It also seems that approving an edit doesn't increase the editor's yes votes on their profile page either.

assigning as per request on http://chatlogs.musicbrainz.org/musicbrainz/2012/2012-05/2012-05-05.html#T19-18-28-227686

and my suggestion for how to show the info:

19:23:51 [nikki] if they're not going to be counted as yes votes (even though they are basically just a super-yes : P), the profile page needs another row for approves...
19:24:18 [nikki] and maybe we could replace "closed:" with "approved:" if the edit was approved in the edit search results
19:24:59 [nikki] ('cause I can't think of any other concise but understandable way of showing it as a separate vote)

I guess I should also mention a few things:

Yes, it is intentional that approvals do not count as yes votes. They are more than just a yes vote, auto-editor approvals have no effect on the voting process so they shouldn't be considered as a yes vote.

In my fix up for review, I added the Approve vote statistic on the editor profile as nikki suggested and also changed the "Closed:" line to "Approved:" so that way on edit lists they are discernable from normal closing procedures.

What happened to this?

I do not see an open review for this so I am reopening it and removing the fix version.
