The "mark as reviewed" button appears at the *top* of articles rather than the bottom. The language is also confusing; it should be either "mark as triaged" (to keep in with the other language we're using) or "mark as patrolled" (to remain in keeping with the language editors are used to).
I agree with all these points. We are going to have to make a decision pretty soon as to whether this feature should be called 'reviewed', 'triaged' or 'patrolled'. I favor "reviewed" (a friendlier term, IMHO) -- but could also go back to "patrolled" (more hostile, but may be our best bet, if the community insists on it). I don't favor "triaged" because it doesn't describe the action that's being taken very effectively -- and the noun "triager" is not as appropriate as"reviewer" or "patroller" for the user of that feature.
Just my 2c here, I'd recommend using "patrol" (and derived phrases like patrolling, patrolled, patroller, etc.) because the core feature that this extension enhances is both internally and in the interface referred to as patrolling: * user right "patrol" * database fields *_patrolled * API actions, filters and properties * SpecialPage filters hide/show patrolled and the documentation all over the wikis for "edit patrol" RCPatrol and "new page patrol" NPPatrol. Since this extension didn't introduce the feature, but introduces an (awesome) new interface to that existing feature, it would be confusing to call it something else. I agree with Fabrice about the ambiguity in the word "triage". Also, as a foreigner, I have to say that until I got deeper into Wikimedia, I had never heard the word "triage" before. So from a global point of view I think "patroller" is more integrated and known. And although "review" is at least as descriptive and known as "patrol", the word "review" somewhat conflicts with the terminology for FlaggedRevs (which, contrary to mediawiki patrolling, does not check individual changes but checks the resulting page as a whole) so best not to confuse with those "reviewers".
After endless hours of discussion, we finally settled on retaining 'review' and changing Special:PageTriage to Special:NewPagesFeed. This has been implemented in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,6361. I'm not sure there's actually any conflict between the new page 'reviewing' and revision 'reviewing' (in the sense of FlaggedRevs). They are similar processes and will probably eventually have similar interfaces to deal with them. I would support eventually merging 'autopatrol' with 'autoreview' and merging 'patrol' with 'review' in the userrights if the community would support it. There's really no reason to have these separated.
