Add "Last Updated" section to each page

If we add a "Last Updated" line with date and person to each page we can keep track of pages updates/accuracy going forward.

@tcdahlberg - Is there, by any chance, some kind of tool that can be installed into GitHub that would do this for us? (Based on the last commit for the page, add a block at the bottom listing when it was updated and by whom.)

[tcdahlberg]

@mkolodner, I did find a way to do this just now at your prompting. I have wanted this for the SEA site too, but you motivated me to figure it out. Here is what it looks like on my development version of SEA (near the bottom of the page)

It is a bit involved, but I would be willing to install the necessary scripts for DLRS

[mkolodner]

Yes, please, @tcdahlberg ! (Unless anyone else objects? @sharicarlson13 @coriobriensfdo ?)
Personally I would not include the comments tool, just the Last Modified info. But others might feel differently on that.

@mkolodner @tcdahlberg Yes, please!

I'm okay not including the comments tool. Though we may want to consider in the future as the feedback piece.

[coriobriensfdo]

WOW this is awesome!! Thank you Thad!

I guess my question is, what is the downside to collecting feedback on the page? I could see folks using that to ask questions when we'd want to point them to the TBC group instead I guess....

[mkolodner]

I just tend to think all "comments" sections are nothing but an invitation to spam and trolls. Plus unless one of us is going to be monitoring all those comments, I think it could just be a black hole. At least TBC is a place we're watching.

[coriobriensfdo]

Agree and makes sense! Let's leave off for now and strategize our feedback plan as you suggest.

I wasn't actually showing off the comments section, though I can add that if you want. Commenting requires a github account to comment which cuts down on trolling. Comments become issues in your repository where you can deal with them (delete, etc). The idea is that you aren't creating a third party database somewhere to deal with comments and just using standard GitHub tech. At any rate, the last updated is very separate code from commenting.

Hmmmmmmmmm it would be pretty fantastic to have that one day...
