I never saw all of this in one place, so here’s my partial checklist to personalize a new Discourse install
Menu / About
- edit the tabs: About, FAQ, Terms of Service, and Privacy
Menu / Admin / Customize / Text
- Edit the recommended texts
- Then search for
blog.discourseYou’ll see a lot of links you might want to change
Most of those links point to the following guides that you might want to copy over onto your site:
- New User Guide Discourse New User Guide
- Moderation Guide Discourse Moderation Guide
- Nomenclature Guide Interface Nomenclature Guide
- Badges Understanding Discourse Trust Levels | Blog
- Building Building a Discourse Community | Blog
- Tips Discourse New User Tips and Tricks | Blog
You can also search for meta.discourse but most of those references are not visible to most users
Menu / Admin / Customize / Email /
- Welcome Staff also points to the Moderation Guide
