Would something like an `{{plugin-outlet "about-stats-bottom"}}` \*Note - I’m unclear about naming conventions work for you? AFAIK @sam is willing to add these ---

Hi Sam, is it possible to include this outlet? I couldn’t find it there. Thanks! ---

Could anyone help me to sneak in additional text / html on the [about-page](https://meta.discourse.org/about)? As mentioned above the current page is not compliant with German law and there are currently a lot of rogue lawyers who make loads money with cease-and-desist warnings. Any hack welcome! Thanks so much. ---

I would like to find that so I can add it. Is it set via a link? Which then refers to a wp, for example. Or how and where do I find that. Very great interior. There will be quite a few more questions. Since I need them. Maybe you can exchange ideas with me about it. ---

Hey @carrabelloy, I’m not really sure what you are asking about, and old topics may contain outdated information. If the purpose is to add a disclaimer page directly available from the home page of your forum, there are several ways to do that. - Using a custom sidebar section [Custom sidebar sections being tested on meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-sidebar-sections-being-tested-on-meta/255303) - Adding a link to the navigation menu: [Custom Top Navigation Links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-top-navigation-links/87225) - Adding a link in the header: [Custom Header Links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-header-links/90588) or [Custom Header Links (icons)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-header-links-icons/86307) - Customize your theme or create a component to which you can add text and/or links in the Head section If you want to edit the pages FAQ, Terms of Service and Privacy, their associated topic is located in the #staff category. If it doesn’t answer your questions, can you be more specific on what you are trying to achieve? 🙂 ---

her @Canapin Yes, I need that, because I touch a hot iron and that must be legally compliant. Also that with the logging that it is users from 18, is quite important to me. Now I was wondering if I can use this from my Mastodon as a link. I thank you or you for all the information. May I contact you or you more often? My English is really brittle. Please excuse that. But maybe we can still exchange information. I would be glad. ---

No, I don’t know if I’ll get a German version of it the same way. They should hang up a donation clock, but I’ll get back to that later, I like open-source. And I also thank you for the feedback on it @gerhard ---

German versions of the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and FAQ are available. However, these are only direct translations from English and have not been legally reviewed. If you started with a forum in English, these documents were also created in English. However, you can overwrite them in the Admin Panel under Customize → Text with the German translations by clicking on “Replace Text…”. ---

They appear as topics in the staff (Team) category, when you add the `company name` in the site settings. ---

You can always create a topic in a public category and link to that from various places like the first sidebar section. But then it would look like a topic in the forum and not a standalone page. That might be acceptable to you. There is currently no way to create such a topic and add it to the navigation menu so it appears as a page alongside the about page, terms of service and privacy notice. I think this would be an interesting feature request. Then you could have this: ![Screenshot 2024-09-20 at 7.31.00 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/2/6/b26c8c9c129c484033dc213c87ccb385310e0c7e.png) One solution that comes to mind is to [switch to the experimental about page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-and-improved-about-page-is-live/324212), which soon will become the only about page, and then to edit site texts to edit the “Contact us” section on the right side so it includes full impressum details. To do that, look for “site texts” on the sidebar, switch to your site’s language, then search for “if you come across”. You can also rename the “Contact us” header to “Impressum” by searching for that. ![Screenshot 2024-09-20 at 7.34.00 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/6/2/2627d9469a59d7f55a6c19d795c51f8d59a68e95.png) If you need more space, you could also add impressum details to the site description, which appears directly on the login page on private sites and on the about page.
