Can we get a Review Question, and Review Answer link directly on questions/answers that haven't previously been reviewed?

A lot of times I find myself browsing newest questions, or unanswered questions, and they're in poor shape and most likely not reviewed yet; so I end up editing them, but not getting the review "credit" and it's still not marked as reviewed either.

  • Is there a "review" credit? I wasn't aware of that. [predicts new wave of meta posts, reminiscent of the flag weight wars]

  • I mean your actual review statistics where you can keep track of how many you've edited, and reviewed, I believe the same portion that's used for badges.

    Part of the motivation for such badges is to get users to spend a small amount of time in the /review queue reviewing posts that are identified as needing review.

    So give it to only people who already have at least one review badge, meaning they already actively review, and only keep it to questions already in need of review. All I was trying to say was it'll save me time sometimes, as well as others, who won't have to re-review something I just reviewed/edited as I was answering/reading questions.

  • It might be a bad idea, but it would be very easy to make a user script to add this.

  • This is available to moderators now, to allow them to "review the reviewers" when necessary. I tend to agree with dmckee though, it would just be a distraction for most viewers.

I'm sympathetic to Robert's comment about pushing users to spend some time browsing the /review pages, but I find myself delaying working on question from users with less than 10 rep until after I've poked round /review to see if the question I've found shows up there.

The result is these questions are getting my comments/answers/votes/flags later than they would otherwise.

In some sense this seems to work against the desired for fast response to questions and problems.

  • aye, precisely the reason I was looking for it. I also agree with Robert though, so like I said, maybe limiting it to just the folks who already have a silver or gold review badge would be fine.
