I’m going to try and explain this the best possible way, I might not get it correct the first time around. I’m trying to build out a massive Wiki using Discourse Docs plugin, the Discourse instance isn’t dedicated to being a Wiki. It has a number of categories for topic creation and discussion as a normal Discourse instance. The problem I’m having is that I need to create a category for discussion only topics and a category for docs topics. I don’t want to mix the content of a discussion topic with a docs topic. I had someone recently tell me that it’s makes no sense to have duplicate categories, and that I should be merging them and have them all in one category. But then how do you separate the two and display it in an organized fashion? I don’t see an option to hid docs categories or to create docs only categories, which would make this a moot point. So I’m interested to understand how other folks are doing this? Thanks for any replies in advance!
