I don’t understand this sentence. MailConfig is not an UI and it doesn’t contain configuration for UI. It contains config for the mail server, mail properties, etc. It contains mail configuration data. Not related to UI. > which happen to also contains configuration data > (would have been much cleaner to store the data in a generated > document…) Same, could you explain this more? > so I think the best for now is to keep the default type. > Since you are not supposed to go trough edit more to modify those > configuration data, the edit protection should not really affect users > in practice (no warning when using admin UI). We happen to have some Admin UI that changes the MailConfig page so I’m fine to use ‘default’ (i.e. to warn the users when they try to edit it). The important aspect is that we don’t try to merge it when the admin upgrades the wiki and there’s been changes brought to it (through the Admin UI), and I believe “default” will achieve this. Now we might have other *Config pages for which we’re currently lacking an Admin UI till we provide such a UI, we’ll need to mark those as “demo” for now. So ok for me for MailConfig (if I understood correctly). Thanks -Vincent > > WDYT ? > > -- > Thomas Mortagne
