Well, this seems to make sense for a wiki that's dedicated to
creating textbooks, e.g. see this page which covers the
reviewing process:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Help:Revision_review

  Wikibooks uses the FlaggedRevs extension (also known as
  flagged revisions or stable revisions) so that editors and
  reviewers can review page revisions for quality. Reviewed
  pages are said to be stable.

  This feature allows readers who are not logged in, or have
  set their stability preferences accordingly, to be served
  with stable versions for pages where they exist. This
  makes low activity books more resistant to vandalism.

  Regular contributors are automatically given editor status
  by the software. Editors automatically review pages at the
  lowest setting (called sighting a page) when they save, so
  active books will usually have contributions by
  non-editors added shortly after they are committed.

This underlines the point that Wikibooks is not ideal for a general
purpose Clojure wiki.
