Some things we should consider:
- Should we re-integrate the meta.wikipedia as a "meta:" namespace?
If we can have a separate "Recent Changes" page, sounds good to me.
- Should we then (or anyway;) enable each user to select the namespaces he
wants to see on the Recent Changes?
That would be one way to accomplish the above! Interesting!
- Should we then turn the meta namespace on or off by default?
Off; on the other hand, as soon as the majority of the people who are interested in Meta-W. turn it on, all the changes will be intruding side-by-side with other changes, which is a bad thing, I think.
- Should we introduce some users with a "trusted" status? So some "old
hands" could do some maintnance, like permanently deleting obsolete pages, without access to the really crucial functions like direct database access.
Generally, I'm opposed to this, for reasons we've rehearsed (regarding that cabal thing, y'know :-) ). Unless there really is a need for this that I'm not seeing right now.
