The problem to me is that "delayed editing" implies there's a specific delay before edits go live, and that it's to a degree automatic, rather than a variable delay as a result of the need for manual approval. (A five-minute delay is quite an interesting thought, actually - file that for future testing...) -- - Andrew Gray [email protected] _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
