[xwiki-devs] [Discussion] Should technical pages hide the bottom tabs?

Hi devs, For content pages, the bottom tabs (comments, attachments, history, information) are very useful features. But does it make sense to keep those active for very technical pages? For example, when viewing details about a tag, (Main/Tags?do=viewTag), why should people be allowed to comment? They might wrongly think that they're commenting on a tag, but that's just one complex page that handles almost everything about tags, so a comment like "this tag has a typo" doesn't help at all. Other pages should have no bottom tabs as well: user directory, blog category management, the whole scheduler space, share by email... While the homepage is a technical page (by default), it does make sense to leave the comments active, since it's the entry point for every user (although I think that the messaging system is a better way to send global messages). IMO, the advantage is that we're hiding actions that are rarely useful, but could be misused. The disadvantage is that we're breaking the universality of the UI. I'm +1 for hiding, fewer mis-usable features is always better. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
