Thank you :)

What I ended up doing was reading scripts/urlapprove.php and learned I could 
put this in local/News.php:

<?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();
$EnableUrlApprovalRequired = 0;

Do you see anything wrong with that approach? I'm still learning php.
I like the one-liner you made, but which is the better way of doing this?

Thanks for the advice,
