Hi Shane,

Ah, I think you've hit the nail on the head! Blind evaluation is indeed
quite a compelling reason to allow pages without an author line.

Now we could work this in as a setting into the Mahara assessment system
and extend it to be supported by the Moodle plugin as well. But there
would still be value in just making it a setting on arbitrary pages, for
if you were doing ad-hoc page evaluation outside of these systems. Like,
having the students print out their pages and shuffling them up and
handing them back out to each other.

Hm, okay, I think the blind evaluation use-case indeed justifies having
this functionality. So we should keep it, but make the following
changes:

1. Add a config option to disable anonymous pages, and have the feature
turned off by default.

2. When the author line is hidden, put a notice in its place that says
"(Author's name hidden)" with another copy of the "Flag objectionable
content" button next to it. This would prevent the phishing problem by
making it obvious it's not just a system page.

3. And admins & staff should be able to see the page author's name. I
think for an admin/staff, it should show "(Author's name hidden)", and
have a button next to it that says "Show", which then displays the
author's name. That way if a teacher wants to do blind evaluations
themselves, they'd be able to. (And perhaps an option to send a
notification to the user if a staff/admin clicks that button, like we do
for when a staff/admin masquerades as a user.)

Title:
  Option to not have a display name on Views

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Currently all views show a display name. It would be good to have an
  option to just have a view title without 'by display name'.
