Evaluation Drupal 6 wiki modules
I have written up my experience evaluating the Drupal 6 modules for my attempt to create a mediawiki-like site.
Comments
node duplication/redirect or deletion
Thanks a lot for your review! Very helpful. However, I got two more wiki features for which I need a drupal module.
(i) ability to flag a node as a duplicate and adding a redirection to the preferred node
(ii) some module to handle trashing of nodes: instead of returning 404, some message to mention that the node has been trashed, which is not an actual deletion of the node.
A couple of ideas.
TWiki handles this with webs. There's a "Trash" web that things can be moved to.
I implemented Webs in TWikifilter using taxonomy. You could probably do something similar and setup a view to see all "trashed" nodes.
Recently flag module has interested me. You can create flags on a per user or global basis (and views and actions compatible). You can probably have an action to unpublish the node and a view for admins to see unpublished nodes.
trash module for the second one
Just found the trash module, which might solve both requested features:
(i) flagging a node as duplicate is like trashing a node + adding a redirection
(ii) deleting a node just means trashing a node
Now, lets see whether this trash module can handle this.
Workflow instead of Trash module
It looks like the trash module is not a viable solution, instead a solution with the workflow module looks like the best option.
