Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
It would be nice to feed the author information into the tagged pages feature. I.e. make authors and their articles discoverable via the https://fsfe.org/tags/ page.
To avoid a name-clash with two-letter tags, we could use the person's ID in people.en.xml, which usually is the person's surname. But here, we would have a problem with Gabriel, whose surname is "Ku"...
A simple and robust (but not very elegant) workaround would be to make structured tags. I.e. 'author:mk' or something like that.
Oh, that's an interesting option.
On the other hand, I think the original idea was that the tags would not have to be created manually (
<tag key="author:ku">Gabriel Ku</tag>), but from the<author>element. Or do I confuse things here?You are not confused. I forgot that tidbit.
I don't think it really matters how the tags are created, though. Come to think of it, having author tags auto-created from the author element will certainly make it easier to stay consistent if the structured tag idea is used.
