Setup

Add the include_once line of FlaggedRevs.php into localsettings.php.

Run the FlaggedRevs.sql query, subsituting in your wiki's table prefix.

Use

First, make sure there is a bureacrat or steward account (Stewards can set any arbitrary rights). Bureacrat accounts, by default promote users to reviewer status.

Users with reviewer status will have a small rating form on page view and diffs that lets them review revisions (actually they lead to the comfirmation interface).

Logging

A log of promotion/demotion of reviewers and why is kept at Special:Log.

A log of the approval/unapproval of revisions is kept at Special:Log.
