Just an idea that i use with my site; I set up a new "Article" for each
release of the docs I'm working on. Each article is a version number with
special editing instructions as well as backup properties. Thus any
"registered" editor can set up a new issue with all the *appropriate* info
as well as wiki links to standardized items that are transcluded onto a
page. Pretty clean and no issues after several years of use.

I have a mediawiki installation for user documentation

project I manage. We'd like a feature that allows us to create a separate
branch that mirrors each released version of our software. The idea is that
if people are using version 4 of our software, they go to the wiki and make
sure they are looking at the "version 4" branch of the documentation. Of
course, the default branch of the wiki will be for our current release.
I have been unsuccessful at finding any core features or extensions that
allow something like this. Does anyone on the list have a suggestion?
If no solution exists, I think my best bet will be to create a separate
wiki for every version of our software. This will get tedious quickly as I
will have to update each wiki separately. Does anyone have a better
suggestion?
Thanks,
Ken
