Comment:

 Just ran across this issue for a client. They wanted to be able to
 structure a large quantity of pages, with the pages still marked as Draft
 or Pending, but the parent page dropdowns shown within the Quick Edit or
 Page Attribute metabox would only show Published pages.

 Fortunately there is a filter on the arguments used for the Quick Edit
 called 'quick_edit_dropdown_pages_args' which i've hooked into the add the
 other statuses (see code below). The Page Attributes metabox doesn't have
 any filter. So I changed the code to add one (patch provided - meta-
 boxes.diff ).

 None of the patches previously on this ticket seem to add this filter, but
 it'd be nice for it to be there to match up with the Quick Edit one at
 least.

 {{{
 function show_all_pages_in_admin_parent_pages_dropdown($args) {
   $args['post_status'] = array('publish', 'draft', 'pending', 'private');
   return $args;
 }
 add_filter( 'quick_edit_dropdown_pages_args',
 'show_all_pages_in_admin_parent_pages_dropdown' );
 add_filter( 'page_attributes_dropdown_pages_args',
 'show_all_pages_in_admin_parent_pages_dropdown' );
 }}}
