User blog comment:Sirviantis/questions regarding putting OC's in pending/@comment-8182065-20140725084419

If you make any dramatic changes on the character's abilities and/or weapon it's advised to put them back in pending. The other parts of the page (appearance, personality, backstory) don't matter so much if you do make drastic changes.

And to your last point if you mean for the OC inspection/re-review, there's no specific date as of yet; just know it will be done some time when volume 2 ends. http://rwbyfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:72524
