"Pending edits" might describe the edits, but not the "regime" or tool.
"Delayed editing" is one possible option for the tool. As in, "Delayed editing has been applied to this article". Doesn't imply any kind of checking or approval, nor censorship or the like, just that edits will be delayed. I think even the average non-Wikipedian would understand vandalism isnt "edits" in the same sense: *"We will be placing some articles, especially those that get vandalism, under "delayed editing". This means that when a completely unknown editor edits the article, the edits won't be made public until they have been given a basic check by vandalism patrollers. Once they are cleared as non-vandal edits they'll be made public".* FT2 On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 11:57 PM, AGK <wiki...@googlemail.com> wrote: > On 21 May 2010 22:38, Rob Lanphier <ro...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > > It turns out that filters out quite a few names (including "Flagged > > Protection" among other things).
