#:::I can't speak to the technical side of rewriting the extension to monitor work on a different wiki, but that's not possible with the current version and since there wouldn't be much point in running it from a separate wiki anyway, that's not something being considered for development.--[[User:Sage Ross (WMF)|Sage Ross (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sage Ross (WMF)|talk]]) 02:37, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

#If this extension ''is'' used, the community should be able to control it like any other user rights.--[[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] [[User talk:Jasper Deng|(talk)]] 22:50, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

# I can support either this approach, or the one directly above, in which trusted members of the Education Project decide who gets the permissions. I oppose the third option, in which any autoconfirmed user can get it. Please note that in an earlier trial of Pending Changes, some administrators were careful about who was given the Reviewer permission, but other administrators unfortunately gave it out like candy. Here, we need to be more careful than that. There need to be clearly defined criteria, agreed to in advance of enabling the extension, about which users may or may not be granted permissions. --[[User:Tryptofish|Tryptofish]] ([[User talk:Tryptofish|talk]]) 23:06, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

# Like Piotr, I think this is quite possible. I am not altogether sure it will be the best thing to do immediately, but I think it safe. The reason I think it safe is that no real harm can be done--we do have the ultimate control where it belongs. , of deleting articles by AfD , and other pages--including course pages if necessary, by MfD. By appearing open, we will best fulfill the general philosophy of Wikipedia, We may have programs in conjunction with schools, but we can ahardly pretend we know the only way of doing it right. I would be willing to try this immediately, but I can understand that others might not yet feel totally confident about it. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:DGG|DGG]] ([[User talk:DGG|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DGG|contribs]]) 05:06, August 25, 2012‎</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
