Wanted to expand on this point a bit. The justification is that turning off Pending Changes is quite a bit of work and would clutter the logs (all of the Pending Changes pages would be Semi-Protected so they're not all immediate targets for vandalism). It would be a lot of work with no net benefit if the community decides to keep the feature on. This applies to both the operations staff as well as the community (they would have to mark everything with pending changes again after it was reactivated). If the community decides to not keep the feature, a little extra time of leaving it on during the discussion period wouldn't hurt--and would give people a chance to do some last-minute evaluation if they're on the fence. -Chad _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
