Flagged revisions

[espresso_addict]

A recent problem has brought to my attention the fact that the fanlore wiki appears to be using flagged revisions, ie a moderator has to approve all edits before they are visible when logged out. This system (assuming I'm right that this is the explanation for my problems) seems to me profoundly unsuited for a wiki where the rate of vandalism to existing pages is almost nonexistent (nearly all vandalism appears in the form of uploading promotional images or starting promotional articles) and the pool of moderators is small/overworked. Might I suggest it be turned off?

Still not showing several days after the edit? That seems very odd. What's the explanation for things showing logged in, but not logged out? (And by the way, the site has been slower than ever today.)

Hi there,

Yes, the site is definitely still slow. Aethel and I (I think it is late as where Aethel is) are communicating with Systems -- when they implemented caching, they used one that didn't exactly suit our needs. I'm trying to get that rectified.

I'm also in chat, should you want to discuss this in a more real-time way.

Thanks! I'm so glad this is being looked into and hopefully fixed.
