I have a situation where I'd like to be able to disable the "remove from queue" link, but leave the "add to queue" link enabled. Basically it's a situation where there should always be 1 item in the queue. We had an incident where an admin accidently clicked the link and the featured item was removed from the queue, leaving it empty. This messed up the homepage. Obviously this wasn't a huge problem since they just needed to go back and feature the item again, but I thought ... "There no real need for the 'Unfeature Album' link to even be there. Maybe I can just delete the text for that, so that the admins can only add items into the queue" but when I did that, both links disappeared.

Anyway, just wanted to post this as a feature I think would be good in specific circumstances.

Title: create a queue with only "add to queue" - disable "remove from queue" » Minimum Queue size
Version: 5.x-2.0 » 5.x-2.2

It sounds like what you're asking for is a configurable minimum queue size, right? Perhaps a textfield for the # and a checkbox for "enforce minimum queue size." If a queue does not contain more than the minimum number of nodes, it would be impossible to remove any nodes from the queue. This kind of restriction should probably be override-able by admins, perhaps with the "enforce" option, since being unable to remove a node accidentally added could become annoying pretty quickly.
