I’m getting this error when trying to make one of my own posts a wiki, as well as trying to make another user’s post a wiki. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/5/c/1/5c135247785247d8674f236d8e262abc9e274da8.png) - I’m an admin - `Edit wiki post allowed groups` is set to admins, moderators, everyone - `Self wiki allowed groups` is set to admins, moderators, everyone - `Edit post allowed groups` is set to admins, moderators, tl0 - `Edit all post groups` is set to admins, moderators, tl4 - The category’s security settings are set to allow `everyone` to see, reply, and create - The category does not have `Make new topics wikis by default` enabled - nor should it be, not every post should be a wiki in this category - The category does not have any category moderators - I tried to change post ownership to myself and make the post a wiki - did not work - I logged in as a test user with tl3 and created a post - did not work - I tried impersonating the user who made the post, to try and make it a wiki - did not work - I tried creating my own post and making it a wiki - did not work - I tried running the site in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) - did not work I’m kind of out of ideas now, not sure what else to try! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-create-wiki-as-admin/309309)._
