Is it possible to disable Area Article?

[Alfa1]

My area pages are similar to Forum nodes: their only purpose is to display the content therein.
I dont need the Area article, comments on the area article, ratings, categories, tags.
Is there a way to disable this for the Area page, while keeping those functions active for the pages in the area?

AdminCP > Setup > Options > VaultWiki: Aesthetics > Show placeholder text on wiki containers.

As for hiding those functions on the area, you should use permissions for that. Under the permissions heading "Area permissions". Basically, if the user has permission to do it, it will show the option to do it. So if you don't want the option, you should revoke the permission. Unless stated otherwise, the permissions in this heading only apply to the area's main landing page. Child pages are handled in other headings, like "Page permissions".

Thanks!

I have set the following permissions to Never, but it still displays.

Can see edit history for area main pages?
Can protect/unprotect area main pages?
This seems a bug.

Is it possible to hide for Area page:
* contributors
* edit
* synonyms
* watch
* report
* tags

Translate has been turned off, but the flag still displays. Can we hide it?
