[users] Making it user-friendly to edit pages with macros for new users (was Re: Need some Help & Explanations) http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/rnhe6tl3x7snquz7

Issues

  • the include macro rendering is confusing because the user might think he can in-line edit the content
  • trying to delete some words in the welcome message results in deleting the macro
  • we need to make clear that the home page content is just using an include macro to display the content located in another place

Solution

  • first have all macros collapsed by default

Current

Default: Macro Expanded
