[Moin-user] Wiki staging area

[Rick Vanderveer]

I have a few pages I have to stage occasionally.

However, I don't do anything as fancy as a stage server, and I might suggest
that's completely overkill.  All I do is simply draft the page on a new
separate page on my personal wiki page (with read/write rights set to none
for all but me).  Then, when comes time to make the page live, I simply copy
the wiki markup and paste it into the target page.  Easy!

If you have a handful of images, you can upload them separately, or go into
the backend and move them from the draft page to the target page.  Whichever
is easier.
