Display "last checked by" and "last edited by" on Community guides?

Discourse allows to set up an automatic “last checked by” and “last edited by” field at the end of the documentation topic.

I’m not really convinced, but it could be a way to remove the High quality guides category? (See High quality guides - #34 by parulin). There are still a lot of questions:

  • How is one supposed to perform a check of a guide?
  • Who can do that? Feedback from new users would be great but are they really competent to perform a “check”?
  • Is there any kind of proof?

The “last edited by” field is not really useful alone but providing it along with “last checked by” can help a user determine the current status of a guide.

So you suggest that people should estimate quality of the guide by the reviewer?

I don’t get it right now, and I bet you I wouldn’t be able to as a new user
