Bug#731694: wiki.debian.org: friendlier reminder text for login



Package: wiki.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

I have seen people telling me wiki page is immutable.

I am not talking about real immutable pages but pages marked "Immutable Page"
just for people not loged-in.

If such "Immutable Page" text has embedded link to a page explaining "they need
to login", I think people understand better.

See mail exchange as below:

| Could this be fixed? Most wikis say "log in to edit this page", and make
| the first two words a link.
