Or the old patrolling feature, which is part of mediawiki but not turned on on all projects, last time I checked nl.wp is using it, you need have an account that's a few days old, (but it's been a while) it.wp was/is also using it, you might need moderator or other privileges.
Ah, so it looks like my basic idea (centralized verification of edits) isn't entirely new. I'm guessing that the patrolling feature was turned off because there are just too many edits going through Recent Changes for that interface to be useful. Am I correct?
Not sure. I tried marking edits as patrolled, but there was something clunky about the interface and people didn't seem terribly interested. I realise of course I should have written up a proper bug report at the time ...
The FlaggedRevisions extension has a lot more interest pushing it forward and a lot of close attention to usability on a busy wiki, i.e. de:wp. So that should be more useful and usable.
