So, as I mentioned in my previous email, we're dabbling with the idea of
Pending (something else).  See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled_revisions/Terminology#Pending...


Can it go to the other side of the

I'm not sure what the rationale is, but I asked here:
http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:FlaggedRevs_issues#Tab_placement_in_Vector_and_Monobook

 Where will it go in Vector?

Hrm...we should probably make Vector default on the test site.  I'm looking
into that.

At any rate, you can see it by logging in at
http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org and visiting a page that has pending
revisions.  An example (as of this writing) is here:
