Contradiction in user interface on whether or not IP editing is allowed #71

Open AttemptToCallNil opened 3 years ago

AttemptToCallNil commented 3 years ago

While writing my help pages for the new login screen, I didn't realize that the main screen configuration form suggests that it's possible to have MAGE edit wikis without logging in (using one's IP address). I'm not sure how to handle this.

I think the more sensible option is to require logging in and force assert=user. If so, the main screen form needs to have its text changed. (I'll probably get to reworking it when implementing actual request handling.) Does anyone think IP editing should be kept as an option?

I think in an ideal world this would be a MAGE preference - allow IP editing or not, with default to false. But I'd be fine with releasing without this and waiting for someone to request it / for there to not be anything more important to code before implementing.

OK, so no IP editing in MVP / early development stages, and later, if requested, implement IP editing as a non-default option?

yep sounds good 👍
