Hi, IMO: - Templates should be created by Administrators, this means the ability to set a new wiki as template or mark/edit an existing wiki as template should be visible just to Administrators. http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/WikiTemplates/edit-create.png - If creating a template is allowed just to Administrators, for me is normal that the management is available in the Administration area: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/WikiTemplates/manage.png
- Since templates are used for creation purposes and act as blueprints, a normal user should not see them or want to interact with them (as an Admin I wouldn't want that normal users create new page content on my template wikis or that they join it, etc). This mean that Wiki templates should not be visible in 'Wiki Index'. 'Wiki Index' purpose is to act like a place where the user can navigate toward wikis or manage his joining policy. So having what I say in mind means: - 'Wiki Index': -- don't display hidden wikis, except if set otherwise in the Profile; -- don't display template wikis, since they are not indented for normal users and you can manage them from Administration; - 'Creation Step': -- don't display normal/hidden wikis (logical); -- don't display 'hidden' templates, except otherwise specified in the Profile; -- display templates (in future flavors) (old mockups, but still partial relevant) http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/CreateWikiImprovements/CreateWikiOption.png The above ideas are gathered here http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/WikiTemplates Thanks, Caty On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 7:59 PM, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]>wrote: > +1 > > On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 6:02 PM, Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau > <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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.
