We really, really need stable versions. There's no point in trying to spruce up the writing style of heavily-trafficked articles until we get them; I gave up a long time ago.
There's a new MediaWiki version coming up very soon now, will stable versions finally be enabled in it?
Can someone explain how stable versions could possibly help any of this?
In the case of prose quality degrading over time due to subsequent edits adding poorly-integrated material it will allow the older "high-quality" version of the article to be marked and displayed prominently while the edits go on, only updating the marked version to a more recent one once the article reaches a new level of quality that's better overall.
