Description Michael Kelly 2012-10-08 16:58:35 UTC 
There's been a few people in the IRC channel who were confused about the fact that webplatform.org is a user-editable wiki.

I'd like to suggest adding an edit button to content pages that leads to a login/registration form. Having an edit button on every page for logged-out users might be a stronger indicator that anyone can contribute, especially given the fact that the site doesn't look like the wiki that most people are familiar with (Wikipedia).

line 1917 of SkinTemplate.php:
if ( $title->quickUserCan( 'edit', $user ) && ( $title->exists() || $title->quickUserCan( 'create', $user ) ) ) { ...show edit button with link to account creation page... }

also:
$user->isLoggedIn() or $user->isAnon()

Added, though it's a bit of a hack.

The method needs to be improved, for multilingual support.
