Hi,There seems to be an issue with the extension: It seems when I saved a
draft after editing a section, the draft was considered a draft of the
corresponding section number (it was mentioned as "Article#Section name" in
the list of drafts). If the given section was removed, clicking on this
saved draft I received the error that "section number 6 doesn't exist",
and
thus it could not restore the draft.
Changing the page, to again contain at least 6 sections, restoring the draft
was possible, at the cost of removing the new section that has replaced it.
I believe that this is not really user friendly, even if this is intended
behaviour. (You click on a named section and receive a raw number (of the
section) in the error message; without any help message or the possibility
to restore the text of your draft is someone changes the page in the mean
time in an unexpected way).
Best regards,
Bence Damokos

A possible option would be to have a checkbox
(probably on
Special:Drafts itself, to avoid cluttering the edit page and to avoid
accidental clicks) to mark drafts as public. This would be especially
useful when combined with bug 17067, the ability to create drafts of
protected pages, a user could make a draft, mark it as public, then link
to it for an admin to add to the page.
I worry it goes beyond what Drafts attempted to do. So now you start
having queues of Drafts, someone seeing the public draft shouldn't
delete others drafts when saving, but perhaps the original draft should
be marked as 'Foo did an edit from this'. Should the history mark the
draft author somewhere?
Welcome to the Wikimedia developer life, Trevor.
