Hi
I am new to discourse and setting it up to be used as a school discussion board. I would like that once a question is asked, there is a section where students can collaborate on solutions.
Something like in the picture below
.
I would like any suggestions on how to approach this.
Thank you

I believe that you can configure a category to automatically make the first post a wiki.

Probably needs the _SECOND_ post to be a Wiki…

I’ve got a good grasp on creating wikis, having the first post automatically be a wiki, etc. What I’d love is to have the second post automatically be a wiki, and the first one not.
