Show locked badge for locked wiki pages
0%
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,

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.

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.

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.

Here is the updated patch that always shows the locked badge.
