# PC level 1 proved to be a spectactular failure: added complexity, reduced performance, conflicting views as to what editors should look for, and generally less usable than our current system. PC level 2, while underused previously, appeared to have actual merit and value. I would support a move to add PC 2 to our toolset, but oppose PC 1.—[[User:Kww|Kww]]([[User talk:Kww|talk]]) 19:27, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

# There are over 3000 pages under [[:Category:Wikipedia semi-protected pages]]; of which I can only assume a good portion will eventually achieve "pending changes" status instead. This is not to mention [[Category:Biography articles of living people]] which contains over '''500,000''' pages, of which it is safe to assume at least a small portion will achieve "pending changes" status as well. Let's assume that only 1% of BLPs eventually get saddled with pending changes: That's 8,000 articles. Who is going to review all of these? And more importantly, ''what projects will suffer from losing editors to pending changes''. I suspect [[Special:Newpages]] and [[Special:Recentchanges]] will lose some people, and those projects are incredibly backlogged already. There just aren't enough man-hours to go around, and not enough benefit to the Wiki. This is only one of my reasons for not supporting Pending Changes, but I feel a long-winded tirade would be unwelcome here. Great idea, but then again so is communism: It only works on paper. -<b>[[User:Runningonbrains|<span style="color:#000">Running</span><font color="blue">On</font><font color="green">Brains</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Runningonbrains|talk]])</sup></b> 21:38, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
