Persistent Forking (WordPress plugin)
Created by: Julian Gonggrijp, Digital Humanities Lab, Utrecht University
Persistent Forking allows contributors of your site to create
permanent “forks” of existing posts. Every fork is a full-fledged
post in its own right and can be published as such. This
distinguishes Persistent Forking from the Post Forking plugin,
where forks are a collaborative tool in order to arrive at a single
definitive version. The parent-child relationships between posts are
tracked and it is possible to visualise the entire family tree of a
post.
Support
Please report any issue that you find while using the plugin at our
GitHub repository:
https://github.com/UUDigitalHumanitieslab/persistent-forking/issues
The first priority of the Digital Humanities Lab is to service
requests from Humanities researchers at Utrecht University. However,
the plugin is open source with a liberal license, so anyone can
provide a patch if we don’t follow up on your issue.
If you are interested in (Digital) Humanities, please have a look at
our website:

![When you click the "Fork" control, a new post is created and you are redirected to the editing form. The direct parent and the family are displayed in a metabox (red circle). The title of the parent post is copied with "[fork]" in front. As you can see, post contents are not copied over to the fork.](https://ps.w.org/persistent-forking/assets/screenshot-2.png?rev=1260307)
