Summary information for editors

Trial – The trial has ended, so the trial proposal indicates that "the Wikipedia community will decide whether to continue or discontinue using flagged protection, and whether to test alternative configurations of flagged revisions."
Logged-in users – Logged-in users, or users choosing to view pending changes, will see all edits as usual. All edits will still be added to the wiki and inappropriate edits must still be reverted or fixed as usual.
Logged-out users – Until checked for obvious vandalism or superseded by appropriate editing, edits to "pending changes protected" pages will not be seen by users who are not logged-in. Edits by autoconfirmed users will be approved automatically during the trial, with rare exceptions.
Policy – Pending changes may be applied only in the same circumstances as usual protection, see protection policy and pending changes usage policy. It will be progressively phased in using a queuing system, and will be limited to 2000 pages for the trial.
Reviewer status – This will be granted liberally (become a reviewer!), and may be granted based on automatically generated lists.
Support and testing – Test page: Wikipedia:Pending changes/Testing. For more information visit the IRC channel: #wikipedia-en-pending, or development lab at flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org.
Provide feedback and suggestion – Feedback page: Wikipedia:Pending changes/Feedback. Your feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

මෙම පිටුවේ අඩංගු කරුණු සැකෙවින්: Pending changes provides an alternative to page protection for articles. Its use is limited by the protection policy.

Pending changes (PC) is a tool that underwent a two-month trial on the English Wikipedia. A straw poll at the end of the trial showed 407 in favor of implementation in some measure and 217 opposed, with 44 other responses. Among those in favor, there was no clear consensus on what form the implementation should take. The poll closed on September 4, 2010. PC remains active on articles that were protected with it during the trial.

Description

At present, several thousand (0.1%) of the 3.3 million pages on the English Wikipedia are semi-protected to reduce the risk of inappropriate editing. PC introduces new protection levels that can be used as an alternative to semi-protection and full protection. Unregistered and new users can edit pages protected by pending changes, while they cannot edit semi-protected pages, but their edits are not visible to readers unless accepted by a reviewer.

During the trial, the conditions in which PC could be used were the same as for traditional protection, as determined by the protection policy. Changes made by unregistered or newly registered users became visible to non-logged-in readers only after being checked for vandalism and clear errors. Both logged-in users and anonymous users who clicked the "edit this page" tab edited the latest version as usual. Any pending changes on such pages were visible to all users via an additional "pending changes" tab. See Help:Pending changes.

Scope, deployment, and removal

Wikipedia users, page protections, and page edits
	Anonymous, නව	Autoconfirmed, තහවුරු වුණු	විචාරක	පරිපාලක
No protection	can edit; visible immediately
Pending-changes level 1 protection	cannot edit; can submit changes for approval; cannot accept	can edit; visible immediately; cannot accept	can edit; visible immediately; can accept

Full protection	cannot edit			can edit; visible immediately
Note: Under pending-changes protections, "visible immediately" assumes no previous pending changes remain to be accepted.

Admins may use their discretion to add PC protection on pages where the disruption to good-faith editing caused by existing protection tools would be disproportionate to the problem the protection seeks to resolve. If an article placed under pending changes is subject to substantial levels of vandalism, semi-protection should be used instead. Pending changes should not be used in content disputes, because like semi-protection it disadvantages certain good faith editors. For the first week of the trial, only articles listed at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Queue were protected under pending changes. For the rest of the trial, pending-changes protection was applied in accordance with the protection policy, limited by a progressively increased cap. Removal of pending-changes protection can be requested of any administrator, or at requests for unprotection.

Reviewing

මූලික පිටුව: Wikipedia:Reviewing

The process of reviewing is intended as a quick check to ensure edits don't contain vandalism, violations of the policy on living people, or other obviously inappropriate content. Reviewers are users sufficiently experienced who are granted the ability to accept other users' edits. They are expected to have a reasonable editing history, distinguish what is and what is not vandalism, and be familiar with basic content policies. Reviewer rights are granted by administrators and in cases of misuse of the right or to protect Wikipedia from possible misuse, can be removed by an administrator. The permission can also be removed at the request of the user, the community, or the arbitration committee.
