Bug ID: 49770
Summary: Action to temporarily enable pending changes
Product: MediaWiki extensions

The idea of deferring suspect edits for review has been suggested and found
support on several occasions. The AbuseFilter provides a way to check edits and
FlaggedRevs a way to review revisions, it seems sensible to combine in some way
those two extensions for that purpose.
In the linked page, I suggest that a new AF action be created: to enable
pending changes on an article where an edit triggers the filter, before the
edit is saved, so that the edit will be marked for review (the prior revision
being reviewed automatically).
The problem is that we want this to be temporary, a way to achieve this is by
automatically removing pending changes as soon as the last page revision is
reviewed. If possible it could be removed only after a brief cooldown period
following the review, that could be fixed maybe per filter (to fend off
repeated vandalism attempts).
In order to inform reviewers, it may be good to display by default the PC
config log when reviewing pages, considering it's not particularly obtrusive.
The AF would log the action with a link to the triggered filter and its name,
but wouldn't edit the page.
For now, I think we can consider AF enabling only level 1 PC protection
(autoconfirmed users are autoreviewed), to avoid complications on pages already
on PC level 1 since the AF would have to restore the original setting.
I'm sure this would gain consensus on en.wp if this or a similar implementation
is possible.
