Edit buttons when students can't edit

Edit buttons when students can't edit

Hello.

I am a big fan of using wikis as sources of information for students. I create a collaborative wiki and in permissions, deny the students the right to edit and make new pages. They can still comment on pages etc.

But when logged into my student account, the wiki show [edit] buttons with each section of the page, as determined by heading styles. When the student clicks on these [edit] buttons, they get an error message. 

These buttons also appear in the pages' TOCs.

But wouldn't it be better not to have these [edit] buttons in the first place, in this context?

Thanks, 

James

Hi James,

I also found that students had edit links when they didn't have permission to edit pages, so I reported the problem as MDL-71282. Please vote for it and watch it if you'd like to be notified of updates.
