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?

If I've got the right email, you should be cc'd on an email I sent to Systems about your report :)

Yeah, got the cc.

Wow, manually using the redirects is about the last thing I'd expect non wiki aware readers to have to do. I'm surprised I haven't noticed that before now since I haven't been logged in in days.

It should be fixed now :)
