Can we exclude wikis from unanswered topics?

[rachel-statsnz (Rachel)]

Is there a way to have the unanswered button exclude wiki type posts?

Could be better to add a selector for hide some categories and tags.

We have a glossary wiki sub-category that should to be outside the filter too

Thanks! Can you explain how to do that? I’m a bit technically challenged…I am assuming it is this box below but for some reason it is not excluding those categories?

Wikis are a post-level attribute, and the topic lists only have access to topic-level attributes, so it’s impossible to exclude wikis since we can’t know if a topic is a wiki or not in topics list pages.

So the best approach you see here should be using tags?

I believe so.

I opened a topic a while ago about the wiki identification from the topic list, where I got this info.

Add an icon in front of wikis in the topic list?

There is no specific CSS class in the topic list. Is it possible by editing the topic list template?

@rachel-statsnz – The settings you’re looking at there specify pages where the Unanswered link won’t be shown in the menu – not pages to exclude from Unanswered status.

When I set this up, I also wanted to exclude certain informational topics from the Unanswered list. My workaround is to post one reply, e.g. “This informational topic is not open for comments.” – before locking the topic. For your wiki topics, a comment inviting people to edit the wiki would serve to exclude the topic from Unanswered.
