I already told Magnus, if there's anything terribly wrong with it it'll get fixed after it's turned on (and if necessary, back off).

Indeed :-)

It's a solution in search of a problem; it doesn't solve the validated-version-display issue in any way, it's just a survey form that might, in theory, produce data that might, in theory, be interesting or useful to someone one day.

We (or I) have a plan to apply it. Call it a medium-term solution, trying to go straight to the deep answer :-)

(I could be completely wrong and the results could be complete rubbish, of course.)

Will it be worth the trouble of turning it on and possibly having to deal with fixing it when further problems become evident? Who knows.

...

So. What's up with Special:Validate?

It's on my list for this week, I'll see about getting it turned on and working.

:-D

Please let me know when you do, as I have a profound interest in this and will be watching it closely!

Thanks, Brion :-)
