3.4.0.x: Wiki text functionality disappeared

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

A user reports that the wiki text functionality has disappeared in the latest build of 3.4.0.beta3-dev, with the option to reconfigure new posts as wiki posts no longer available on their instance, despite correct settings. While the feature works on Meta, it is missing on their own instance (forum.netzwissen.de), where the ‘Wiki Text’ button is absent. The user confirms the issue is not related to post-level menu access and notes the ability to edit posts remains. Another user suggests checking safe mode and verifying if ‘admin’ is removed from the post menu site setting, indicating a possible configuration issue.

With the latest build of 3.4.0.beta3-dev [d3f09f8f61] (maybe even a bit earlier) the wiki functionality disappeared on my instance:

New posts can not be re-configured as wiki posts. Although all user groups in settings are allowed to do so.

Shure, it works here on Meta. But not on my own instance (forum.netzwissen.de): The button for “Wiki Text” is just not available any more:

Some ideas how to debug this would be nice …

On your screenshot, I see the topic wrench menu, not the one of a specific post.

OK, my fault. But wasnt there a second wrench for the post level too? I can still edit my own post, but I can not change it to a “wiki post” which is available for others. Strange…

Indeed strange. Have you tried safe mode?

Did you remove “admin” from the post menu site setting?
