What’s the deal with people being able to edit titles? Can only Regulars do this? I ask because on another forum, we are having some issues with people editing topic titles.
Yes, that’s a feature reserved to Regulars:

But I assume each forum will have its own social rules around this?
The key word here is Trust
I can think of two common cases where changing a topic title is appropriate.
A new(er) member posts a less than accurately descriptive title. eg.
“Please help me with this”
Such a title does not convey what the topic is about so it would be justifiable to edit it to something better eg.
“Need help understanding Profile Preference Settings”
Another common case is misspelled words. Though I imagine most humans can figure out what was meant, automated Search isn’t always so intelligent. eg.
“Howto: Stting up an email servere”
should be edited to
“Howto: Setting up an email server”
I guess some people might be more the “spelling / grammar police” type and feel an urge to “polish” titles, but I would hope that such an urge would be generally suppressed.
That is, that most having the capability to edit topic tiles would not assume the role of “proof-reader” or “copy editor”.
Hi All,
We’re having a lot of issues and complaints regarding a large number of users being able to edit all thread titles.
Is it possible to make this an admin only function or perhaps limit thread title editing to the first 5 mins after a thread is posted? I’ve looked and can’t see any options to limit thread title editing - even removing the edit option for all users (which meant admins couldn’t edit posts) still allowed users to edit thread titles.
Would really appreiciate some help.
Many thanks
Sean
Just press the pencil icon next to the date to see who edited anything.
It should be in the edit history of the first post. You’d have to know which topics are making users mad and see if there is a common person involved
Ok. So I have to moderate? Is there no way thread title editing could be curtailed? Obviously it is sometimes useful but getting tonnes of complaints from users and I assumed there is just a combination of settings that I’m missing.
The only thought I have is you have your TL 3 settings too low and to raise them. It will take 2 weeks for it to kick people out of TL 3 (as there is a grace period), but that is the only setting I can think of at this moment.
Is it not possible to move title editing to a TL 4 option? I’ve made it really hard for anyone to become level 4, I think.
TL4 is manual by default.
TL3 should be hard. Here we have only ~30 TL3 users in a 23k user base with 1.6k active.
You have 153 TL3 with 850 active users (17%), maybe raise reqs a bit.
Whereabouts did you see those stats? This is what our admin panel says:
No, they have to fulfill all of them. Posts Read, Flags received, Flags given, et al.
For the record, we only have 42 TL 3 users on our instance (several of them were assigned and locked into TL 3 as they are “staff, but not moderators”).
你好，
有没有办法在信任等级为 3 或 4 的用户修改主题标题（或事件内容）时收到通知？
我找到的最相关的报告是位于 /admin/reports/post_edits 的那个，对吧？是否可以在发生此类编辑时（例如当帖子被标记为待审核时）也发送通知？
如果确实信任社区，允许 TL3 和 TL4 用户编辑主题标题是一个不错的功能，但我担心总有一天其中一些人会滥用这一权限，随意篡改标题。
谢谢，
Ilias
谢谢回复。
我在查看待审核内容（位于 /review）时，似乎找不到这类通知。
你关于警告或降级它们的说法是对的，但要做到这一点，我首先需要发现有人在标题上捣鬼，而这正是通知发挥作用的地方：slight_smile:
任何帖子的所有者在其帖子被编辑时会收到通知。
按照这一逻辑，作为话题首帖的所有者，创建话题的人会在标题被编辑时收到通知。
如果您不希望信任等级 3（TL3）的用户能够编辑标题，请在您的站点设置中关闭该选项：
受信任用户可以编辑他人的内容
允许高信任等级的用户编辑其他用户的内容
@codinghorror 是否可以为维基标题单独启用编辑功能？目前我还没看到这项功能，但如果有会很方便。
很遗憾，不行，该功能要么完全关闭，要么完全开启。
