Is there an easy way to create the fix, but have the wiki store it in a
potential update queue - ie for approval/application ?
That would mean the wiki reviewer get's to be instantly useful, yet not
be able to do unexpected things to the "needing fixes" pages. We'd
probably require a detailed description of the potential change along
with the change itself.
Well, the closest thing that I know of is to put something in the
"Notes" page for the corresponding item under Packaging/, but its not
quite the same.
Sounds like an interesting idea for a MediaWiki plugin.
