removed automatically. As such, on pages without prior pending changes protection, only edits flagged as suspect will not be visible immediately; and they will await review in the same manner as other edits to pages protected by pending changes. Edit filters are limited by MediaWiki so that they can only catch a small percentage of edits and edit filter managers ensure that the false positives rate is minimized.

the filter responsible for deferring the edit. A cooldown period for the automatic removal of pending changes after a new revision is accepted may be instituted to fend off repeated vandalism attempts, this may be a variable that can be set per filter, with an upper limit of a few minutes to be fixed. The bot adding pending changes protection templates should not add those in this case.
129:(using the FlaggedRevs extension) works on pages 'protected' by pending changes by displaying to unregistered users only revisions that have been marked as accepted automatically or by a reviewer. At level 1, edits by autoconfirmed users are automatically accepted when the previous revision was accepted, while at level 2, such is the case only for reviewers.

162:
at level 1, after a new revision is accepted, the edit filter should downgrade protection back to level 1 (and not altogether remove it), with the prior expiry, and cite the prior protection summary. Generally, deferrals should be of level 1 type. The feasibility and desirability of setting a level 2 deferral is to be discussed.

The intent of deferred revisions is to provide a way to delay the visibility of edits that have been flagged for deferral by the edit filter until they have been accepted or reverted by a reviewer. This implementation proposal attempts to use the
FlaggedRevs and AbuseFilter features together in order

Pending changes protection can either be set at level 1 or level 2. At level 1, only edits by unregistered or new users can be deferred, across all pages without pending changes protection. At level 2, edits by autoconfirmed users can also be deferred. However, on pages already under pending changes

However unlike typical pending changes, once any revision becomes accepted, either by a reviewer or automatically, pending changes is automatically removed from the page.

The action to enable and disable intermittent pending changes protection is noted in the pending changes protection log, but not in the history of the affected page. The last edit prior to the suspect edit is automatically accepted when pending changes is enabled, reviewers cannot have their edits

This proposal involves modifying the edit filter to create a new available action: the ability to enable pending changes protection, however in a time-limited manner: as soon as (or soon after that) any revision becomes accepted (automatically or manually), the added pending changes protection is
173:
Due to the way pending changes work, subsequent edits by non-reviewers before pending changes is automatically disabled will also be 'deferred', but unless a page is frequently edited by different users, this shouldn't happen often, based on the occurrence of such events in the current pending

Several existing edit filters with the action to warn or tag could be set to defer. Numerous vandalism edits detected and tagged by those filters still persist for minutes or hours, yet the rate of false positives is too high so the edits can't be altogether disallowed. This includes:

This proposal offers a simple way to defer suspicious edits for review, when those are flagged by the edit filter, using the reviewing system of pending changes.
