Meta Is there a problem with the edit queues?

Addressing only the technical (platform) issues, and not community culture:

We need to make pending edits more visible in two ways.  As you said, you have to go to each category to see what's waiting.  But an even bigger problem is that even within the same category, nothing lights up to tell you there's stuff waiting: you have to proactively visit the edits page.

For a while I've been wanting to add a "new stuff waiting" indicator, like the silver circle you get for new posts in other categories.  And I'd like to unify the pending-edits pages, or at least cross-link them and include that indicator about other categories.  For example, if you visit the edits page on meta, you'd at least see that there are pending edits in the sandbox (if you can't actually see them from meta).

We have a [GitHub issue on the roadmap](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/452) to improve this.  I'm not much of a developer and I don't know Ruby except by pattern-matching; I tried to add the silver dot but got stuck.

We're aware of the problem but haven't fixed it yet.  (If anybody wants to take a stab at it, we'd be happy to have you!)
