[WikiEN-l] Idea from Citizendium: list of corrections

An interesting idea, but not something that's practical or desirable
for all articles. If we list corrections I fear we'll give the
impression that the current article is guaranteed to be error-free
(that makes no sense, but I fear it's what will happen).

If, with the new FlaggedRevisions extension that's on its way, we end
up with a "fact checked" option (under whatever name), we could list
corrections made to versions which have been declared correct by
someone, but we certainly shouldn't try and do it for all articles.
