Conditions
The following conditions are NOT part of the proposed tests; they have been suggested by editors who would like to test flagged revisions, but dislike this method.

Proposed trials
Trial 1: Featured articles/portals
In the first proposed trial, a system of flagged revisions known as 'sighted revisions' is enabled on all featured articles and featured portals. The duration of the trial period will be two months.
Under the system of 'sighted revisions', all revisions are to be sighted unless they are found to contain vandalism, copyright violations, or libel. FlaggedRevisions thereby functions as a low-level filter against obvious vandalism. Any registered editor may request 'reviewer' privileges at Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions, which will be granted and revoked by administrators in a similar fashion to rollback. Rollbackers and administrators are automatically granted 'reviewer' permissions.
Any editor who believes they were unjustly refused permissions may make an appeal on the administrators' noticeboard; claims that an editor has abused their FlaggedRevisions-related permissions should be made on the same noticeboard, which may result in said permissions being removed.
Trial 2: Semi-protected articles
Under this second proposed system, all currently semi-protected articles (possibly, with some exceptions) will be unprotected and have Flagged Revisions enabled on them. The duration of the trial period will be two months.
Under the system of 'sighted revisions', all revisions are to be sighted unless they are found to contain vandalism, copyright violations, or libel. FlaggedRevisions thereby functions as a low-level filter against obvious vandalism. Any registered editor may request 'reviewer' privileges at Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions, which will be granted and revoked by administrators in a similar fashion to rollback. Rollbackers and administrators are automatically granted 'reviewer' permissions.
Any editor who believes they were unjustly refused permissions may make an appeal on the administrators' noticeboard; claims that an editor has abused their FlaggedRevisions-related permissions should be made on the same noticeboard, which may result in said permissions being removed.
Trial 3: Subsection of Biographies of Living Persons
In this proposed trial, a system of flagged revisions known as 'sighted revisions' is enabled on all articles in Category:Living people beginning with Z (approx 3 to 4 thousand). The duration of the trial period will be two months.
Under the system of 'sighted revisions', all revisions are to be sighted unless they are found to contain vandalism, copyright violations, or libel. FlaggedRevisions thereby functions as a low-level filter against obvious vandalism. Any registered editor may request 'reviewer' privileges at Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions, which will be granted and revoked by administrators in a similar fashion to rollback. Rollbackers and administrators are automatically granted 'reviewer' permissions.
Any editor who believes they were unjustly refused permissions may make an appeal on the administrators' noticeboard; claims that an editor has abused their FlaggedRevisions-related permissions should be made on the same noticeboard, which may result in said permissions being removed.
Trial 4: Per-article opt-in
In this proposed trial, any article may have a notice placed on its talk page describing the new feature and asking editors of that article to come to a consensus regarding its use. If there are at least two active editors, and if all the active editors come to a consensus that it should be enabled, then it will be enabled on that article for the duration of the trial. Notices will be automatically placed on the talk pages of all featured articles, semi-protected articles, and articles in Category:Living people; they may be manually placed on any other articles. The duration of the trial period will be two months.

Trial 5: New pages
A trial needs to establish:
- How Flagged Revisions effects the number and first version compliance of new pages created by New Users who are registered but not autoconfirmed, in comparison to not using Flagged Revisions.
- How Flagged Revisions effects the number and first version compliance of new pages created by registered users who are autoconfirmed but do not yet have Reviewer status, in comparison to not using Flagged Revisions.
- The first version compliance of 'self-sighted' new pages created by users with Reviewer status, in comparison to not using Flagged Revisions.
Trial 6: Special:UnwatchedPages
A number of pages on the project are unwatched, (See Special:UnwatchedPages), a number of which would not pass a review under Flagged Revisions. A trial needs to establish how edits to unwatched pages are handled under particular configurations of Flagged Revisions.
Trial 7: Low-watched pages
An assessment needs to be made of how many 'little watched' pages Misplaced Pages has (i.e. less then 5 users, less than 10 users etc have Page XYZ on their watchlist). A trial needs to establish if there is any basis in the idea that only unreviewed edits to these little watched pages would need to be placed in an pool of pages with unsighted revisions, stopping that pool being unneccesarily cluttered with highly watched pages that will be more likely to be reviewed by appearing on a reviewers watchlist anyway.
