Description

We talked to Chris Finke about this. The salient points are:
- Mozilla is doing this on their MDN wiki
- pass `wiki-revision` as the type
- only pass the added lines from the edit
- reasonable to use this only to display some info on the approval screen, maybe discard very bad edits indicated by Akismet
- check the Jetpack contact form code for how to utilize the Akismet plugin to do most of the work for you (including API key)

Research direction

Start by examining the Jetpack contact form code for Akismet plugin usage, including API-key handling, then trace the suggestions approval screen and edit data. Done means sending only added lines with type `wiki-revision`, using Akismet to show moderation information on approval, and deciding how very bad edits should be handled.
