Thanks, mybugs, for answering #2 and #3. So the response to #1 should be no because the draft is not publicly visible, and #4 & #8 would be moot if it is seen only by the user. So this leaves: 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.] 9) Will drafts be included in dumps? 10) What evidence is there that *users* want this feature? I learned long ago not to assume too much here. For the record, I'd strongly urge that the first response to any Bugzilla that will result in a change to the UI should be "Please point me to the community discussion that recommends this change." I'm not sure why the WMF would be investing 20% of an engineer's time without any evidence that [multiple] communities are interested in activating an extension. There are plenty of extensions around that, simply put, aren't used because they're unwanted or have a negative impact on a project. Unexpected and undiscussed UI changes have repeatedly caused significant discord between communities and Engineering. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
