When reviewing pages by API you can get in conflict with other users reviewing pages using the web frontend. You can't see via the API that pages are being reviewed as you would see that in the web frontend. You can't stay out of the way of other users. This causes doubled work and edit conflicts. To avoid that we need means – to detect a page being reviewed (which could be implemented as a filter to list=oldreviewedpages and/or by checking via prop=info (the latter should also return true if the page was delisted)) and – to mark a page as being reviewed.
A filter would not be efficient here.

(In reply to comment #2) > Done in r68154. I don't think that this is sufficient. It would be better to be able to check that more frequently (via a different API call as described above). And you totally ignored the second point, i.e. marking pages as being reviewed.
Then I have no idea what this is talking about. What is being requested here? What does "mark a page as reviewed" mean? Does that have to do with the API review page?
Closed for now. Not enough info or support at the moment.
