Still, it is more consultation than was had for some previous changes, but, when you propose tshowing the unreviewed pages only to reviewers. do you mean
I. Not letting anyone see an unreviewed edit unless they have reviewer status or, II. Showing the unreviewed pages _by default_ only to reviewers, but still letting anyone, logged in or not , see them easily if they want to If you mean the first, there is no point even bothering for the sake of the enWP community, what ever other communities may wish to use it, because I am quite sure that consensus at enWP will be very firmly against it. It is truly and directly contrary to the principle of open editing as I think we see it. If you mean the second, I hope you are aware there was just barely consensus to have this at all, under the very strongly stated promise that it would only affect the general non-logged in users, and that anyone who was actually joined the project would _always_ see the current version, reviewed or not, whether or not they could change it. Trying to change this by developer action is unacceptable without going back _first_ to the community, where it will be probably voted down unless _you_ have a very strong argument. The burden is on you to provide the argument, not on us to find one that will convince you not to do it. This is not what I think the community meant by agreeing that it should be improved for further testing.
