I think we should be able to make clusters without cluster pages.
A lot of time, you want to perform 10 operations on a set of pages, and you want to cluster them.
You don't want to have to make a whole page to just group a bunch of edits.
Now, if you want to attach an explanation to a cluster, that might be something we want to allow. But I don't think it should be required.
The default cluster page should show you:
You could implement the cluster by automatically generating a page as soon as a cluster is assigned. Whatever.
Just: If we want to actually use clusters, then we shouldn't have to make entire pages. Right now, it's too much work. It requires too much thought and consideration.

Just pick a WikiWord, stick it at the top, follow the ?, create a blank page. We don't need complex content, or explanations. Is that still too much effort?Or just pick one of the pages in the cluster to be the root, as I did with CliquesAndCommunities.

Yes. It is too much effort.(BTW, I would think you'd want to delete that page when you're done with it, too.)

i don't know that it's too much effort per se (i am not that wiki-trained yet to expect a minimum), but it's not intuitively obvious, i think, and that makes it less powerful.[new]
Lion: I think I get what you're driving at now. The problem is in clustering revisions, right?Piranha: Are you saying that editing clustering is nonintuitive, or viewing? Is the problem how we tell the engine to cluster, or how the engine uses clusters?

editing. took me forever to figure out how to make a cluster, and i am not particularly slow on the uptake.[new]
You can blame Alex for that
Can you suggest a better way without making clusters extrinsic? For instance: PeriPeri uses the following line in its metadata-header:Publisher: <name of cluster>
