When I installed the monobook template I see Old Revisions and Show Source on just about all pages.
This is because I do all of the "button logic" myself from within the template based on the "context of the page", see context.php in the monobook archive. I do this to get that mediawiki "look and feel."
Also, I have noticed that templates do not utilize the Discussion "feature" the same; for example MonoBook uses a talk:start format and ACH uses a discussion:start format; my vote is for discussion:start -- but thats debateable.
"discussion" is also a bigger word than "talk", and if you view wikipedia, you'll see they use the "talk" namespace, which are the two reasons why I've chosen that as default.
Regardless of that though, its changeable in monobook through $monobook['discussion-location'] = "path";
Discussions are not part of DokuWiki itself, it is supported via the template, some fairly simple logic, and some simple ACL. I described it in an earlier email to the list, you can search the archives for this one if you're really curious.
I imagine it could be pulled out and exported as a plugin for general use, though you would still have to have additional code added to your template to make sure to call it properly for the buttons/links to access it.
Overall the enhancements and changes have been great =) and I don't mind the few small bugs -- ultimately I'm going to pick a single template and stick with it -- so far the ACH model is winning =)
