Hi,
I was quite upset to realize, after upgrading from 4.7 to 5.1 that the content types workflow "Moderation queue" box was removed from drupal 5.
Removing features from core products is usually avoided by plague by developers, I wish it would be the same for drupal, because it could throw your users into troubles.
Cordially,
Brakkar

Check what Dries has to say about that
Backward compatibility
Why they specifically did this, I don't know. I do know that the "moderate" field is still present in the node table.

specifically on the "Moderation queue"
it was only inconsistently implemented in previous versions of core -- some places would display things to non-admin users that were waiting for moderation, other places would hide them. basically, it was yet another thing you had to filter on (in addition to published vs. unpublished) and lots of places in core (and probably 1000s of places in contrib) got this wrong. it would have taken massive effort to actually make it work as expected, and it was considered too confusing (and not useful enough) to keep going forward. there are some contrib modules that implement this better and more consistently, so the core developers decided to just remove it, instead of trying to fix all the bugs and problems. removing partially broken functionality in favor of cleaner solutions seems like a fine move to me, especially given Drupal's stance on backwards compatibility.

That works for me
Does that mean I can hijack the moderate field?
