I'm not convinced that a solution acceptable to everyone exists. A code
review system requiring approval of changes to more dangerous pages would
probably have to allow local sysops to approve (for communities to accept
it), but I don't see a code review system being useful unless the reviewers
are chosen for technical skill and knowledge of Wikimedia coding
conventions.
And even if the large wikis were happy to have such a criteria, it's
relatively easy for us to talk about that in English and German, but I
think a lot of wikis in more obscure languages won't have enough people
fitting that criteria.
