[documentation] New Handbook Page for Review... And a More General Question

[Joshua Brauer]

Any user with the permissions to post PHP code to your site has permissions much greater than 'administer content types'. In fact they can give themselves 'administer content types' permissions should they choose to.

I thought we had a policy against the credit links but maybe it's just been a discussion. In short, in my opinion, the credit links discourage others from editing pages as appropriate, clutter the page, and become a problem as to "at what point when I've edited the page should I remove those credit links from two years ago".

Thanks,
Josh

I'm wondering if that is a part of d.o. culture that might be worth changing. I understand that handbook pages evolve with their wiki style. But the revisions list preserves that. And module pages often have "originally written by" lines in them even as the new maintainer identifies him/herself. What do you think.
