Staging_and_Approval

Introduction

• Anonymous & the Registered group can view the wiki pages (which are approved) but Registered can also comment on pages. Only the Authors and Approvers groups can edit a page. As soon as a page is edited, a page with the same name preceded with * is created. An Author or an Approver can still continue to edit the staging page (with the name beginning with *).
• The Approvers group can approve a staging page. As soon the page is approved, content and history are copied to the approved page. The staging page is deleted.
• Permissions over staging and approved pages are done with 2 categories. It is possible to have regular categories (Registered can have tiki_p_view_categories, tiki_p_view_categorized... without breaking the staging feature.
