Hi devs.
In the coming 5.3 milestone 2, all wikis are displayed in the Wiki Index,
including the templates, which was not the case before.
From the user point of view, maybe these templates
should not be listed in
the Wiki Index. But on the other hand, if you want to see a
template, you
will not be able to access through the wiki index.
We also have introduced the "hidden" flag for wikis (in the WikiDescriptor,
not in the UI yet). If we consider template wikis are "technical" wikis, we
may use this flag to hide them. Then, in the Wiki Index, we don't care if a
wiki is a template or not, we only care about the "hidden" flag. If the
user does not want to see the templates in the list, she can mark them as
hidden, exactly as we do for documents.
But what about the template list in the wiki creation wizard? Should we
list all templates, or only the visible ones?
My proposition:
- all wikis are visible though the wiki index (template or not).
- if we want to hide templates to the users, we use the hidden flag in the
wiki descriptor.
- in the wiki creation wizard, we display all the templates, even these
which are tagged as hidden.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Louis-Marie
