Features

Moderators (including TL4) can toggle shared edits on a topic (red) via the gear icon on the composer bar. Note that the plugin does not enable edit access per se. This means that if you want non-moderators to be able to collaboratively edit the post you must also make the post a Wiki (green, optional):

Once toggled edits are collaborative. You’ll notice the button in the bottom left is now marked ‘Done’ is it is continuously saved in real time.

Configuration

  • shared edits enabled : to enable or disable the feature
  • shared edits editor mode : markdown or rich editing (mixed is not supported)
  • shared edits commit delay seconds : how many seconds before post is saved in the database as a revision.

You might like to also install this Theme Component to give you more control of the appearance of Shared Edits posts:

TODO

  • Allow non-TL4 members to turn on Shared Edits - see this :link:

This plugin was inspired by @gdpelican’s collude but is a complete re-write so it fits better into the current Discourse designs.

3 posts were split to a new topic: Shared Edits plugin gives 500 errors and can lose data

I wonder if someone else considers it appropriate to show the list of all authors when the shared edits plugin is enabled.

Our main use case is to display credits on a common wiki knowledge base, where users can contribute to gain a badge and/or maintain a specific tier (old life-time subscribers → top tier while they maintain monthly real and low-effort engagement).

I think that fits better here, but it was requested as an addition to vanilla wiki categories:

Add overview summary of all wiki edits to revision history
List of wiki editors
Show wiki post contributors?
Shared Edits History

Is there any estimate when this will be worked on?
