Wikidot Open Source

You can use a [[button]] to show individual page options. Moreover, you could add several buttons into your side-bar, or add them manually at the bottom of a page.

Ups. There is no option to add a "discuss" button. Something that could be added indeed — and it should be done by adding options to the lib/Text_Wiki/Wiki/Render/Xhtml/Button.php file. But other buttons should work fine.

And yes, I am trying to invite everyone to dev.wikidot.org :-D Improving Wikidot is not that difficult.

Can we think at an overall separation or hiding for things that that user aren't allowed to see / follow / use. Such as nav entries, edit+ buttons, links to page. I would be happy if all of this would be grayed, rather than hidden, so that people would

1. get familiar to it and
2. be 'pulled' to join.

To do it simply, this may lead to a conditional statement, that is an if. This would be used to test system variables such as :
[[if %user.status="member"]]
organisation
[[/if]]
[[if %user.status<>"member"]]
[grey]
organisation
[/grey]
[[/if]]
(the meta-pages about the wiki's organisation are opened only to members)
No matter if greyed links look more or less like unexisting links.
