Wikipedia:Pending changes
It's similar to FlaggedRevs, (which I knew about) but "considerably less restrictive" and has just undergone a 2 month trial on Wikipedia, with a mixed but (I think) mainly positive reception, and is still in use on some articles.
It does seem to require significant oversight by administrators, so I think we're not ready to use it much on Appropedia until we have a lot more admins working on the site at all hours. But it does add to our case that a wiki can be kept fact-checked.
And if we suddenly have pages that are subject to attack or misinformation, it would be great to have the tool already installed...
