I personally question the need to hide buttons in the wrench when they are already hidden in the overflow menu. Right now, as a non-staff user on Meta, I see 3 buttons on my own post: link, flag, and edit, plus the overflow button. Once I click the overflow button, I get 3 more buttons, bookmark, make_wiki, and delete. All of these buttons have tooltips that explain what they are. If you take the “Make Wiki” button and put it in the wrench menu, you go from 6 buttons to…6 buttons, and make wiki takes an additional click to use. The only benefit I see is that the text displays next to the button as opposed to being a tooltip. Considering that non-staff users being able to wikify their own posts is a fairly new feature, and (to the best of my knowledge) wikifying posts is not done with any regularity by a “typical” user, I don’t see the need to move this button another click away from a user.
This morning (January 19, 2017), the green “wiki” icon has disappeared from initial posting.
After creating a post and clicking to wiki it, we used to get a green pencil icon next to the posting time. Now, it appears that nothing happens until someone actually posts an edit.
This is causing a ton of problems as users don’t think posts are being wikied. Is there any way to get this back during the initial posting?
I do realize that they should be seeing their pencil edit button at the bottom of each post, but they’re all used to seeing that green icon. It was very visible and easy to tell which posts were wikied.
@tgxworld changed the behavior but the green icon should show up even with no edits. For example, I am posting this as wiki. No edits yet. Do you see it?
I see @tgxworld the icon appears and then disappears. So this is a bug.
