AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around adding notes to topics within specific categories or wiki topics in a Discourse instance. hawm is looking for a plugin to add warnings to categories like Marketplace, which deals with money, to alert users about potential scams. They also want to make it clear that wiki topics are editable by other users.

ondrej suggests adding a staff notice, but hawm finds this solution impractical for a large number of topics.

Heliosurge recommends using the Category Banners theme component, which uses part of the about Category post in a banner. hawm appreciates this suggestion but prefers adding notes below the first post.

tomtjes offers a CSS solution to add a custom edit button label for wiki posts, which hawm finds close to their desired outcome.

Hi

I am looking a plugin able to add note to all topic which in special category or for special using.

In a Discourse instance may have some category like Marketplace is about money，i want to warnning user beware of scams. For wiki topic i want to make user know its a wiki topic and editable for other users and more, i know that have a edit button now but not cleary enough.

Of cause user able to read the category description in everywhere like hover the category bullet or visit the description topic, but as what i said its not enough, user won’t do as what we expected. Maybe not a big deal to normal topic’s reply or post if user didn’t ever read the description but a problem for some topic about money or other important things.

Is this will be a paid job? No, i will try to make one when it doesn’t exist.

Thanks all

If Wikis and Marketplace are only in special categories. There is a theme component called Category Banners that uses part of the about Category post in banner.

I added this to my Desktop CSS:

.wiki button.edit::after { content: "  Edit me, I'm a wiki post!"; color:darkgreen; }

Result:
