Even if we only applied stable versions to a select
few articles (say, those
that seem to get sprotected all the time, because vandals think they're
funny, or anything that may have or frequently has BLP concerns), it would
probably go a long way toward avoiding this sort of situation, and the
resulting press.
Note by the way that stable versions doesn't exist yet. If this
'showing stuff under 24 hours old' is in fact technically not
horrible, run it past wikitech-l or #wikimedia-tech and see what the
devs think of the idea. And if it exists first, then our readers (who
now vastly outnumber our editors) will have another thing that makes
Wikpedia more useful to them.
