Description

At the moment, wiki pages (such as the http://redmine.org/ homepage), for users without editing privileges, don't display any visible control for editing the page that indicate that this is the case. As a result, one wonders why they cannot be edited and what to do about it. This is the greyed-out-menu-items issue in UI usability all over again, only worse.

Please give a visible indicator for: 1. Why it cannot be done. 2. What to do about it.

Regards,

— Shlomi Fish

History

#1 Updated by Felix Dominguez over 9 years ago

Can you take a screenshot or two detailing what you see. I don't see controls for editing on the redmine homepage under IE.

That's the point - there aren't any, while there should be. I wondered how to edit the page (because it is indicated to be a wiki page), but they don't know.

#3 Updated by Mischa The Evil over 9 years ago

In this case the wiki page you were trying to edit (overview) is locked.

IMHO it would be good to have that "state" publicly visible with some sort of indicator. Perhaps re-use of the already available unlock icon can help here...

#8 Updated by Go MAEDA about 2 years ago

I think it would be nice if the locked status of a wiki page is shown next to the title, as already implemented for versions by #29391.

#9 Updated by Marius BALTEANU about 2 years ago

We cannot implement this using the solution with the badge because the title is part of the wiki page content and not a required property (sorry for my wrong proposal). It will look very weird when the user doesn't addd a title to the page, please see the below example:

What do you think if we add the information to the bottom of the page, next to "Updated by ... ago" ?

I think it is one of the ideas. But I really like the badge style you made.

IMHO it will be even nicer if the badge is used like the following. What do you think?

Here is a first version of the patch, but I'm not sure regarding the permissions.

@Go Maeda, when we should show the badge?

I don't think we have to care about permissions because the information about whether a wiki page is protected is not confidential. I think the badge should always be displayed.
