Has Wikia considered automating the code inspections? Some changes can be easily inspected by a computer, rather than needing a human to inspect them.

For example, if your only change is installing a single script from the dev wiki, that's generally a safe change, and a program could identify such simple changes and auto-approve them. The only changes that would need staff evaluation would be the ones which had significant changes, with Wikia's systems determining which ones were significant. This would eliminate roughly half the problem, and speed up the other codechecks.
