AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around improving the user interface for marking posts as wikis. meglio proposes adding a “Mark as Wiki” option in the editor’s Settings menu, illustrated with a screenshot. awesomerobot suggests placing it in the “Reply As” menu instead, since a wiki is a post type, and includes a supporting image. meglio counters that users often want to mark second or later replies as wikis, which wouldn’t fit naturally in the “Reply As” menu — and argues it’s more logically a “post setting.” They emphasize the need for seamless, immediate access to the wiki toggle during editing, to avoid forgetting to set it after submitting — a common issue when focus shifts from post type to content quality. The goal is to reduce friction and clicks, enabling users to create wiki topics and replies on the fly without post-submission steps.

I thought so at first, but then I remember that I often want to mark 2nd and the following posts as wikis, for which I’m not sure if it makes sense to put it in the Reply As menu:
… seems more like a “post setting” tbf, but it’s up to you; as soon as it’s available and eases creation of both wiki topics and wiki replies on the fly without any additional clicks after submitting the post (which is easy to forget, and it happens to me all the time - I forget I need to make it a wiki by the time I finish editing because it shifts my focus from the wanted post type to the wanted quality content).
