I gave an article a secret. When I open that article as the owner and scroll down, I can click the "Secrets" tab in the metadata section and it shows the secret I gave the article. (This is on Chrome browser) When I open a different web browser (Firefox) which is NOT logged in to my World Anvil account, the "Secrets" tab is visible. But when I click on it, nothing appears (which is of course correct. It shouldn't show the secrets to a visitor). However, I note that other articles that do not have any included secrets do NOT show the "Secrets" tab. The (minor) problem: showing the existence of the "Secrets" tab (even though it will be empty to visitors) reveals there are secrets to be found. In the case of running an RPG, this (can) create an unwanted bias in player behavior. Or perhaps (in the case of a novel) clue the audience in that there is something to be found. The expected behavior is that the secrets tab next to the meta data would not be visible if there are no secrets to be visible underneath it.
Create 2 public articles. Give 1 article a secret. Then view each article WITHOUT being logged in as the respective author (a visitor to the article). Scroll down to the end of each article. Notice that the secret tab is visible on the article with the secret, even though the secret itself is not visible. Notice that that would clue you in on information you are not meant to know.
Hello there Silenc3e3e :) This is actually not a bug - it was put there on purpose afer a long discussion with the community. The idea was to intrigue people reading the article (namely players or novel readers) If you wish for this to change of course, you can put a feature suggestion for it - Do you know how?
Ahh. Interesting. Then a feature would be good. I think the most helpful for the community would be the following. Each article has a setting for secrets. Hidden, Visible (as in, the tab at the end shows the "secrets" as a tab, but won't show secrets without the needed permission), and default. Hidden being "don't show the tab if you can't see any secrets part of the article. Visible being "even if you can't see the secrets, show the tab" And default being "world/global settings" Then somewhere in the world settings/under the secrets tab, have a default setting which the user can change.
That is a great idea - why don't you put a suggestion to the board? https://www.worldanvil.com/community/voting/
