Description Jeff Martin 2006-08-01 19:49:12 UTC Add a system for article forking. This is different than tagging or marking revisions of an article. Comment 1 Aryeh Gregor (not reading bugmail, please e-mail directly) 2006-08-01 20:34:23 UTC This would be pretty much the same as adding a "copy" option, in addition to move. Seems a good idea. Comment 2 Raimond Spekking 2006-08-01 20:36:47 UTC Maybe could be realized via the transwiki import/export function. I like the idea too. Comment 3 Rob Church 2007-03-27 21:25:27 UTC We have the Duplicator extension now, which can create independent copies.
