Intentional that everyone gets to see page revisions on clojure.org?

I had not noticed before the "Edit", discussion posts, revisions, and more options buttons near the top right of pages on clojure.org before.  It tells me I am not allowed to edit, which is perfectly good since I wasn't logged in with any account at the time.

It does seem to allow anyone in the world with a web browser to see revisions and diffs between revisions.

I'm not complaining, just pointing it out in case it was an unintentional change.

I want to say that's always been there, but perhaps I'm wrong. I know we removed the TOC box recently on some of those pages - maybe those covered it up before?

Hi Andy,

Previously, that did not display to users that weren't logged in. Wikispaces must have made some change to the html structure or css classes that circumvents our inelegant hack to hide it. I'll take a look when I have some cycles.

Thanks,
Tom

The previous behavior has been restored – you should only see the edit and history links when logged in. You may have to clear your cache to see the change.

Cheers,
Tom
