly created pages that need review, sorted alphabetically by title. This isn't super useful, typically you'd want to see either the most recently created ones (because you already checked the older ones earlier) or the oldest ones (which have been waiting for the longest time and are the bottom of the backlog).
  • Proposed solution: Allow the list to be sorted by page creation time.
  • Who would benefit: Patrollers/reviewers who could more easily manage the backlog, readers as it would be easier to ensure that pages get reviewed in a timely manner (unlike pages with pending changes, fully unreviewed pages do get shown to the user despite the fact that no one has verified them).
  • More comments: This is the resubmission of a 2021 wishlist item which got limited support (65th with 45 votes) but a survey on huwiki indicates that the number of people who care about it is not that small.

Discussion

@STei (WMF): I am rescinding this proposal. My apologies; I only checked the Phabricator task and not the actual interface when renominating this 2021 wishlist item. But I did check now, and it seems it has been fixed by accident. (After lots of code archeology I think I have an explanation of what happened.) --Tgr (talk) 19:33, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tgr thanks for letting me know. We will change the status of the proposal. Let me know if you need anything else. –– STei (WMF) (talk) 12:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
