Bug #: 29127
Summary: LiquidThreads should not automatically sign posted
comments.
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: LiquidThreads
AssignedTo: agarr...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: thor.malmjurs...@yahoo.co.uk
CC: bhar...@wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
On a fair few Wikis I've seen, one of the biggest bugbears for me certainly is
the lack of new users who remember to sign their posts. I'd like to ask that
the autosign feature of LiquidThreads is removed, since one of its supporting
functions is to make commenting easier for new users, and having it
automatically sign posts / comments is not going to help new users to learn
that elsewhere, they have to do that for themselves with the ~~~~ thing.
The other issue is that quite often, certainly at Wikinews, where LQT is
operational for our comments namespace, we get double signatures on threads
where people automatically use the ~~~~ without remembering that it autosigns
everything.
Can someone please fix this? Probably a checkbox saying "Don't sign my post,
I'll use my own signature" or something?
