Public bug reported: Sparked by the tweet https://twitter.com/glynnmark/status/1450695651541635074
To support our efforts for an inclusive software, being able to display pronouns would be good. Technically, this can already be done through the display name if that is allowed in an instance, but that can make searching for a name more difficult. I also discussed this briefly with a couple of people after one of the 'New features of Mahara 21.10' sessions at the beginning of November 2021. Here's the conversation starter. Add a new field 'Pronouns' to the 'Profile' /artefact/internal/index.php This would be an optional field. If it were filled in: - When you create a portfolio page, add it as a new option in the 'Name display format' and make it the default option in the 'Advanced' settings for a page. Keep the current options so that learners can decide whether to display their pronouns on their portfolio pages. - Add it to the name displayed on the profile page. This would be a free-text field as there is no convention for displaying pronouns. I've seen (for one pronoun): - she/her - she / her - she/her/hers If added behind a name, use: Name (what is displayed in the pronoun field) I'm a bit undecided yet about adding it fully to the display name function as the displayed names for admin and staff can get very long, e.g. if you have a display name set, they also see your real name and always see the username. with pronouns it would be even longer, e.g. My fabulous display name (Paula Paulsen - [email protected] - she / her / hers) - In line with this change, but a change that should be done separately s the removal of the 'Gender' field in the resume.
