Latest quality revision not linked, only latest sighted one

Description

Author: Wiki.Melancholie

Description:
You do link ?stable=1 and ?stable=0 to each other, see:
http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite
http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&stable=0

But if there is a (maybe more correct) reviewed revision, nobody will know; unless he/she is examining ?action=history!

Address might be:
http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite?reviewed=1 (and not /w/index.php?title= ;-)

A link to http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&oldid=25224

How to find a quality revision else, if there is a more current (but maybe worse) sighted one? You only can reach that older but more accurate "reviewed article" only by searching in the revision history, yet!

So, http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite has a reviewed revision. On Wikipedia an article would have been reviewed by a notable person (e.g. a professor), of course. This reviewed revision is probably more accurate than a "sighted" one that came later. A revision is sighted if there is no vandalism, but maybe content got added that would be declared as *wrong* by a specialist.

An admin edit the site message to have a stableid=best link if desired. That will go to the quality revision if there is one.

Which message is it (to change the URL, not just the text)?
Shouldn't the standard be the way I described it? Most wikis will need to change this behaviour, maybe not knowing how.

Oh, and I do not request a link to the quality rev *instead of*, *but additionally* to the link towards the checked/sighted rev!

Both should be easily *accessible* ;-)

Right. This should be locally resolvable.

Thanks bug 14001 I now understand! Good morning myself ;-)
There is a parameter &stableid=best :-)

Is there a help page anywhere, that is mentioning this?
How do non-developer know that?

Even http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs does not contain infos about that parameter(s).
