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.
Screenshots
![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)
