Unlock features based on level (or revert %)?

[misaochan]

Now that we are able to fetch a user's revert % (and users have levels in Achievements), I wonder if it would be useful to restrict certain privileges based on this?

Reasons:

• Some features are inherently more vulnerable to vandalism
• To encourage users to level up to unlock more features (similar to Stack Overflow I guess)

Possible features for level-gating:

• Multiple uploads
• Uploading photos that contain faces (risk of selfies)
• Wikidata edits with photos that have no geotags (risk of having 2 projects vandalized instead of just 1)

Thoughts?

I would add to the restricted features:

• Upload an image with no EXIF (for instance a PNG, or a JPG downloaded from a news website, these typically have no EXIF)

Sounds good!

Not familiar with Stack's implementation, but logically, this should improve the quality of contributions.

We really should implement this for Review.
About 1% of all uploaded pictures are incorrectly nominated for deletion, by newcomers who do not have a good idea of Commons standards.
I would say the Review item of the app's hamburger menu should not be shown to anyone who does not have level 5 or above. Maybe with a kind of flag that developers can set to force it to appear, so that they can debug the feature without having reached that level themselves.
