Forum:Can I check contributions before they get posted?

I'm just starting a wikki and want to be able to check/validate that posts are appropriate before they get published, how is this accomplished?

 * No, you can't. The most you can do is use Special:RecentChanges regularly to check if they are valid; the vast majority of them will be. Cat (meow ∙ hunt) 04:26, September 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Maybe request via Special:Contact Flagged Revisions for your wiki? Doubt they would agree.--PedroM (talk) 04:58, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also Recent changes patrol can be of great help. 06:33, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

 * If someone adds a lot of invalid contributions, you could briefly block them until it seems like they understand what they did wrong. This way if people learn, they not only won't make more mistakes, but can help you revert others people's. +Yc 07:45, September 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * See FlaggedRevs extension. It may be what you want. Not sure how easy it would be to get Wikia to install it for your wiki, though.
 * You can see the extension in action at mediawikiwiki:Extension:JIRA by noticing the "Pending changes" tab next to the "Read" tab at the top-right of the pag. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 28 Sep 2012 1:54 PM Pacific
