Log more events in the edithistory?by jdporter (Paladin) |

Currently, the edithistory (i.e. that data displayed by Recent Janitorial Edits) is only used for logging edits to the document content of nodes (under certain circumstances). There are several other kinds of janitorial actions which do not get logged — for example, moving a node to a different section. I know there've been times when I wished this other kind of info was logged in the edithistory. I made one change recently in this direction; it could be called a proof of concept: if you move a node using the Moderation Nodelet (which, btw, is deprecated in favor of the Approval Nodelet), this gets logged. So, what do we think? Should we log more janitorial event types besides node content editing? If so, what types should we [not] log? And why? Update: Here is a list of the possibilities:
IMHO, we almost certainly do not want to log #1 and #3, as those are far too numerous, and of relatively little importance. And at any rate, the info on a node's current approval status is already being stored elsewhere.
Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.
