At the moment wikipages at groups.drupal.org show the name and picture of the author, as well as the date of creation of the wikipage.
For wikipages this is maybe a bit confusing and static. Usually a wikipage is edited by multiple authors, it would make more sense to show no author at all (in the version list you an see a list of all contributed authors). Also, the date of creation doesn't reflect the date of last update what would make much more sense for a wikipage that is (hopefully) continu in progress.
I would suggest to:
- disable the date of creation for a wikipage and instead show the date the wikipage is last updated
- disable the author picture and user name (or 'last updated by ...')

yoroy commentedIt *is* confusing, as there's no obvious way to discern posts from wiki pages right now.
And having the author pic in there communicates an 'ownership' of the page that is precisely *not* wanted for wiki pages.
I support the above suggestions to hide creation date and author picture and instead show:
"Last updated by on "
I checked out the groupsorg module but couldn't find where to change/add this. Wouldn't this go into template.php for the running theme? I would probably hack it into a node-wikipage.tpl.php…
Comment #2
gregglesThey do have that giant blob of text saying they are wikipages and that you should be bold ;)
Probably a preprocess function that checks for a node->type of wikipage or a node-wikipage.tpl.php would work.
I think the date should stay but be changed to the most recent edit.
Comment #3
yoroy commentedTrue, but not in teaser listings as you see on many a groups home page, which I should have added because that's what I meant :) It's especially there this change would help most.
Comment #4
marvil07 commentedThis should help :-)
PD: I really wanted this for a long time but I failed completely to add an issue, shame on me :-p
Comment #5
hanno commentedThanks, looking forward to this patch.
Comment #6
lisarex commentedIt would be useful to be able to identify who has contributed to the wiki (creator and editors). What about displaying the avatars of anyone who contributed, and labeling this "Contributors?" It can sit where the author information usually sits. We'd want to retain the 'submitted date' as well, but I didn't put it in my mockup.
Comment #7
lisarex commentedOr retain the 'last updated date', either way.
Comment #8
hanno commentedThat will give a more community feeling. What do you propose as the list of contributors grows like in Wikipedia. Do you propose to limit the list of contributors to the last ... users or make the list unlimited?
Comment #9
gregglesThanks for the code, Marvil07 - now committed http://drupalcode.org/project/groupsdrupalorg.git/commit/65fc302 and live on g.d.o
I think the idea of showing recent editor avatars (or usernames) is decent but that's already available on the revisions tab which is public. I'd also want those to be relatively small which might mean imagecache which feels too complex for today.
