MediaWiki has a builtin "flag" mechanism for revisions, but this serves |
| 24 |
only to try to get all revisions reviewed by at least one person. |

"Pending Changes" as implemented by the English Wikipedia uses |
| 27 |
Extension:FlaggedRevs [0] which, in the most common configuration, |
| 28 |
allows anyone to edit but hides their changes from the general public |
| 29 |
until an authorized user approves the changes. [1] |
