I saw a wiki once with a [draft] tab between [article] and [discussion]... 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.)
