[Mediawiki-l] Named Versions?

[Jan Steinman]

Please forgive me for not searching bugzilla first, but is anyone  
else interested in named versions?

It would be great to "flag" bits of history, like "this was stable,  
just prior to a massive set of changes." Or simply to be able to mark  
events in history, like when a given version of a page was accepted  
by consensus or other decree. Or it might be used like software  
releases, like a bunch of pages with a version name of '1.5.5'.

This could be used in a powerful version control system, whereby all  
pages with identical versions could be exported to create a snapshot  
of the wiki at some point in name, if not in time. (Like ENVY/ 
Developer, Rick! :-)

(Okay. Just say it's in bugzilla, and I'l go crawl back under my  
rock... :-)
