25 - Site Branding
This is the Redirect module that redirects the browser directly to the "http://projects.wikidot.com/thread:132" page.
This is a design sketch for "Site Branding", which lets you distance your wiki from the Wikidot community and branding. This is a feature for paying users: free sites take part in the community.
Design
Site Branding will be a new panel in the Site Manager that allows the administrator to localize various aspects of the site:
- Local karma, whereby members' karma is calculated for that site only.
- Local profiles, in some category, whereby members' profile pages are stored on that site and not on http://profiles.wikidot.com/profile:
- Branded notifications: customizing the header and footer of emails sent to watchers.
- Branded sign on screen: customizing the text and CSS of the sign in popup.
- Branded signatures, so users can create per-site signatures.
- The ability to disable custom signatures on users' comments.
- The ability to disable avatars and karma bars on the site.
Some questions to think about:
Local profiles — Will this page appear in the popup, or will clicking on the user's name simply redirect to the page?
Localized notifications — I wouldn't mind being able to change the subject either ;)
A page was %m at your favourite website by %u! It's called %t!
becomes A page was created at your favourite website by leiger! It's called My page!
The ability to disable custom signatures on users' comments — This can already be done with CSS, but I suppose it'd be good thing to add it to the Site Manager.
How about per-site signatures? Perhaps a [[module ModifySignature]] that can go on the user pages?

I first thought you were introducing something about translation of the wikidot software…
Yes, I know. Would you prefer "decommunitization"? :-)
I'll see if a better term pops up.

Why not customization? Because this is what you are talking about. A possibility to customize your own site according to your personal preferences, removing all the indications that it belongs to Wikidot…

OK, seriously, "Site branding" is probably the right idea.
