Install this theme component

### This component will get no new updates and will soon be deprecated since it’s no longer necessary!!!

Optionally hide some staff from the `/about` page

Entering users like this:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/9/f/79ff05bf4716b7627a29f4f96227b473539e2c9a.png)

will make their links be hidden from the `/about` page.

One example of when this is useful is if someone is a technical administrator of the site, but is not a member of the community. [Discourse.org](http://Discourse.org) [uses a plugin for this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-hide-admins-from-about-page/43678/2); here is a theme component that does the same.

Though the url has “staff” in the URL, it hides the users from both the moderator and admin section of the /about page.

Caveat: If there is only one admin or moderator and that user is hidden, then there will be an “admin” or “moderator” heading with no users listed under it.
