Description[edit | edit source]

Authors extension displays all of the user who have contributed to the article. They are displayed at the bottom of the article, in the form of their user images/avatars.

Usage / Features[edit | edit source]

Every user can control what image will be displayed as his image in the list of authors, by changing his profile image. For more about user profile images read here

If user has not uploaded an image, its personalized avatar will be shown.

In case the user who has contributed to the page is not registered/logged in, it was deleted since it made the contribution, or is for any other reason non-existant, image with yellow question mark will be displayed.

By hovering over the image of an author, its username will be displayed and clicking the image will lead to that user's page.

Configuration[edit | edit source]

Number of authors displayed, and if authors will be displayed at all, can be configured on BlueSpice preferences page (Special:BlueSpicePreferences). In case there are more contributors to the page than the limit allows to be shown, icon representing "more" will be shown.

Displaying Authors can also be achieved for a single page by placing behaviour switch on the page.

Rights (permissions)[edit | edit source]

Demo BlueSpice

BlueSpiceAuthors displays the profile images of the users who have contributed to a wiki page.They are listed on the Page information, which can be accessed from the quality management tools.

  • Image selection: The image shows the profile image that a user is currently using.
  • Avatar: If a user has not uploaded a profile picture, a personalized avatar is shown.
  • Deleted users: If users are not registered or were deleted since they made the contribution, an image with a yellow question mark is displayed.
  • Interaction: Hovering over the profile picture shows the user name. The image links to the user's profile page.

Users with admin rights can set in the Config manager if and how many authors should be shown on the page information. If there are more authors than configured, a pagination is being generated.

The display of authors can be supressed with the behavior switch __NOAUTHORS__ on an individual wiki page. It can be placed anywhere in the source code.
