Admin Editing user posts without showing the edit mark

So, I’ve migrated to discourse but there is a new challenge. Text and contents of some posts are out of place, like: the Hyperlink method and Quotes are not showing properly.

Is there a way that as an Admin, I can edit some posts without showing edit history (pencil) for that posts?

AFAIK no. But you can choose to not show editing history to users. OP will get a notice still, I reckon.

If you haven’t gone live you can fix the script.

If you have gone live then you might still write a script that will make the updates without the edit or include a note that explains why it was edited (so you can undo it if your script is wrong)

After editing the post, when viewing a given revision in the edit history, you can “Hide revision” to hide it from the history. This also hides the pencil if it’s the only revision the post had.

I’ve not gone live yet, still getting used to discourse before going live. I will try to fix via script.

Marked as solution because that exactly does what was asked.
