# It seems that there are many issues with the current policy of when to use Pending Changes. It would seem in some very specific cases that it could be a helpful tool, such as with frequently vandalized pages, those of a complicated topic (advanced physics for example) or things that arent hard facts (many car pages for instance have a constant back and forth when uses change them from "Sportscars" to "Supercars" and vice versa). However I would like to see a more developed - and clearly written policy. This needs to be able to be explained to new or inexperienced users without consulting a chart with more color-coding than a rainbow or a wall of text. If its implemented in a way that seems obtuse to users it may discourage them and reduce the potential pool of contributors.

# '''Endorse'''. While I see the (potential) benefits of this proposal there are, in its current form, too many open ends with some important concerns (reviewers, when to use PC) that do not seem adequately addressed. --[[User:Wolbo|Wolbo]] ([[User talk:Wolbo|talk]]) 21:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

#My views are at [[WT:Pending_changes/Request_for_Comment_2012#My four cents]]. Since people insist on knowing "the percentage", if you have to put me in a column, put me in the "support PC" column, but I think the years of voting over this divisive issue have done more harm than either implementing it or not implementing it ever will. A different approach is needed to RFCs in general and this one in particular. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 23:51, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
