Mention related people in the documentation

• May 8, 2025 - 08:23

Your idea

Enable "@mention" when someone is editing the documentation to remind related people.

Problem to solve

Someone needs to ask related people about something when editing the documentation.

Prior art

Many email services, for instance Outlook, allow using @mentions to get someone's attention.

Additional context

I have tried to remind the developer to sync to the linked chapter the version of MuseScore 4 in which the related feature will come back by mentioning @Jojo Schmitz, the creator of the latest revision, published on 2025-04-30 16:54 giving the version, in a revision of the home page of the Handbook of MuseScore 3 and attached note, but the syntax has not taken effect.

Please don't spent too much time on the handbook for an outdated version (3.x), esp. don't do fundamental changes to it, like removing all the links from the main page to the page of the handbook, the IMHO greatest benefit of the Mu3 (and Mu2 and Mu1) handbook over the Mu4 one: Everything at your fingertips without the need to drill down several levels of chapters and sub-chapters to reventually find the relevant page.
So please revert those changes and restrict to just fixing blatant mistakes (bad grammar, typos, plain wrong information).
I'd revert it, but that'd loose all the other changes you did...

By the way, how may the maintainers get the node ID of a Handbook page, especially when translating that for versions 4.x of the software?
As is seen, the universal resource location in the address bar of the browser provides the title or its transcription instead of the node ID, which troubles the maintainers, especially those unfamiliar with the Hypertext Markup Language, thus unable to read the source code directly, to get the node ID.
