That seemed to work, thanks! Are the same limitations still in place via the min trust to edit wiki post & min trust to allow self wiki site settings?

Yup, only the location of the button changed.

How would you like it changed? I also kind of feel it belongs in the wrench and that we should expose the wrench to normal users if its an option. The button there does not convey enough context and its a bit confusing.

Yeah we should expose wrench menu in some cases to users. It gets way too cluttered with Yet Another Button.

I personally question the need to hide buttons in the wrench when they are already hidden in the overflow menu. Right now, as a non-staff user on Meta, I see 3 buttons on my own post: link, flag, and edit, plus the overflow button. Once I click the overflow button, I get 3 more buttons, bookmark, make_wiki, and delete. All of these buttons have tooltips that explain what they are. If you take the “Make Wiki” button and put it in the wrench menu, you go from 6 buttons to…6 buttons, and make wiki takes an additional click to use. The only benefit I see is that the text displays next to the button as opposed to being a tooltip. Considering that non-staff users being able to wikify their own posts is a fairly new feature, and (to the best of my knowledge) wikifying posts is not done with any regularity by a “typical” user, I don’t see the need to move this button another click away from a user.

Much better thanks! That extra button was annoying to me…
