RE: [Phpwiki-talk] Version Criteria

[Frank S. <fra...@rn...>]

With the proviso that I run a (fairly recent) CVS PhpWiki:

If I make a page and you edit it then that's a major edit (unless you tick
the "minor edit" checkbox, as you mentioned).

If I make a page and then edit that page again then that's a minor edit
(unless I untick the "minor edit" checkbox").

If I make a page and don't edit the page for a long time (the exact time is
configurable, but I think it defaults to something like 7 days) and then
edit it again, that's a major edit.

Those are the major cases, at any rate - I'm not sure if my list is
exhaustive.

As to the number of minor edits, this is configurable in index.php (look for
MINOR_EDIT_TIMEOUT and the like), but the default behaviour is quite
sensible. Using the SystemInfo plugin, mine is left as the default
configuration, which is this:

"Keep up to 8 major edits, but keep them no longer than 32 days. Keep up to
4 minor edits, but keep them no longer than 7 days. Keep the latest
contributions of the last 8 authors up to 365 days. Additionally, try to
keep the latest contributions of all authors in the last 7 days (even if
there are more than 8 of them,) but in no case keep more than 20 unique
author revisions."

In other words, you should never get to have 256 minor edits on a page - the
older edits will be discarded. Not your changes, obviously!
