**Type of activity:** Pre-scheduled session
**Main topic:** A unified vision for editorial collaboration
== The problem ==
This session would build continuity with the Edit Review discussion held on Friday of the [October Editing offsite](https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editing_Offsite_2016_Notes).
In the discussion, a number of potential users of a "propose edit", "review edit", "apply/merge edit" workflow were discussed, and we briefly discussed backend functionality we might add to support this workflow.
What's needed are the next steps to take.
== Expected outcome ==
Build consensus on general tools to solve the edit review problem.
Identify concrete next steps.
== Current status of the discussion ==
* {T113004} became a proposal to use the Draft namespace to prototype this workflow
* {T105173} is an important part of the "review proposed edit" step
* Patrol/review workflow was identified as an important problem to be solved
* It was agreed that it would be desirable to have a consistent mechanism in the backend to store a "proposed edit"
* @Arlolra demoed a "propose edit" tool for Tor users
* The collaboration team expressed interest in doing something in this area.
* See also the extensive notes from the offsite.
