Title:
Option to show "originally posted as" on imported entries and comments
Area:
entries, comments, importing
Summary:
Expose "originally posted as" on imported entries and comments, as an option that can be added to styles if desired.
Description:
Some users would like to be able to see where a comment or entry has been imported from, if they are importing from several locations or different names, or wish to display the history in full on Dreamwidth. Other users would prefer to keep the current display. I propose that the importer is updated to preserve the username and site/OpenID name at the time of import, so that this information is available to style designers, who can then create styles with it displayed, or add it to their styles as an option for those who want to show it on their journals. For previously imported entries where the original import site has not been saved, this would display something like "Originally posted as: information not available".
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
