Perhaps it needs more discussion before thinking about implementing. I do think the ubiquitous flags are a turn-off that adds to the sense that the site is less than reliable, but others may disagree or assign a much lower priority. I think wikis in general have extra UI problems in appearing authoritative. However, if it's a good idea to implement, then it applies to the other thread about top-level menus. There can be an extra menu with useful authoring/editing links that only appears when you're logged in. --Mike Sierra On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 10:47 AM, PhistucK <phistuck@gmail.com> wrote: > Looks like we need http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConditionalShow > in order to implement your suggestion. > > ☆PhistucK > > On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 5:15 PM, Mike Sierra > <letmespellitoutforyou@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I would definitely present the nonstandard icon on the target page, >> not just in the links. >> >> One other suggestion, though: present various red editorial flags only >> if you're logged in to edit pages.
