RSS feed of (unpatrolled) RecentChanges from a MediaWiki, where each item’s link is the diff page for that edit. Shove a lot of items into the feed, don’t cache it so much, work from that for RecentChangesPatrol.
RecentChangesPatrol is this amazing wiki pattern / pathology where people review and approve every single (anonymous) edit on a wiki. Holy crapola, right? But still, the technology isn’t helping, and a RecentChangesPatrol feed could save a lot of ⌘-clicking and opening and closing of browser tabs.

Hey Brian, how ’bout a “patrol all” feature for when someone’s either making a ton of experimental or incremental edits to one page (working on a template or a major refactoring, for example) or when someone’s doing some repetitive crap task to a hundred pages or something like that? Can this vaporware somehow just poof into existence for me? :-)
