I do not understand why someone withdrew %%user_edited%% from this template.
I thought it was useful to see directly who made the last blog post edit.

> why someone withdrew %%user_edited%%

Gerdami, I did that. I had two reasons:

  1. So that on the front page the text “By user on date, edited date, time” would be a single line and not flow to the next line (because of the limited column width there). You might see different results depending on your screen resolution

  2. I didn't imagine (at all) that someone else than the author would edit a post. I wouldn't think it appropriate (personal opinion)

I now see that in one of your updates you had explicitly added %%user_edited%% just short ago — my change was in no way meant to embarrass you.

If you agree, I'll add it back in.

I agree with gerdami - this is a public wiki where everyone ( only members) can edit a blog entry.

1. So that on the front page the text "By user on date, edited date, time" …

I think that for the homepage it is different, because space is counted.

2. I didn't imagine (at all) that someone else than the author would edit a post. I wouldn't think it appropriate (personal opinion)

I do not mind that someone edit my blog:posts or my forum posts provided that the meaning stay the same.
I personally do post editing, e.g. I correct typos in forum posts or elsewhere; I add missing forum titles
But sometimes, I only suggest inserting ==== :-)

I once thought that the user: category should be restricted to the user that created a page in that category - a feature available within wikidot ! - , but again, I would be happy that an English native speaker corrected my userpage.


Please feel free to correct this post as well.
