Yes, but see the below.

Go to the SideBar page itself and then approve the links.

It's not supposed to duplicate them, but there's a bug there.  I'll
see about fixing it soon.

What do you mean by "conditional approval"?

Do you want a blacklist or a whitelist?  You can easily implement a 
blacklist via the http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Blocklist recipe.
The whitelist for URLs can be created manually by editing the 
Main.ApprovedUrls page.

You want to *approve* these as opposed to blocklisting them?!?

I don't think that session time is a useful measure here.

Do you mean that you don't want the "approve urls" link to appear for
people who aren't logged in?  Or are you saying that you want urls
entered by logged in users to be automatically approved?
