--- Comment #23 from Risker <[email protected]> 2012-09-16 19:11:13 UTC --- (In reply to comment #8) > Trevor is looking at this extension for review & improvement. See > https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:mediawiki/extensions/Drafts+-owner:L10n-bot,n,z > . Couple of questions: 1) Will these be indexed? 2) Can they be deleted? 3) Do they show up in Recent Changes? 4) Is suppression enabled? 5) How long between creation and "automatic expiry"? Is this configurable by user or only within the code? 6) Will the edits made in a "draft" count as edits statistically? 7) When drafts are "saved" into the page, is the edit history of the draft incorporated into the page history? If so, is there a way to indicate that it was made on a "different" page and not directly into the article? [Note that one of the biggest issues in merging page histories is that it is pretty much impossible to correctly identify what past versions of the page looked like.] 8) When drafts expire, is that information completely inaccessible, or accessible only under specific circumstances? [It's important to be able to re-access any material that was *ever* publicly viewable because we never know which bits will wind up requiring some sort of response in the future.] 9) Will drafts be included in dumps? 10) What evidence is there that *users* want this feature? I think there is a faulty assumption behind some of the discussion here, that users are saving frequently because of fear of losing their work. This isn't true; users save frequently because (a) they want to see their work in the context of the page being edited, (b) there is a systemic problem with saving work because of time-outs or the system logging them out/otherwise not accepting edits, that will not be rectified by this and (c) they are beefing up their edit counts without using scripts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
