The thing I don't get in this mockup is, why
would you have multiple
drafts for one article? Also, are you planning on storing the version
number that the original draft was created from, to let MediaWiki's
normal edit conflict/resolution processes work their magic?
Yes and no. Bear in mind I've given away nothing about how I'm
thinking of implementing this, remember? I haven't worked out all the
details myself, yet.
Ok, well for me that question falls into user experience, rather than
implementation, but as you like.
I like the idea of having one draft that I can
come back to in the
next half an hour or so. I'm not sure I understand the benefit of
having multpile drafts that hang around for months at a time?
Then you clearly didn't read the information properly, did you?
Because had you done so, you'd have found that I state drafts are
cleaned up after a specific time period.
Sure I did, it says quite clearly: "...removed on a regular basis as
they become too old." Could you be more specific? Is "too old" a
question of days, weeks, months, or years?
