Following on from the discussion in the thread "Article on Pumps" I've been
wondering if we could have an area of the wiki for articles that are so
seriously 'under construction' that they should be kept separate from
articles which are reasonably comprehensive and accurate. That way a
casual visitor to the wiki doesn't get put off by dipping into articles
which are half finished, but potential contrubutors who want to write an
article on something can add to a partly-constructed article rather than
starting from scratch.

As an experiment I've moved an article I've been working on, on showers,
to ZZZ/Showers
http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php?title=ZZZ/Showers

It's not quite as good as having a separate namespace in the wiki but it
means that it appears at the end of the all-pages listing
http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php?...ecial:Allpages

I've also created an 'Under Construction' template (imaginatively titled
'Under-construction' :-)) which I've applied to this article.

What do people think of this?

Seems ok, although I expect the template alone is probably enough... if
you arrive at an article and the first thing you see is a message saying
it is not done, then you can't expect too much from it regardless of its
name.
