Both the number and the size of the dimensions is customizable - hu.wikipedia,
for example, uses a single dimension with three settings (unreviewed, sighted,
featured). There is a meta-dimension with pre-set levels (in the old version:
none, sighted, quality, pristine) which is the one taken into account for access
permissions/which version to show. How it depends on the manually set dimensions
is again customizable; eg. you can set the sighted means accuracy>=1,
accessibility>=1, neutrality>=2. Or (which is, I think, what most wikis did) you
can have a single manually set dimension with names like "sighted" and have the
hardcoded dimension mirror its value.
