Well, it does in cases where the use of templates is replaced by the use of slots - if e.g. template documentation was stored in a slot instead of a subpage, you would always see the correct version of the documentation for old versions of the template. But that would be because it would no longer use the template mechanism.
Ok, I got confused. Does that mean that the documentation will not have its wikipage address anymore ?
Would this then be possible to have a special type of "reference" slot which would hold a pointer to another page revision ? I guess the parser could be modified to maintain those reference slots when page are saved.
For example the parser computes a new version of the page when its content is modified, and when he expands a template a hook triggers the slot mangager to store the revision number of the template with those "reference" slots - I guess this this kind of hooks or something similar exists since we got a list of the used templates on previsualisation of a page.
