The concept of wiki-posts is great but there are a couple of frustrating problems.

1. There needs to be a way to get notified about changes in the post. There should be a way to opt out of these notifications.
2. There should be a way for the users to make their own posts/topics wiki. If the permission can be set by category, all the better. But admins having to convert the posts to wiki one by one is real pita.
3. Topics that have wiki-posts as the first post should open from the first post if there aren’t any unread posts in that topic. It would also suffice if we could set this by category, since all the wikis are in one category.
4. A way to create a table of contents would be great
5. Support for tables
