This is from a developer's perspective, not a user's. I was only really thinking about user-visible consistency. From that perspective, I think it's clear that using only special pages with no actions would be an improvement. I don't think the URL differences need to be reflected in the code. If you really liked, you could implement the special pages as wrappers around the current code, so the special page just called the same Article method as now (maybe with a bit of refactoring). > (I know Aryeh makes up his mind about things like this rather faster > than I do; I look forward to his reply which will no doubt tell me all > the reasons why he's not changing his position.)
