With the conventional FlaggedRevs configuration, anonymous users can't see unreviewed changes, including changes made by them. Normally, anonymous users can see their own changes right after saving them; VisualEditor sometimes causes the page to be reloaded after a save, which makes changes disappear. Given the almost-complete lack of communication about the FlaggedRevs workflow to the editor (there is an edit notice, but VE makes those less prominent; see also T179326), this is a pretty confusing experience.

Probably the reload should add stable=0 to the URL so the edit is shown. FlaggedRevs' communication to the editor is poor and should be improved regardless, but showing how the edit looks seems like a sensible thing to do.
