The thing I don't get in this mockup is, why would you have multiple drafts for one article? Also, are you planning on storing the version number that the original draft was created from, to let MediaWiki's normal edit conflict/resolution processes work their magic?
Yes and no. Bear in mind I've given away nothing about how I'm thinking of implementing this, remember? I haven't worked out all the details myself, yet.
Ok, well for me that question falls into user experience, rather than implementation, but as you like.
I like the idea of having one draft that I can come back to in the next half an hour or so. I'm not sure I understand the benefit of having multpile drafts that hang around for months at a time?
Then you clearly didn't read the information properly, did you? Because had you done so, you'd have found that I state drafts are cleaned up after a specific time period.
Sure I did, it says quite clearly: "...removed on a regular basis as they become too old." Could you be more specific? Is "too old" a question of days, weeks, months, or years?
