I just personally fell prey to the lack of info in the UI about the mini-profiler, what it is, what it is called, why it is shown to me, and how to hide it. I set up sites but am not a developer, so don’t ever need to see it but have just gotten used to it.
At a minimum, I suggest that we update the documentation to explain the current behavior:
- new topic devoted to it here on meta or update it if it exists unless it exists and I didn’t find it
, and include keywords people might use to look for it, and delete or update the topics about it and add a #miniprofiler (or is it #mini-profiler?) tag. - update discourse/docs/ADMIN-QUICK-START-GUIDE.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub to refer to miniprofiler and link to the meta topic
Beyond that, if possible I’d like to see help text for those who are confused about it and want to make it go away eg “Miniprofiler - press ALT+P to toggle display”.
The below seems to be a good step by step guide to adding it for a user on your site.
