A new variant on an old idea follows.
I propose a new variant on protection of pages, a sort of "deferred edits" solution, to be used on high-traffic vandalism targets a la George W Bush and other presidential candidates.
Someone vandalizes GWB. Someone reverts the vandalism, say, sixty seconds to three or four minutes later. (Hey, the wiki is danged slow sometime.) The vandalism is gone. In those sixty seconds, however, someone may have viewed the page.
My solution would be a feature that would defer any edits for a short period of time, say, five minutes. If the revision remains unchanged (unedited, unreverted, un-rolledback) for those five minutes, it becomes the currently displayed 'article'. This should provide an adequate window during which such vandalism can be reverted, without it ever being displayed.

This would be a fantastic function. But the are dreams :(
My dream is that I can block a ipadress but still give access to the wiki for registered users of that ipadres.
