They are the same and that is why I strongly opposed that wiki. My comment four months ago:

Isn't this going completely against the idea of a wiki? Should we really stop people from seeing the development process for the majority of our users. To me this just seems like a way to allow us to censor articles without anyone noticing. I am concerned that Wikimedia is going to start censoring all our articles. This sort of thing, along with Wikinews:WMF Reports is what is going to stop us being unbiased.

The problem is that often we can be under an embargo or "media blackout" until a certain date - especially with sensitive stories. This seriously hampers our ability to develop these stories on-wiki with as much collaboration as possible.
