{{ambox|text=This is draft for a new Pending changes RFC. It is not an active proposal at this time, please do not add comments, endorsements, etc to this page. To discuss this idea please go to [[Wikipedia talk:Pending changes/Request for Comment 2012|the talk page]]. Thanks.}}

===Purpose===
 
The purpose of this request for comment is to determine what the future of [[Wikipedia:Pending changes|pending changes]] on the English Wikipedia will be. Due to problems with the previous discussions this request for comment will be restricted in its scope. All participants are asked to respect these limitations. A group of volunteer coordinators will be administrating this process, their task will be to keep the discussion focussedfocused on the relevant issues and at the conclusion of this process to perform a close which reflects the community's desires.
 
Three positions are presented. They are designed to be mutually exclusive of one another. Therefore, each participant will choose one position only to endorse. If you change your mind and decide to switch positions, please strike out your previous endorsement but do not remove it entirely. Users may participate in the discussion section regardless of whether they have endorsed one of the three positions, but are asked ''not to make alternate proposals''. Unregistered users may participate in the discussion section but may not endorse a position due to the risk of [[WP:SOCK|sockpuppetry]].

The tool should be used in accordance with the following draft policy. This policy is intended to reflect the community input in discussions. It is not set in stone and after use of the tool is resumed there may be unanticipated problems which can be corrected through normal consensus gathering processes.</div>
