Can someone repro the following?
Not sure if this is intended behaviour, but I always do this when reorganizing my docs, editing it and causing the bump shows the reader that something has been updated. Bug or feature?
It is a recent, intentional change.
There’s been a fair bit of recent discussion about it in this topic: New way to track edits on wiki posts? - #12 by mcwumbly
We probably need to do a little topic wrangling to make a more clear, dedicated space for feedback about this change.
Mine aren’t actual wiki posts though. But.. what a bad change. What was wrong with resetting the bump date IF the bump was unwanted? Now I have not a single way to bump my updated docs..
Right, the change is not specific to wiki posts.
You could reply to the topic describing what you’ve changed. That would bump it and give people a quick way to understand what has changed.
That said, I understand that’d be a significant change in your workflow and may not be acceptable without other changes to how replies appear and behave on docs topics.
FWIW There’s a bug with the new change that may serve as a workaround? (at least until it’s fixed 
) Topics (with replies) bumped on title edit
If you add a tag (and then remove the tag) I think it gives it a bump.
As of today that bug is fixed:
We are still taking the feedback about this use case into account and planning to add a new feature, where editing the first post of a wiki or docs topic bumps the topic regardless of whether there are replies.
PRs here:
Those PRs have merged; I’ve tested them and they’re working well for me. Please let us know if you see any issues though; otherwise I’ll set this topic to close in a few days.
The Salesforce topic has just been bumped due to a wiki edit. I found the experience a little confusing. When you click on the topic that was bumped, you end up at the last post you have read, but nothing has changed there. It didn’t feel very intuitive that the editing had taken place somewhere else.
Previously, a bump in wiki edits only happened if it was the last post, and then you ended up right there when you opened the topic. Now you can end up hundreds of posts later, and it’s confusing if you don’t know/remember that the first post in the topic is a wiki.
Perhaps it would make sense to add an indicator for this? Not a permanent small action post, more something like the topic timer which is shown at the bottom of this topic. Something like:
The last activity was an edit to the first post. Take a look
With a link to the first post. This notice would disappear as soon as the wiki edit is no longer the last activity, so it doesn’t spam the topic with lots of notices.
