Have you tried using [[Include()]], to include common section, or Dictionaries to replace variables ? Also, you could have a page, that [[Include]] the four sub pages. When I need to edit multiple related pages, I usually open multiple tabs in my browser (the drawback is that you only have one MoinEditorBackup). > The problem is that MoinMoin versions individual pages and, as far as I > can tell, there is no way to address a common snapshot of old versions. > It's kind of like CVS without tags. > > Oh yeah, another disadvantage: > > * no concept of review/approval -- this ties in with versioning, since > the whole point is to say, "Tom and Dick approved v3, so that is the > gold standard we will use -- the docs for NewFeature are frozen at > v3". > > This one is a bit unfair: it's really not something I would expect a > wiki to have.
