Right now when someone comments on a page or uses the "discuss" button a hidden page discussion thread is created with a description that reads:
"This is the discussion related to the wiki page Page Title.
Since I do not use my site as a wiki the word "wiki" in the description may confuse members or guests and in general other people who don't use their wikidot site as a true wiki may not wish to use this exact description. It would be great if we could have a custom description that we choose but I know that is probably asking too much. What I am wishing for is for the word "wiki" to simply be removed so that it reads:
"This is the discussion related to the page Whatever The Page Title Is"
This would be more generic but should work fine whether a site is a wiki or not. After all a page is a page.
Alternatively, maybe wikidot could fix it so the name of the site is inserted into the description. So that a discussion on my site would have the description like this:
"This is the discussion related to the Ground Up Strength page Overuse Injuries in Female Athletes."
Page title just an example of course!
As a workaround until this wish is/isnot implemented, you can hide the complete block containing this text by putting this into your css:
If, however, you want to lose the text but retain the statistics on the right, the rss link etc then use:
Rob Elliott - Strathpeffer, Scotland - Wikidot first line support & community admin team.
That's a good idea, Rob. Thanks for the suggestion. I remember I had considered hiding it a while back but I do like the description so that people will know they have come upon a page description rather than an independent thread (in those cases where they see the thread first). However, I might still consider hiding it for a while..I'm just not sure the word wiki is worth losing the explanation for.
Edit* Of course the big problem with hiding it is that I lose the description box completely throughout the forum and I do not wish to take away my users ability to put in a description. I just want the hidden page description to be changed to reflect the reality of my site..the the reality of how wikidot advertises its service.
Thanks!
