The wiki should show a link to let you create your OpenFoodFacts account

[teolemon]

What

We would be able to convert people landing on the wiki by chance into contributors

Part of

• 🐣 Road to contribution / First time experience #5708

[CharlesNepote]

Where would you like it to be?

1. On the upper part, nex to "Log in"? (seems difficult)
   

2. On the side menu?
   

[CharlesNepote]

Ideally:

1. the user land on Open Food Facts wiki
2. he has to see clear links to Open Food Facts website
3. he has to be able to find a simple way to create an account: to modify the wiki or to contribute to Open Food Facts

User has to see clear links to Open Food Facts database
[x] Added a "Open Food Facts galaxy" section in the left-bar menu

Remove Log in link or convert it to Login Information
It seems to be possible with PersonnalUrls hook:

• see this thread https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:T5m96asperb7d8vt
• and this documentation: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/PersonalUrls

[x] Finally, I've done it using the CSS, adding #pt-login { display: none; }.

Add link to login
[x] I have coded a little hook for logged out users, that show a link to login, see top of the left menu bar (you musn't be logged in to see it): https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Main_Page

@teolemon can we close the bug?

As a reminder, code to add login link in the left menu bar (to be added to LocalSettings.php)

<?php
// code adding a 'navigation' sidebar block with a login link for logged out users.
// see:  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Change_sidebar_content_when_logged_in_(PHP)
$wgHooks['SkinBuildSidebar'][] = 'lfHideSidebar';
function lfHideSidebar( $skin, &$bar ) {
        global $wgUser;
        // Add login link for anonymous users
        if ( !$wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) {
                $bar['navigation'][] = [
                                        'text'   => wfMessage( 'login' ) -> text(),
                                        'href'   => "https://world.openfoodfacts.org/",
                                        'id'     => 'n-login',
                                        'active' => '',
                                ];
        }
        return true;
}
?>

I think we can close the issue, I just tested it and it seems good maybe a bit small but okay

There's no way to logout from the wiki though. It's also very unclear that "Connection" means that you need to create and use the OFF account. Can we add a message like "Create an user and login to Open Food Facts to be identified on the wiki" when not logged in? And a button to logout? (if I'm logged out of OFF, I'm still logged on the wiki it seems).
