"Simple mode" for doc categories in wiki category

Is this just a temporary test, or is the plan to use simple mode here on Meta permanently?

While I can understand why it doesn’t matter at all who the author is in the official documentation - which is why the author of all topics was changed to Discourse almost two years ago - I think this information is quite relevant in the Wiki.

The wiki is already at a disadvantage compared to the documentation category. It doesn’t have higher priority in search results, there is still no easy way to search within 2 categories and the idea of incorporating topics from there into the official documentation does not seem to have led to much follow-up, even for the topics that were identified as missing areas back then.

Precisely because the wiki already receives less visibility and attention, visible authorship and contributor recognition feel more important there, not less.

can we please disable simple mode (or get the contributors back) in the Wiki category?

while i don’t think it was done to intentionally erase the excellent contributors who have authored the topics there, that is exactly the effect this has. i feel like attribution is especially important in open-source projects when the contributors are not staff.

for everybody else who is mildly annoyed by this, i’ve written a small userstyle to revert it on desktop so long as you have stylus installed. the whole “show x replies” thing is also bugging me for docs (not just the wiki) but for now you can get the author back like this

/* ==UserStyle==

@-moz-document domain("meta.discourse.org") {
    .post__topic-map.topic-map.--op {
        display: flex !important
    }

    .topic-post[data-post-number="1"] {
        .topic-avatar {
            display: block !important;
        }

        .topic-meta-data {
            .names {
                display: block !important
            }

            .like,
            .reply {
                display: block !important
            }
        }
    }

    .topic-list.doc-simple-mode .link-bottom-line .badge-category__wrapper,
    .topic-list.doc-simple-mode .topic-excerpt {
        display: inline-flex !important
    }
}

sorry for the sloppy code, usercss is really limited and does not have nesting to my knowledge :smiling_face_with_tear: yes it does
