Does anyone know of an example Mediawiki installation with an additional
[draft] tab? How was it done? Thanks!
How hardwired is the article vs. discussion distinction, anyway?
I've long thought it would be potentially useful to have N
auxiliary pages for each article, rather than the current
exactly-one-with-the-name-"discussion".
The example I had in mind was a "rationale" page, which could
be an edited and distilled-down permanent essay, describing
why a complex or contentious article is written the way it is,
written for and read by an article's editors, not its readers.
(But that's just another example; what I'm interested in here
is the general principle.)
Clearly, you can always use subpages for draft versions or
rationales or what-have-you. But by the same argument, you
could use subpages (perhaps "/discussion") for discussion, too --
and yet we do have a preordained discussion page with its own
always-visible tab to get to it. How big a deal would it be for
the set of preordained, tabbed, auxiliary pages to have a
cardinality > 1, and to be programmable on a per-site basis?
(This is just food for thought; I'm not, like, actually
requesting such a feature right now or anything.)
