I do not understand why you do not create a duplicate of your wiki site as a "private" one, only allowed for your mods.

I did that, because I really don't like the fact that our conversations are visible to the whole world, and tried to make my two members to use the forum of the private site, but it does not work. It is much easier to just click to the button "discuss" and to write. So, if I am unable to make maz TWO members to use private forum, I just can imagine that for others that have more members this would be simply mission impossible. :)

I just cannot understand what's the wishes feature for if the wishes that have one or two votes are fulfilled in a very short time, and the wishes that have much higher number of votes (like this one - 38 for now) and people are desparate to have it are simply ignored?

The difference to the first time is now: your are a registered member of Wikidot and need now only to make login to the wikidot com server (not register again).

In this case you will not leave the visited wiki-site.

@ wikidoters, The above is probably an example of how One-Step registration would help everyone, including new wiki members. He joined today, ended up on the main wiki site after joining, didn't realize he needed to hit back on his browser however many times, followed the community forum link thinking he was still on whatever game wiki he had found, and well, how he made in this particular thread is beyond my soothseeing ways, but nevertheless, here he made it. But he hasn't managed to actually join the wiki he apparently tried to join in the first place.

That's not even the worst case scenario. The worst case is people getting completely lost, never making it back to your wiki, and giving up to go someplace that isn't so complicated to navigate. Most the people here on the community forums didn't have trouble with it, but the average internet user does.

So if you haven't rated up the One-Step registration solution, please consider doing so now.

Looks like it's # 2 in the queue…

Thx.

The best solution is an administrator function to create user subgroups and an ability to apply subgroup-only view settings to certain topics…

This is what what many full-featured forum platforms do… Like Invision Power Board, for example…

I don't think wikidot forum needs a lot of the full features that these power forum platforms have…

…But it should have this one…

One application is for gaming clans, who typically have some subforms open to the public, and others hidden from view. Even registered members can't get in without permission of some sort. Even among the membership, not everyone would be allowed in every forum, so some members can only view the clan forum for one game that they've qualified to compete in, and others another forum. For a clan like that to use wikidot, they'd have to have several different private wikis spreading across several different games.

Obviously admin, mod collaboration has been mentioned, but even in those cases, you might want to bring a member into a particular collaborative effort without modding them.

Yes, I CAN create a separate private wiki. This would still be a nice feature.

Easiest way is to show two links in the side menu :

one for "forum-public" ( or only "forum" )
and
one for "forum-privat".

The members know very fast that there is a parallel forum for the mods and admns only… why you want to hide the link ?

It is not a real secret for most of our visitors, the admins of this community- site have their own little "hidden" forum on such a parallel wiki.

I agree. Currently this can be done my making another site for admin discussions.

There may be a way to make a truly hidden category in wikidot 2.0 because it will have (I heard it will have) extended permissions options.

I suggest posting the idea to the feature request area anyway though.

Still applies. No changes yet.

I dont see any changes to this as of yet. I think it's important to have a hidden place for Mods to discuss the goings on of a forum and having t switch pages to do it is a pain. If there is a way PLEASE TELL ME!

• Forum can be use in one page, like wikipedia.
• we can see [!--comment--] only in view sorce and edit button.
• we can give permission, who can edit or view source.
• Mix and Shake it, Good taste.

The forum should be hidden like the other pages of such site for all other not allowed ( and not signed in) users?

I have no experience in such issue…
