In a Support topic titled “Documentation for all features of current Discourse?”, erotus asks whether there’s a comprehensive, up-to-date documentation page listing all Discourse features and settings — specifically seeking to understand when users can delete their own posts. They note that while the meta.discourse.org documentation category is helpful, it’s difficult to find exhaustive, current info without manually searching across many topics. NateDhaliwal acknowledges the challenge, explaining that with hundreds — even thousands — of settings, it’s impractical to view everything at once. They recommend starting with the Using Discourse category and suggest checking the Discourse GitHub config settings file for a full, though technical, list of settings. While no single document covers every feature exhaustively, these resources offer the most complete starting points for users seeking detailed configuration and feature information.
Hi, I was wondering if there is a up-to-date documentation page somewhere, which would include descriptions of all current Discourse features and settings?
This time I am trying to find an answer to this question: “In which cases user can delete their own post?” and I usually end up to this page: Documentation - Discourse Meta
It seems to have conversations about different topics but not a complete manual, which I would like to have.
It’s difficult maintaining a Discourse forum without exactly knowing which features it has at the moment. I would like to also inform the users how the system works. Everything changes with time and up-to-date information seems to be impossible to find.
It’s hard to see all 100% features and settings at once, considering there are so many. See:
as a good starting place.
For settings, there’s virtually hundreds thousands of them, but you can see the full list here:
But that won’t help much. You best bet is to try features at try.discourse.org, and look at settings in the Admin panel, where there’s descriptions for settings.
