Hiding "Initial revision" on the Edits section of the Activity tab of the user profile

+2
−0

When viewing a user's Edits on the Activity tab of the user profile, it includes "Initial revision", which seems to me more like a posting than an edit:

Edits section showing most rows are "Initial revision"

In the edit history of an individual post it is useful to be able to see the initial version, but on the Edits section of the user profile I would expect to see only edits, not initial posts.

Is this expectation the same for you? Would you prefer to see "Initial revision" included, excluded, or perhaps with a checkbox that allows switching between including and excluding?

The Activity tab also includes a Posts section, along with "Show all events". Showing all events results in 2 rows for every new post (a row for the post, accompanied by an adjacent row for "Initial revision").

From a technical standpoint, this behavior occurs because we create a "post history" event for the "initial revision" of every post, and that table pulls post history events.

We could conceivably add an additional filter to the relevant queries, which would hide the initial revision altogether as an "edit".

I'll hold off on putting in a PR on this issue, at least until we have some meta-specific consensus to proceed.

We've since created GitHub issue #1115 to track this request (https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1115). A PR was also submitted to fix this issue.

As the PR has been merged, and the issue closed, we've updated the tag on this post to status-planned pending code deployment.

Thanks for reporting!
