In most popular blogging platforms, comments made by the author of the page are often distinguished from the rest of the comments. I would like to see this feature in wikidot, and in my very limited knowledge of programmining (i.e. none) I don't think it would be too difficult.
Comments made by the creator of the page would carry an extra class, which could be styled with CSS:
#post-012345.post.author
or
#post-012345.post.creator
…or any other name you see fit.
Thanks,

Nice idea.

I think the actual author name would be best (for every post). That way you can highlight a certain user's posts across the site regardless of whether they created that page, or you should be able to highlight just the author's posts using a CSS module and %%created_by%%? (I can't remember whether or not ListPages variables work within the CSS module).

I had thought of this, but's it's not very friendly when deploying themes to users - you would have to manually edit the CSS to include the name of every author of your site/blog etc. (that is if you can't use variables in the CSS module). Even with variables in the module, that is another thing that needs to be added to the page template, which could easily be managed by the CSS alone.
Is adding the user's name and a 'page-creator' class getting too complicated?

Highlighting page author is much more useful than individual user names in my opinion.

I think individual user names would not be much use without a lot of hand-written CSS.
Another possibility would be to add a class for the current user, so people could see their own comments easily.
Obviously, it isn't something that you would put into a theme on http://themes.wikidot.com — it's more for highlighting the posts of admins/mods, even if they were not the ones that created the page.
I agree!
