In a support thread titled “Wiki is not available,” Rainshine reports that clicking the Wiki/FAQ link leads to an error page indicating the site doesn’t exist or is private. They ask if a plugin is needed or how to configure the link to point to an internal FAQ/Wiki area. NateDhaliwal asks if company info was filled during setup, hinting at the /faq page’s dependency on that. Moin clarifies that the FAQ link likely refers to the auto-generated /faq page (which requires company info) and explains that Discourse doesn’t have a built-in “Wiki area” — instead, any post can be made a wiki, and categories can be configured to auto-wiki first posts as detailed here. Rainshine confirms no custom setup was done and hoped to use an integrated FAQ/Wiki feature rather than creating a category. Moin guides them to customize sidebar links via “More > Customize this section” and clarifies the /faq page is company-dependent. Later, Rainshine asks how to achieve a “square” category layout and whether it applies to subcategories. Moin directs them to customize the “desktop category page style” and links to a guide on displaying subcategory boxes here. The thread ends with Rainshine thanking Moin warmly.
I am not sure I understand what you intent to do. I see you have added a link to the sidebar and you say it doesn’t work. Could you share the configuration of that link?
Is your FAQ/Wiki area a category?
Hello Moin,
I did not set up anything. This was given after starting Discourse.
Where can I configure that link so I can show it to you?
Because we don’t have a Wiki yet we also don’t have a category.
But we thought about creating a category and naming it Wiki. But I don’t know how to link it to the FAQ / Wiki button.
Apart from that we thought using the integrated FAQ / Wiki area from Discourse would be a better fit than creating a category.
I still do not understand which integrated wiki area you are referring to. Every post can be a wiki, and I don’t think there is any default area for them. There is a category setting to make the first posts of a topic a wiki automatically when they are created. Configuring wiki settings
@NateDhaliwal’s question was related to /faq (Guidelines - Discourse Meta), which is only created after entering a company name. Is that what you mean by FAQ area?
