When block or unblock a page, a NullRevision is created (Revision::newNullRevision) and all pages which using this page as template have a pending change ("There are template/file changes awaiting review"). It is possible to ignore these changes for FlaggedRevs?
Thanks.

Addition: When a page from an unreviewable namespace is used as a template in a reviewable namespace and get a block, all the user of the template have to reviewed manual.
I don't think there is any effective way to check for this at all (skipping down the top X edits because they are null). Even with some rev_type flag or something, it would not be efficient like checking page_latest, so you would need a page_latest_unique or something.
This looks like a wontfix unfortunately.
Alternately, findPendingTemplateChanges() could fetch and compare the rev_text_id field for $revIdDraft and $revIdStable...at a performance penalty.

Done in r77211. Shouldn't have little db effect.
